It's official. Michael Owen has signed for Manchester United. SAF has long been an admirer of Owen. He wanted to sign him in 2005 but was unwilling to pay the GBP 16.5mil demanded by Real Madrid. SAF gets him for free now.
Is this good news for MU fans around the world?
Pros:
- Owen is free
- Relatively low wage compared with other MU players
- Impressive track record for club and country
- Great understanding and interplay with Wayne Rooney for England
- Adds more attacking options for SAF after departure of CR7 and Carlos Tevez
Cons:
- Injury-prone
- Inconsistent form
- Lost a bit of his pace over the years
Well, I reckon SAF needs to get another striker. Honourable mentions include Pato, Torres, Huntelaar and Ibrahimovic. Happy hunting!
