Just look at the ****ing smile on his face. He knows what he has done today! Also says he always had hope of playing for fergie and cant wait to get out at The toilet and see the fans!

This is nothing more than mind games from the old pisshead who knows Liverpool are the main threat next season.

I don't care if he has signed for the scum, what makes me laugh is how the media report it as a shrewed piece of business by red nose, if we re-signed him Rafa would of been slaughtered by the press

[Leyton388]

You know what i would love to know what Carra thinks of this? Remember when it was said he slapped Gerrard for wanting to go to Chelsea? I can imagine he is at home fuming at this like the rest of us knowing what it will d to the fans.

Very true!

[MrMichael]

If I was a Newcastle fan I would almost be as pissed off as me.

I heard it from a few. They really want to see Owen end his career without a PL medal while watching us get back on top. They despise him.

Almost universally pleased to see the back of him, all the ones I know felt he let them down more than anyone else with his pathetic performances last season.

Vomit inducing Daily Mail article

Owen vows to repay United with goals as Ferguson lauds his 'world-class' signing

Daily Mail

Michael Owen completed his shock move to Manchester United last night after being put through one of the most gruelling medical examinations in football history.

Determined to satisfy themselves that the injury-troubled 29-year-old will not spend more time in the treatment room than in training, the English champions sent him for two days of tests.

But after United's medical team gave the green light last night, the deal was confirmed.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson said: 'Michael is a world-class forward with a proven goalscoring record at the highest level and that has never been in question.

'Coming to United with the expectations that we have is something Michael will relish.'

Owen said: 'I know there will be people out there saying maybe the manager shouldn't have signed me. But when the first game kicks off I can do my talking on the pitch and I want to start with a bang.

'A lot has been made out of my fitness but I certainly do not think I'm injury-prone. I'm 29 and have played over 500 games at the highest levels for clubs and at international level so I can't have been on the treatment table all the time.

'I had just begun talking to other clubs when out of the blue Sir Alex phoned me and invited me to have breakfast with him, during which he told me that he wanted to sign me.

'I agreed without a moment's thought. This is a fantastic opportunity for me and I intend to seize it with both hands. I want to thank Sir Alex for the faith he has shown in me and I will repay him with my goals and performances.'

It is understood Owen's troublesome knee was examined by a specialist in London on Thursday before he arrived in Manchester yesterday morning for yet more fitness checks.

Owen began the day at the club's state-of-the-art Carrington training complex before moving to a private hospital on the outskirts of the city for a further examination.

Owen has agreed a two-year deal, with an option for another season. If Owen can stay fit and even go close to rediscovering the kind of form that earned him the Ballon d'Or in 2001, he could become a sensational piece of business.

As well as arriving on a free, Owen has accepted a low basic wage that will only rise if he earns the performance-related bonuses.

The striker is desperate to prove his doubters wrong and silence those who think he is more interested in his horse racing stables than football.

He particularly wants to demonstrate to Fabio Capello that he can no longer be omitted from the England squad.

After four difficult years at Newcastle he has his heart set on boarding the plane to next summer's World Cup in South Africa.

Ferguson must be impressed by the player's willingness to drop his basic wage from £110,000 a week to nearer £20,000.

He will also see Owen as someone who could prove an effective partner in attack for Wayne Rooney, who has expressed a desire to be given a more central role now that Cristiano Ronaldo has moved to Real Madrid.

Ferguson has looked at other strikers, including Valencia's David Villa, but the striker wants to stay in Spain. In Owen, however, United might have someone just as prolific - for a fraction of the price.

I do want to hear Carra speak. Him and Owen are very close friends and it would be interesting to hear what he says. I guess though Carra would shrug it off as no big deal. Also though id like to hear what Carra has to say about the acadamy changes etc

I wouldn't like to hear carragher speak - i can never understand a word he says!

LOL@Owen though - he's quoted as saying that he'll be unable to sleep just thinking about all the top players he'll be lining up with. Newsflash Mikey....the top ones have gone. All that's left is the massively over rated rooney!

[lickedlollipop]

This is ****in unbelieveable. its like ****in dream. what a cunt.... i think the most of Reds will hate him 99%.

[Bari]

Am I glad that I grew up with Fowler as my no.1, thinking who the **** is this little ****e, he'll never replace Fowler.

[Leyton388]

Yeah Robbie was my fav player growing up. Always had his name on the back of my shirt.

Robbie is a true LFC legend and Owen isn't fit to wipe his ass IMO. However if i am honest i am not really that bothered as there are a lot of united fans that are gutted and embarrassed by this signing.

They have gone from Ronaldo to Owen in the space of a few weeks. While all we have is gerrard and the best striker in world football who laughed and i mean laughed about being linked to united a few weeks ago.

Even though Torres was not born here he has LFC running through him and will be here for a long long time and is 10 times the player owen ever could of wished to be.

I can see carra watching SSN now just saying "you little gob****e" to the tv then sending a text to MO saying good luck you'll ****ing need it come October 24th!!!!!"

i was a bit of a late bloomer, only a couple of years his junior in high school when i first saw him play. i made some vhs tapes and watched them over and over, and i saw that you could score from outside the area, that being bigger than the other guy wasn't so important....

a year later i had moved up 3 divisions and was made captain. at 19 we were undefeated and i had a golden boot. all thanks to that man. always #1 in my heart!

[Jimthered]

Can I just say what an utter utter utter cunt he is again ...

Join the line..

[Jimthered]

The day a true Liverpool Legend returns, this scumbag joins the enemy

Dont ever mention the King (All hail Kenny ) and that back stabbing little poisoined **** in the same sentence again.

[Jimthered]

Cringeworthy. That kit is **** too.

Bloody hell, never ever thought I would see that, bloody sickening to say the least.

I'll beat his ugly mug to a pulp if I ever get my hands on him.

[Leyton388]

A sphincter says what Michael?
