Michael Owen has signed a two year deal at Old Trafford apparently.

Confirmed on SSN. The most bizarre transfer of the summer, but it could be a masterstroke.

I didn't want him to leave, and thought that a decent offer would tempt him to stay, as it was it didn't and instead he (or his agent) wanted to sell his ar$e to the highest bidder, which is City. Yes, I know it's modern day footballers, but to pi$$ off to the other side of Manchester is very annoying.

In Owen we will have a better goalscorer than Tevez, but we won't have Tevez' workrate / fitness levels.

Doesn't really bother me that Tevez went to City. I'd rather he went there than Liverpool or Chelsea, and I would like him to do well there, I was happy for Schmeichel when he was there. It would be good for Manchester if City became a force and squeezed out one of the other big four.

The Owen to United transfer is a funny one because its been something I've been saying to my mates for a couple of years that I wouldn't mind Owen at OT and people generally scoffed at it and said he wasn't a United standard player. I fancied going for him or Anelka in the transfer window a couple of years back but it didn't happen...I'm quite pleased with this move. Reckon he will hit about 15-16 goals for United and get in the England team for SA.

I think it's a Fantastic signing for both parties involved, Dismiss his Injury troubles (Although on paper it is hard to ignore) and you have a top quality Goalscorer there on a Free Transfer on i'd imagine £40/50,000 a week, It is a masterstroke by Ferguson IMO...

Man U fans reaction on fred tissue is funny to say the least.

This the same goalscorer who went down with the toon? or has he been reborn as the owen of 2001.

Two main targets gone to City....FACT....whichever way you look at it..£17 million on englands 2nd choice right back....awesome.

give over mark, you can't seriously think that johnson is the second choice right back, capello doesn't think so. as for barry thank the lord jesus he has gone to citeh, i have never rated him, and he is just a greedy b'stard who has shafted villa and their fans.

More surely. He seems to have an inflated idea of his own talent.

He's an upgraded version of Owen 2001. Just being in a United shirt and and listening to Fergie will probably make him the best striker in the world. If Chelsea or Citeh enquired about buying him, they'd be quoted a price of 60m.
