Michael Owen won't be joining The Albion

[El Sid]

Is the wearebrighton tweet on Santa Cruz more drivel?

 

[Bean]

He's lost it anyway, he just thinks he can cut it in the PL.

 

[Northstander]

That's not his account, my mate saw him the other day buying a corn beef slice in greggs with a top man bag on western road! He is Amex bound!!

 

[Barrel of Fun]

He sounds like a dick to be fair. Hes been second rate for years, in fact the so called peak years for a footballer and he's clearly not up for a challenge.

That accounts for my feelings.

Maybe his ego could not cope with "Former superstar playing against Ipswich Town (or whoever)".

Dear @themichaelowen

Not being disrespectful when saying I wouldn't play in The Championship.

Well you are. Saying you are not doing something before doing it does not have a nullifying effect.

Always said I wouldn't drop down the leagues like some have done.

Yeah what losers they all were, doing crazy egocentric stuff like sticking with their club, taking up a challenge, wanting to play games because they love the sport and even in some rare cases accepting they are not as good as they used to be.

After playing for Liverpool, Real Madrid, Newcastle, Man Utd and England I don't think I would enjoy that football.

Its not like you were with England recently, It didn't really work out at Real, nor for my money at Newcastle, nor for anyone's did your career have a late blossoming at Man U.

If a good opportunity doesn't come my way then so be it.

sounds fair enough

At this stage of my career it has to be something that I'm going to enjoy doing.

Thats fair, it's not the money and if you haven't earned enough you can still win all of JTs money off him.

I know I can still bang them in at the top level

no one else know this though, but many think you could do a bang up job at a pretty high level.

I proved that nearly every time I played for Man Utd.

How many times was that? How many of them were 'top' games? The first step is acceptance.

At 32, still got a few years in me.

Yes you have, but not at the very top, and a club with a good doc would be a good idea, I'm not trying to entice you here by saying that but given you allege you want to play with your injury record that should be a top priority.

I'd love the cocky little midget to read that. Well played.

Cant sleep?

rain keeps me awake at night, and oddly stops me from waking up in the morning. I should accept I was born in the wrong country.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

The fact is that most young people would kill for a successful career in football, and he has the arrogance to say he's only going to get out of bed in the morning if he's playing for a PL team?

What a bellend.

 

[dingodan]

Tried to sound humble while saying, "I'm too good for the Championship."

Didn't work.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Well what a pompous twat.

I am sure Bruno felt the same moving from Valencia to little old championship football.

Fair enough owen....f*** off in your retirement then.

 

[Wozza]

At least not this season..

He mentioned Newcastle this time. Last time he didn't - and they went mental.

I guess he doesn't want to drop down because he'll get found out.

Very disappointing career. Looked odds on to break the England record when he was in his early 20s.

 

[Zebedee]

So Owen is not going to join us or any other club in the Championship? Does anyone care? Owen is very much a has been and not what we need to mount a challenge for the EPL this season.

 

[Pat McCrotch]

Ever since his beloved Liverpool disowned him, he turned into a sullen chippy has-been.

 

[Baaaald]

He has only played 130 games since 2004!!!!! Move on.

He`s only at manure because he is stable mates with fergie

 

[narly101]

I saw this, this morning and thought pretty much exaclty what everyone is thinking - what a twat. Can't believe he feels comfortable with saying, "always said I wouldn't drop down the leagues like some have done" - pompous self-righteous prick.
