Hull in for Owen

[HC]

Hull City manager Phil Brown has revealed he will approach Michael Owen over a possible move to the club this week.

The 29-year-old stated on Monday that he would be leaving Newcastle this summer as his contract comes to an end.

The striker admitted that he had already received numerous offers from Premier League clubs and even some from abroad but he insisted that the Tigers' approach was a 'new one' for him.

Brown is confident that he can offer the former Liverpool man an attractive offer, despite the fact that the frontman will have to take a considerable pay-cut if he is to join the Tigers.

"We will be speaking to Michael's representatives within the week," he told the Hull Daily Mail.

"I would think he would have a number of offers and we'll have to be competitive. But I wouldn't sit down with him if I thought I was wasting my time. Anything is possible in football.

"I don't think Michael will go for the best financial offer, I don't think it's about that for him at this stage of his career, he'll want the best offer for his future.

"He needs to spend a high percentage of next season's games at the highest possible level and that's where we can come in."


I'll be gutted if Owen join's that cunt's club.

Yes, it would be a mistake. But that's what Michael seems to do these days. Make mistakes. Didi Hamman would be a good buy for Hull, but I hope he doesn't go there, either.

 

[Richey]

Dear me, that wouldn't be very good at all.

I'm sure he can do better than Hull can't he?

Saw him linked with Everton this morning. I can see that one happening. Other than that, maybe Blackburn? Villa? Wigan??

 

[gkmacca]

Tranmere?

 

[Mors]

Ha. Love it if goes there. He'll be moving there to win things obv, as always.

I know I'm in the minority, but I would love to see him back here.

 

[gkmacca]

So would I. We just don't know for sure what he's got left, but we know better than most what he's got in terms of goal scoring instincts. And psychology is important here - the best place for motivating him would be Anfield. And his only chance to get in the World cup squad would be as an impact sub - which is how we'd use him.

I concur, pay as you play for a season and if he proves he has the legs then give him a proper contract.

You're not mate. I think 99% of the people on here would have him in a blink on a pay-as-you-play.

Everywhere you go in Hull you can smell a butcher's shop. I'm surprised Bellamy hasn't moved there yet.

I wouldn't begrudge Owen for demnding crazy wages for having to live in the vicinity of that place.

If Rafa can sign the likes of Voronin on a free I don't see why he's so reluctant to sign Owen. Sure his wage demands might be a bit high but we have the upper hand. It's not like we need Owen, I think he needs us. He wants to get back in to the England squad and playing for us is a great way of making that happen.
We have nothing to loose. Gerrard will be happy and so will Carra. Shirt sales will probably go up as well. Most importantly well have enough Englishmen to satisfy the Uefa quota.

 

[Squiggles]

Agreed

 

[mark1975]

Poor the Michael, I still really like the lad too, great player.

He is probably about 3 foot too small for Stoke and their style of play.

 

[Rosco]

So after sending out the shiney brochure he got replies from Hull and Stoke ...........

That can't be good for his self esteem

 

[Loch Ness Monster]

Where did it all go wrong Michael?
