So the sun seem to think a full transfer and not just a loan.

It is the real Sun 'newspaper'. Don't just click the link, Google 'the Sun' then go to the website yourself, then search 'Owen'. It is there. Strange but it is only the poxy detestable Sun after all.

 

[Goring-by-Seagull]

If we could get him just on a loan he'd be a welcome addition. Class is permanent and he's a proper striker. Give him any sniff in the box and he'll finish it no problem. Lack of game time is obviously a problem but still..

 

[Easy 10]

Saw him at Leeds in the Carling Cup earlier this season, and he was absolute class. Two trademark lethal finishes.

It would be an incredible coup if his hamstrings could survive.

 

[APACHE]

And Brighton's wingers are still pouring crosses into the box but Owen hasn't been able to leap to any yet, we await the sound of snapping hamstrings.

I really thought that was just a computer knock up, cant believe the sun have actually printed it. It really is a complete pile of shite.

Shows that its not just the argus who get their stories off fans forums though.

I know full well their not brilliant but even they wouldn't put this on the back page just because they saw his odds randomly slashed on one betting site. Not saying it will happen at all but there's no smoke without fire IMO.

Both The Sun and SkyBet are part of the Murdoch empire so maybe not that random...

Now 5/4

 

[The Kid That Talks Sense]

It is official he is coming. He is coming because I speak sense, also I bought him on Football Manager 12, so if a kid could get him, surely Poyet could?

Radio Sussex just said the club refused to comment but such a move seems unlikely although they think a signing is imminent but not Owen.

Thats it then. He'll be signed by teatime

Interesting. 'No comment' rather than rubbishing the story.

Interesting. 'No comment' rather than rubbishing the story.

That was my thinking. So easy to just say "we haven't been in contact with anyone regarding Michael Owen", but instead we opt for "no comment."

Mmmmm.

Hate to say it but it looks like he's carrying some waistline in that picture.
