Owen to leave Man Utd?

Post by toonarmy#9 »

Sir Alex Ferguson has decided he is surplus to requirements just 6 months into his 2 year contract. Manchester United want to use Owen's £50,000-a-week salary towards a new contract offer for Wayne Rooney that will keep him away from Barcelona and Real Madrid.

An A-League Franchise should be looking on signing him between 2-3 years.
He would put people in seats.

Well, he actually would be a good signing for Aussie league. A little bit of stir, press coverage.
Anything that helps with popularity.
And someone to learn from for young players.

Just a bit of fantasy fun, to escape from reality with AU.

Mind you Fury got Fowler.

If we did get him I am sure put 4,000 extra on gate.

I thought Owen was on a "pay as you play" scheme?

As for Rooney, he won't go to Spain. He's a ginger and all that sun would ruin his looks. :wink:
Manchester United, not arrogant, just better.

Why are they so worried about "mr man u" leaving that they are willing to ad up to 50000 to his contract? Don't worry Owen Newcastle will have u back although you won't be on 50000 a week
Wait, what does this do?

Those contracts in england are illegal. They have to pay him a retainer wage which may include certain bonus' for appearances/performances.
