Well here's a bit of news I did not expect to be writing about. After 4 below-par seasons at Newcastle, Michael Owen has signed for Manchester United!
I honestly thought that considering his injury proneness and his lack of goals in recent seasons would have meant that he would have needed to have proven himself for at least one more season before any of the big four would be interested.
Add to the fact that we've already seen one player this transfer window refuse to swap jerseys of the Reds of the North, to see Michael Owen make this transition, albeit a few clubs in between, is a strange one. The once prodigal son of the Kop will be the audience to a chorus of boos during his next visit to Anfield without doubt. If he stays fit.
I really have no idea who thought signing Owen for Man U was a good idea. But I'll keep quiet for now, purely on the fact of not wanting to eat my words at a later date, and definately not when it's being served by Sir Alex...
