Craig, I dont think Owen wants to stay, money money money!!

I am praying that Mido Smith swap happens.

I agree with the other stuff you say about Owen, if he had ambition and showed the tiniest bit of loyalty then it would help him with his future management career. Why would anyone at all employ Owen as a manager based on anything in his past career to date??

Left his beloved Liverpool for money, injured at our club, paid fortunes, given the captain band and doesnt even think he owes one season, hasnt shown any team building skills at all, hasnt handled the fans or press well, just been fairly silent.

All he has ever done is been a decent scorer per appearance, that just says decent striker nothing else.

To make the transition from player to manager now is the time to show something extra while still taking a decent wage. He will not be captain somewhere like Man City, he will be sat on the bench for half the season unless they have injuries.

Surely he has sense to make the jump from player to captain to coach at a club like ours and gain the experience, then he could earn money like Harry Rednap and keep his horses and lifestyle going all his life.

i agree Ian, owen is key to many things in the dressing room. he is a name puller at the end of the day, so it goes to reason that with him leaving he is also a catalyst for others getting unsettled. he is after all, our only true world class name at the club.
i think that if ashley offers a better deal he would sign, it would be a masssive thing for our team knowing owen is committed.
the thing about man city having a verbal agreement is funny isnt it? he says that as long as they stay in the prem then he will sign. this therefore means that Owen has no ambition for getting cups at all as his only requirement from city is they stay in the prem. this would therefore mena that he is after one last big pay off job. this is how it comes across to me. its a shame though, iwould have hoped that as captain and having the chance to build on this last good year he might have felt a twinge of loyalty, not to ashley (cnut), but to the city and fans.

Some of these players are just weak kids with a talent, remember Bellamy and Dyer in their early days really annoying youngsters.

Nzogbia just speaks before he thinks and gets carried along on any tide in the club, ‘I love the place’ then ‘I want out’ .

Everyone should just forget about what he says as long as he does what he is employed to, then he is signed till 2012 and tough luck, if anyone wants to pay £14m in the first two weeks of any transfer window and he wants to go then fair enough, otherwise that is the value he is worth to us.

The board have allowed a team to get unsettled with Owen going, if they can do the Mido and Smith deal things will settle as we would have two good long contracted strikers who fit with Zog and Jonas’s style of play and he will shut up for a week or two.

Not even worth us concerning ourselves for a minute.

There are those people who have nothing much to say and who spam that nothingness like people are interested. This is an issue with most forums and boards. I always hoped that Ed would have some sort of registration process on here so that the losers could be identified and ignored. Or in worst cases removed.

@ dan157
hasn’t ed done enough already? i had several email conversations with him over a year ago when i suggested this blog was so unhelpful to the nufc cause that if he was a true fan of the club he should shut it down or stop comments.
