Just a quick question on meltdown issues, how long was Redcafe 'melted' for?
As for Owen, I can't believe it. I simply can't. Why? From Ronaldo and Tevez to him?? |

I know every year is their year, but I have never seen them as confident of winning number 19 as they are now. They reckon something will have to go terribly wrong for them not to win it - there's just no other outcome apparently.
I can't wait for the season to begin now. |

As for Tevez, he scored less goals in more league games last year. Very good player but not happy being third choice. That's fine. Benzema was the only option worth splashing the cash for - the majority of other options would block Welbeck's development and wouldn't be a significant improvement. I'm happy taking Owen for free than spending over £20m on the likes of Rossi or Forlan. I'd be happy if we signed Douglas Costa though, looks quality that kid. Oh, sorry, discussing it in depth is pointless. Instead, lets stick to just saying "oh my God from Ronaldo to Owen!" over and over again. I've had a little look over at RAWK and they are all obsessed with comparing Owen to Torres. That'd be like us comparing Rooney to N'Gog. Nutjobs. |

Bitter, bitter people.
I can understand them being upset, but some of the scorn that's being spewed on RAWK is pathetically unsavoury. His offers were coming in from the likes of Hull and Stoke - what would they expect him to do when United comes calling? It's not as if he was a boyhood Liverpool fan. |

Firstly, I don't post on or read RAWK. I only heard about them from this site (strangely). Above half Liverpool fans are angry at Owen for choosing you lot. I for one haven't got the smile off my face since Thursday - bl**dy Redcafe's been shut since then!
Its no risk getting Owen, but its hardly one step forward after going 5 steps back. "Owen is a one trick pony, no left foot, can't head, can't play team touch football and is weak". These were the comments from you lot when he WON the Ballon D'or at 22 (or whatever young age). |

He's a decent (and cheap) option on the bench who's always had a knack for scoring goals. He's not being charged with any creative responsibility like he was at Newcastle, and he's not on the pitch for 90 minutes a time. To win titles you needs little bits and bobs like him. And anyway, who's the signing that's going to take you to glory this season, Glen Johnson? Dont make me laugh. |

Tevez wasn't a world class player, and is not going to be as big a loss as most of you Scousers seem to think. His work rate was great, and he gave us some great moments and important goals, but we were quite a few who had begun questioning his ability before it become apparent that he might not stay with us. (shut up Storey) Ronaldo is obviously a big loss, but the affect of losing him remains to be seen, and is impossible to predict. We've bought Valencia who is a different player to Ronaldo, and that might change our team from being reliant on a single player to everyone chipping it. That could of course just be wishful thinking on our part, but it's not all doom and gloom. That being said, I'm perfectly happy with you guys taking the favourite role upon yourself, that'll just make it that much sweeter if you yet again fail to win the league. |

Glen Johnson is replacing Arbeloa. Valencia is supposedly replacing Ronaldo. Who's laughing? |

This isn't an argument about who's winning the league. Its about a brochure. ;-) As it stands, if Ancelloti doesn't totally screw up, I can't see anyone stopping Chelsea winning the league.
We still need a good backup for Torres (+ having Masch/Alonso issues) and Arsenal are still fooked. |

He's considerably better in the air than he ever was, and his left much is much better than when he burst onto the soon. Where as with so many other players, they have a weakness, and they don't seem to improve on it at all |

I wonder how they'll feel when Saint Michael turns out for United against LFC. I mean, the man's a Liverpool legend. I'm still finding the whole thing surreal.

We all hated Owen when he played for Liverpool. That's the way it's always been, daft as it is.
If Ronaldo had gone to Liverpool he wouldn't be called a greasy Portuguese. |

I just find the whole consensus that if we don't sign a £45mil+ rated player were shit quite funny. Us buying a decent player like Valencia is judged as Fergie going senile (yet again) whereas Johnson is the final piece of the jigsaw.

Even at Newcastle, when healthy, he scored 26 goals in 58 appearances. If that's not worth a "gamble" of a pay for play, I don't know what is. Seems like a brilliant move to me, even if he only plays 15 games, you know, because of the Pay to play. |
