Its either great business or a poor judgement.

In other words a complete gamble.

Signing Owen is +ev, you just have to be well rolled.

bet he scores two hat tricks in the only two games fergie picks him

tekkin the piss buyin him.

smart move if they structure the contract so its weighted toward performance bonuses and is short with possibly an extention clause

its not like they're going to be paying a fee for him other than possibly a signing bonus

would be a much bigger gamble for a small squad team

besides UTD need a poacher all these 35yard screamers into the top corner are getting a bit boring. six yard toe pokes ftw.

Owen is still Emglands best striker IMO.

His injury problems are there for all to see but if he stays injury free for the season, he'll score a lot of goals and waltz back into the England squad.

I wanted Liverpool to sign him again

My own thoughts are he'll never again have that BLISTERING pace of his youth when he could just run past defenders for fun.

However if he could get fully fit ( a very big "if") he would be an excellent addition even to Man U's squad. Even now he is still a really good striker and would definitely get plenty of chances to score in MU's team.

All morning I thought this was a major piss-take by a journalist that's went too far, looks like it's real, wtf! He's not had a good game in about 6 years and he's so brittle it's unreal, Fergie finally lost it?

I thought they'd stopped having that Christmas party!

It's a no lose situation.

If it doesn't work out then it doesn't really matter as he didn't cost anything.
If it does work out then it's great because he didn't cost anything.

I'm pretty sure Fergie knows what he's doing.

Anyway, at the very least he'd get us an extra 5 minutes injury time at the end of the game.
