Martins or Owen to Arsenal?

[AFII]

I would disagree with the "can take a challenge better than Owen".

At his best, Owen glided through challenges, he was too quick and had superb balance. He still has got superb balance, that's one of his strengths, but his pace has faded.
I agree he was limited and could only play one role. BUT, just because a player is more versatile or has more technical ability, doesn't mean they are a better player. It's all about end product and at his best, Owen was the best at producing the end product. So sad it didn't last very long.

Most managers now is aware of the problem with a quick striker and rests him more often so he won't end up with hamstring problems but if you want a quick striker to do a lot of sprinting then he will end up getting injured soner or later even if he is rested from time to time.

Tevez is as good finisher as Owen

No he isnt.

Me? Never touched a drop of alcohol in my life, honest

I think I'd say Tevez is potentially a lot better than Owen was, but as things stand he isn't.

Owen was unplayable at his best but he still was a limited player.

FLMAO

I have explained what I meant with limited player

Tevez is much better than Owen has ever been.

The point is that Rafa now has the money to sign the perfect players for the team.

Wenger wont go near Owen

Hang on, I'm really confused by this thread.

Normal Owen thread - AFII says he should return, everyone else disses him for it.

This Owen thread - AFII says someone else is better and he's over Owen, everyone else disses him for it.

Did I wake up in a parallel universe this morning

Owen to Arsenal, Henry to Barca and Eto'o to us

I fully expect this theory to be in a paper before the weekend (probably minus the smiley). Further to this I predict in the surrounding paragraph the phrase "transfer merry-go-round" will be used.

I thought the same thing.

Some people would argue with AF if he said the night skies were dark.
