Michael Owen ?

[TRO]

Just me guessing here, but if we do get GH I reckon come January, he may rekindle his premiership relationship with Michael Owen ?

Like I said, just a guess on my part.

[Concrete John]

He was heavily discussed when he left Newcastle and went to Man U, and at that time I was against the idea.  But if we're talking a short term loan in January until we can sign the right man in the summer, I've heard worse ideas! 

[Somniloquism]

He has pretty much proved at Man U that he is made of glass and is no where near the person he was three years ago, let alone now. Avoid.

I agree chaps but GH was the manager that has had the best out of him.

[UsualSuspect]

is this a joke?

[Namaste]

Not sure I would like this.
If he can get fit and injury free then I'm sure Owen would be an asset but he seems to be broken.

Because he was lucky enough to have an uninjured, motivated by football, Owen. Now you have Darren Anderton Mark2 who gets injured tripping over an ant and is more interested in horse racing and other pursuits, with football his means of getting the money to support that. I might say ok on a Pay as You Play deal but I doubt he would accept that. Also how much would ManU want for him?

Owen works well with Heskey, so you never know.

Well, you do know. You know that Heskey is shit and you know that Owen isn't quarter the player he was.  So let's have no more of this sort of talk.

My thoughts exactly. Except I'm generally a lot less positive about Owen and include more swearing. Having read a couple of interviews with him in recent years, I reckon he's not actually interested in football at all. Just property in Dubai (really hope it's tanking, Mr O!) and equine pursuits.

This kind of thing would concern me: Houllier falling back on methods and personnel that worked 10 years ago. Whatever merits the likes of Owen and Heskey had then, they are way past their best now. Houllier has got to look forward, not back. Which is why it might actually be a good thing if Phil Thompson doesn't come to Villa. Maybe then Houllier will be able to leave all that Liverpool stuff in the past and concentrate on the here and now. He's going to find it difficult enough coming back into management as it is. There's nothing wrong with him drawing on his past Premier League experience but this is a totally new project, in a new era.

He's way to injury prone and unless we sell in the window dont we only have 3 slots left to fill in this
new PL set up?

If we sign three new players in January we'll be doing VERY well!

Can we file that next to "John Robertson will teach our wingers how to cross"?
