Q: Should Owen leave Newcastle?
1: Yes - 4
2: No - 7
-
No, he should repay the faith and loyalty shown by the club.
-
no.
-
No. loyalty. and maybe because big sam is coming to revamp toon
-
Yes, if there is any team in the top 4 wanting him, he should go. Cos he is already 27 yrs old and if he has any realistic hope of winning anything, he has to leave Newcastle. Owen don't owe Newcastle a thing, he is a professional... His injury was unfortunate but i bet it wasn't something that he wanted.
Owen owes himself a one last chance at the top... At 27, his has very little time left for him. If anything, he owes only himself a chance to win a winners medal. It is quite hard to imagine that here is probably England best striker for the last 8 - 10 yrs... But sadly, he don't even have a EPL winners medal to show for.
Sad... -
Maybe i will give a yes.. He should leave and enjoy his playing career..
Cheers.. -
Nope.. At least he should leave a legacy behind in the Magpies.. Like Shearer did..
-
No....Eh actually depend on the manager la..But i think if Big Sam comes then he should stay for the coming revolution after the past few years of rot
-
yes, back to pool!
-
No. He should repay Newcastle for the faith and patience they had given him so generously. If he leaves now, his name will really stink.
-
one thing, which team would be silly enough to buy someone who till date has not proved he have fully recovered and his pace or goal-poaching are still there?
MUFC interested but want someone to propel them to more glory.
But what if Owen does another "Saha", and ruled himself out.
IMHO, Owen, do a 20goals season, prove his fitness, and not becos of his name.
And maybe then, other clubs can consider... -
Yes, he should move on. What is loyalty these days? Besides Newcastle are no longer the same team challenging for honours, I predict next season will be relegation dog fight for newcastle.
-
if Sven goes in, goner..
but Big Sam, maybe got chance. -
, i think he should repay his loyalty by staying.
But if the release clause is triggered. Hmm, maybe he can consider United. Manchester United.
Cheers.
CK -
i think it doesn't matter anymore..
don't think anyone wants him after he was stretchered off.. in his time at NUFC, how many games has he played? -
Yeeeeee, No.
I think he should stay. -
a waste of talent
another long term injury will seal his fate -
OWEN WILL STAY, INSISTS SHEARER
Alan Shearer has backed former Newcastle and England team-mate Michael Owen to remain on Tyneside next season. The 27-year-old's future is the subject of speculation amid reports he could leave St James' Park for as little as £9million this summer because of a clause agreed when he made his £17million move from Real Madrid in August 2005.
However, Shearer is confident Owen will stay. Asked if he thought the striker would be a Newcastle player at the start of next season, Shearer told BBC1's Inside Sport programme: "Yes. He wants to get back playing and scoring goals for Newcastle. "Michael is probably slightly frustrated because he has a contract with Newcastle and he feels if every time he has to come out and say something about speculation, he would be in the newspapers every day trying to deny things. "It's a different story if Manchester United are linked with Tottenham's Dimitar Berbatov and Liverpool are linked with players - and you don't see those players coming out and saying, ''yes, that's true' or, 'that's not true'."
Owen played just his 14th game for the Magpies in yesterday's 1-1 Barclays Premiership draw at Watford, ending the season with three successive starts after 10 months on the sidelines recovering from the knee injury he suffered at last summer's World Cup finals. Shearer said: "I don't think anyone felt as much guilt as he did when he went down injured that day."
Meanwhile, Shearer admitted Sam Allardyce will have to sort out the dressing room if he is appointed manager. Talks were continuing today with the club hoping to unveil the former Bolton boss as Glenn Roeder's replacement later this week. Shearer said: "It's a huge job and there have been so many managers - I think I went through five or six in the 10 years I was there.
"There are a lot of personalities there that need sorting out. I think a lot of players have gone stale. "Sam is an expert at getting the best out of players. I hope dearly he goes up there and wins a trophy. It is such a huge club and they are starved of success. "One thing we can guarantee is he will get money to spend. I think it's defenders we need more than anything.
"The criticism that has always been aimed at Newcastle is the number of goals they concede, so I would imagine defenders are his top priority." -
wow, the god-like Shearer speaks....
