Should Michael Owen Be In The England Squad?

Owen & Heskey = dream team.

much better than Defoe and Crouch or Defoe and Heskey.

 

RE: but if offered tomorrow, would you take him for Barnsley

Obviously yes....But No way is he good enough for our National team IMHO....

 

maybe not for 90 minutes , BUT, he does still carry a threat

in as much as that many many players in the international field do respect and fear the lad, maybe he is nowadays more of a sub/impact player ?

 

RE: maybe not for 90 minutes , BUT, he does still carry a threat

Aye maybe he'd be alright for the last ten minutes of a Game as a last resort? but i even doubt that to be honest....

Games I've seen him play over the last couple a yrs (when not injured) he seems slow and no real movement round the box, only my thinking like....

 

I don't think being at Newcastle is exactly helping the lad either

he is not as sharp as he was , and I seem to detect an air of hopelessness from the guy, maybe if he went to a team that was doing something thne he might get the fire back in his belly, Crikey I just had a thought....He Would be great fer us...hehehe seriously tho' what about HULL I reckon he could do good there

 

RE: I don't think being at Newcastle is exactly helping the lad either

Hull wouldn't want him lol, they fight for every minute of a game so Owen for sure wouldn't fit, hes lost all his desire for the game i reckon, and who can blame him playing for the shambles what is Newcastle....

Shame though....

 

RE: I don't think being at Newcastle is exactly helping the lad either

Only needs a new club to get him going again though. Can't argue with his stats, even at Newcastle. He is a poacher.

1996–2004 Liverpool - 216 games, 118 goals
2004–2005 Real Madrid - 35 games, 13 goals
2005– Newcastle United - 49 games, 21 goals

(from wiki so might not be bang on).

 

Not yet he needs to show long term fitness, theres too much much swapping and changing up front when Owens in the team.

 

Al be there setdy regardless. COME ON ENGLAND
