Huntlaar's lacking in pace - alongside Owen & Berbz it's not exactly the most mobile of front-lines, is it
He's a clinical bastard, though.

No one wants an Owen shirt
It's lucky for Michael Owen that Sir Alex Ferguson rates him, because Manchester United supporters certainly do not. Since he signed on Friday, the club shop has yet to receive a single request for an Owen shirt.
This evidences just how widely the dissatisfaction with his purchase is felt; very few supporters feel that he is good enough to play for the team, and just as many are resentful of having an ex-Liverpool player in the squad.
An employee at United's megastore commented that:
"We haven't got his number yet, which might have had an effect, [but] we are not expecting a big demand even when that is known. As far as I know, no one has asked for [it]".

There are probably loads of 'United fans' who just watch them on telly and think of them as 'the best team in the world' and remember Owen as being 'an England star', rather than worrying about his past allegiances. Surely those are the kind of fans who buy most replica shirts? And yet not one of them has asked for an Owen shirt? It would be funny if true, but I don't think it is.

An 'insider' told me yesterday that Madrid are waiting for the Huntlaar signing to be completed to use to make their bid for Alonso.
[/quote]
And also til after the 18th , as we'll receive 20% more of any fee after that point, so they can bid less.

Let's put this into perspective:
When Ronaldo scored against Sporting Lisbon, he didn't celebrate out of respect for his former club.
Taking lessons in grace and dignity from Ronaldo is like taking nutrition advice from your crack dealer.
He's a manc, ergo he's a cunt

My dealer, years back when I was young & dumb, dropped off 5 grams of coke to my apartment in town at about 4am. It was a party & I was fucked already. He said, deadly seriously, 'You look well done in lad, you wanna get some kip'

This is only an aside to the Owen business, but just shows how shite these small time journalists are and how they can twist the truth to suit
It starts
Then, just as you are thinking ha ha , but it's a little wierd some funny bastard has not picked one, it goes on
So they haven't sold a Michael Owen shirt because they have not really got one yet. These twats must really struggle to write things at times
It's pretty unlikely they are going to be a massive hit anyway, and I just hope it stays that way

Rat face and his take on the Owen move...
Gary Neville feels that Michael Owen's switch to Manchester United could help the striker play his way back into the England fold.
Former Newcastle United forward Owen sealed his shock free transfer to the Premier League champions last week.
Owen has won 89 caps for England and scored 40 goals but has played only once under manager Fabio Capello.
However, experienced right-back Neville is confident 29-year-old Owen will benefit from his switch to Old Trafford ahead of next year's World Cup.
"I don't think Michael moved to United for England. He's moved to improve Manchester United," said Neville. "But the opportunity is there for him.
"It's difficult for me to suggest whether a player is going to get picked for a tournament next year. That will be up to the manager.
"But anyone who plays for United over a season has a great chance of getting into an international team, no matter whether it be England or any other country.
"It's a hard club to play for and if you are playing well and doing well, then you have a great chance."
Nailed-on
Neville, who has 85 caps to his name, also outlined his hope that he could also be named in the squad for South Africa after recently being called upon by Capello.
"I have an opportunity," he added. "There's still a long way to go for anyone who thinks they can be in the squad.
"There will be players who think they are nailed-on certainties and then an injury will occur. I like playing for England and want to be there.
"It's frustrating not winning anything with England and not getting to finals but there's still a chance there for me."

Watch when he scores his first goal. And you see him kiss the badge.
You 'll want to smash his skull in. I used to like Larsson until I saw him celebrate in the United shirt.

This week especially
Scum are in Malaysia next week for a friendly and the whole city is BUZZING about the Scum (which they have been for years anyway......MEN-CHERS-TUH BEB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! )
Stickers, shirts, caps, even wrist bands.
Very heavy saturation on TV; and I'm already going nuts with all the'Glory Glory' and United We Stand' on TV and radio.
FED UP.
Tho in fairnessm, it was worse last time they came; pricks caused chaos in the airport.
Its also exceedingly annoying because the Bukit Jalil stadium where the Scum are playing is only about 2 or so miles from me but we're playing a week after in Singapore which is about 200 miles away.
Still the closest I've ever been tho ;D
One thing I should add tho is that the buzz concerning Liverpool is definitely far stronger than before, tho I think that's because the Reds come here far less often.

Rafa considered Owen signing
Reds boss opted not to sign striker as he wouldn't get in team
By Richard Bailey Last updated: 12th July 2009
Owen: Benitez considered move
Rafa Benitez has revealed that he considered signing Michael Owen this summer but came to the conclusion that he would not command a regular first-team place.
The 29-year-old spent eight successful seasons at Anfield at the start of his career scoring 158 goals in all competitions.
However that has not stopped the striker from moving down the East Lancs Road to fiercest rivals Manchester United on a free transfer from Newcastle this summer.
Benitez admitted that he flirted with the idea of bringing the forward back to Liverpool but did not feel he would dislodge Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard up front.
"We had contact with different people and were analysing the situation," he told The People.
"But if you want to play Torres and Gerrard there is not always a lot of space for other players.
"When I brought back Robbie Fowler it was a different situation. We were looking for someone who could understand his role clearly and he was a good finisher.
"But we have a World Cup coming up and all the top players want to play. In his position it would be hard for Owen to play every week at Liverpool."
Replacements
The Spaniard is also confident he already has enough squad depth at his disposal to cope with any injuries to his preferred front pairing.
"We are confident in (Dirk) Kuyt, (Ryan) Babel, (David) Ngog and (Andriy) Voronin for next season. We have players with quality," he added.
"People say I might need another striker but I remember signing Robbie Keane and everyone was saying good things.
"Then after I sold Robbie people were saying I was short of strikers but we scored more goals than anyone in the Premier League."
