-Removed-ofcourse this signing has not filled UNITED fans with great exciment- still no word from Rag or RooneyOneceABlue.
Both of whom have gone into hiding since the football lesson they got in the CL final😵
No dought both waiting for United to get the cheque book out to sign some top star....Karim Bezame? opps!! no .....he also snabbed United and went to play for a bigger club😀
-Removed-I was never a huge fan of Owen's but always had to respect the number of goals he has always scored. At Real, he showed his ability to be an impact player from the bench, ending a season with the highest goals per minute ratio.
Even, at Newcastle, he managed 10 in 30 last season in a very poor side and while plagued by injuries.
It's a no loose situation for Fergie, three things can happen: he comes back to his former self and scores loads of goals, he is used as a sub and scores goals or he is injury prone and rubbish and costs us pretty much nothing.
He's 29 and there is no reason to say he is past his peak providing he can stay injury free. Although, given the bambe-esque nature of his knee injury while playing for England I have my doubts.
I'd hope he's not our major forward signing this season. I'd expect at least 2 more first squad players to be signed. Douglas Costa looks superb and maybe pick off a couple of players from Real, like Schneider and/or Huntelaar? Should be good value to be had.

was beckham's absence one of the reasons why england failed to qualify for eruo 2008?
The huge slump in England shirt sales resulted in our squad not being able to afford the air fare to the finals. So to save embarrassment, we 'pretended' not to qualify. Honest
Mickey Mouse cup anyway.
