maqroll Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Did it all go wrong though? He's 32 years old, he's played for 3 of the biggest clubs in the world, scored some incredible, memorable goals, represented England in a positive light, and will have an enduring legacy of a world class player...and he made a few shekels along the way. I'd say he's had a very good career, despite his setbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should of had more trophies, more caps, and he should be the all time top scorer for England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 And he probably would have been if he hadnt suffered so badly with injury. The thread is already going round in circles, isnt it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say he's had a very good career, despite his setbacks. Only the fourth Englishman after Matthews, Charlton and Keegan to win the Ballon D'Or too. There is no way he could have played regularly in the Premiership so the Utd move was the best move for him imo. In his first season for them he still scored the winner in the Manchester derby and got a Champions League hattrick. Quality player ruined by injuries, yet still achieved a lot in that time.

BOF Posted July 30, 2012 Moderator Share Posted July 30, 2012 And never once scored 20 league goals in a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Could dribble a bit and finish a bit and was **** lightning. Pace went, waste of time. Never liked him as a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted July 31, 2012 Moderator Share Posted July 31, 2012 So that move to the unnamed club that he was close to joining a couple of weeks ago never came off. It is almost as if his agent was trying to flush interested parties out by making it look like he was going to be snapped up..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted July 31, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2012 Someone needs to partner him with Emile up front. Lethal partnership! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronk-villa Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I think owen went to Man U BECAUSE he wouldn't have to play every week. By that point he knew he wasn't up to playing week in, week out. A move to Villa or Everton or whoever would have finished him 2 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 The thing no ones mentioned so far.. after all he did for Liverpool he then went to Manure and thus killing his legend status in a large number of fans eyes. Can you imagine Sid in a blues shirt? On that basis alone he shouldnt have signed for Manure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Depends how much he cares about what Liverpool fans think of him, doesnt it? Based on the evidence that he signed for Manchester United, I guess the answer is not much. Even if he hadnt signed for United he wouldnt be in the same league with Liverpool fans as Sid is with us though, Owen was never as popular as Robbie Fowler, Ian Rush, Kenny Dalglish or Kevin Keegan with the Kop End.

VillaGoMarching Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I know he can still join a club, but Speaks volumes that he's still without a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted September 1, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2012 He should go and play in the Championship for 6months to prove himself. Why he thinks he should play in the Premier League is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Plenty of lower league clubs wanted Owen but he wants to be playing for a top level team. I am sure if we offered him a contract he'd accept. He could teach Weimann a thing or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhyscartwright_avfc Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 He should go and play in the Championship for 6months to prove himself. Why he thinks he should play in the Premier League is beyond me. Why should he? He's good enough to play at a top level. He doesn't need to play football to pay bills or anything so if he hasn't got a suitable offer that he likes there's no need to go and play for an average team just because he can.

The_Rev Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Agreed. Owen is in a position where he can wait on an offer that is good for him and not be too bothered if one doesnt come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 by most accounts stoke made him a very good offer but it wasnt enough if thats the case he needs to find a balance, if he wants tons of cash (cant see why though, he cant be poor) go play in the states, china or oz, if you want to play in the prem that bad then accept a reasonable offer, the days of owen earning over £40k a week in this country are long gone IMO, no club would take the risk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
