Rumour - Michael Owen

[Ian Royal]

Doyler says that if one of our strikers gets 10-15 goals this season we should stay up comfortably. Well Yakubu scored 17 last year for Blackburn and they didn't.

I said should, not will.

I think it needs to be closer to 15 and a second player on around 10. Kitson got 11 when we were relegated didn't he? So even should seems a little strong for a top scorer with 10, 11 or 12. But 20 goal a season st rikers are virtually a myth for Prem teams outside the big 4 - 6

[Royal Ginger]

Or would be a brilliant piece of business by a club who have a good scouting system and are prepared to spend money to back up their beliefs. A 20-goal a season Prem player would virtually guarantee RFC survival in the first season - that is what we all want. Don't decry someone who believes that we should be looking for that uncut diamond!

Quite ridiculous. Only 3 players went over 20 prem goals last season. Not going to happen.

We could sign both Owen and Heskey on frees and re-unite one of the best strike partnerships in premier league history

[Eaststandman]

or Shearer & Sutton maybe!

[premiership_bound]

Saint and Greavsie?

[LightwaterRoyal]

Quinn and Phillips, Yorke and Cole, Berbatov and Keane, Crouch and Defoe, Pogrebnyak and Le Fondre? Most top partnerships seem to rely on a big man little man combination

[Eaststandman]

Keegan and Toshack are both available!

Is that his colour?
I always thought of him as a Red.

[sandman]

He may still go to Stoke because he likes the Barcelona way of playing! (For anyone who does not understand this post - It is a joke!).

I wouldn't mind betting that these ignorant homosapiens still don't understand Sieve even after you've divulged the information that it's a joke.

[peterroyal76]

When RFC need hungry 20-goals a season goalscorers just to stay in the division, why is anyone talking about a retired racehorse owner?

We don't need a 20+ goalscorer, that statement is incorrect.

Agreed, if one of our strikers gets 10-15 goals this season we should stay up comfortably.

If we keep conceding stupid goals like we are doing at the moment a 40 goal a season striker may not be enough.

I dreamt last night that nothing was announced all day, then in the evening the website uploaded a video of Brian and co in an Irish pub being like "sorry we didn't do any exciting signings last minute and all that!" then Owen trots up with a round for them all, big reveal! Totally ITK. Will happen. Fact.

[moonwalklikebas]

Id personally be happy with this.

We are still interested given the right deal. Read today its between us, Stoke, everton and Liverpool

[melonhead]

rumours he is off to the posh

[ManchesterRoyals]

To Old to injury Prone

[cmonurz]

I'd be very surprised if we're in the picture at all, save for Owen once saying "I saw a sign post for Reading whilst driving to Ascot Racecourse."

[moonwalklikebas]

rumours he is off to the posh

Thats just peterborough fans making shit up on twitter!

Hahaha European player of the year once at Peterborugh would be big LOOLLLS

[bassavage]

Doesn't need to sign for anyone today. Free agents don't need to be bought before deadline day.

[TBM]

rumours he is off to the posh

lol @ "rumours"

No its bullshit, not rumours

[melonhead]

whatever your definition of rumour is, is wrong
