With the european Football Trasnfer window only open for a few days. Real Madrid has splashed out nearly $200 million on the likes of AC Milan’s former World Player of the Year Kaka, Manchester United’s reigning World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo, and French striker Karim Benzema, who was widely favored to replace Ronaldo at United.
With Madrid also the favored club to land popular French winger Frank Ribery, which young, exciting and emerging talent does United turn to fill the gap left by Ronaldo (and the sulking Carlos Tevez)?
Michael Owen.
The 29-year-old former England star has spent the last five years battling every ailment from a broken foot to mumps (yes, mumps) as his club Newcastle spiralled toward its ultimate relegation at the end of last season.
And now he’s ours. Can’t say I’m overwhelmed with anything other than ambivalence.
The upside of this free transfer is that Owen can’t possibly disappoint.
Or can he?
