Michael Owen and the Premier LeagueChampionship Newcastle United by Ankara (U2045953) 22 June 2009 He may only be 29, and may have scored 40 goals for England, but it really is time for Owen to take a reality check. To put it simply, he's past it and is nowhere near the player he was and indeed nowhere near the standard required in the Premier League. Latest 10 commentsRead members' comments or add your own

MABR82 (U14047074) posted Jun 24, 2009 as a wolves fan, im 50/50 about signing anyone of this calibre of player. would the other players look up to him or resent him. thats what the manager of whichever club he goes to needs to consider.

With Beattie attracting all the pressure Owen would get at least twenty a season, a no brainer really and as I thought earlier. Come on JM & MM, don't miss out. posted Jun 24, 2009 comment by antiblazer (U10680848)

stev666 (U6790938) posted Jun 24, 2009 The problem with Stoke or Hull wanting to sign Owen is that he will demand sky high wages, personally I think that it would be too much for either club, and its doubtful his body is up to the punishment of top flight football any more.

mancsincebirth (U9437174) posted Jun 24, 2009 problem aint getting paid sky high wages or anything of the like, just needs to go somewhere he will get service so can get the ""dismal"" 1 in 3 ratio back up to 1 in 2 or even 2 in 1. Villa is the place for him to go but Everton would still be good, just issues around his history for the red half!!

badbunny1979 (U13787576) posted Jun 24, 2009 Put simply he seems to have lost his desire to suceed at the top level since he left Liverpool. His heart simply isnt in football anymore, hes more interested in Horse racing and if a top club does take a chance on him they'll be getitng a talented, but half hearted and injury prone player.
