Gerrard defends Owen, offends Newcastle!
Posted on June 3rd, 2009 | 7 Comments |
Steven Gerrard, a player with the creative spark that has been sadly missing in the Newcastle team of late, has expressed faith in Michael Owen to recapture his shooting boots, and return to the England squad. Also and in terms some Toon fans may find a little disparaging to say the least, he also expresses faith that Michael will return to a “big club”. Thankyou for that, Steven.
Speaking about his ex team-mate yesterday he said; “Errrrrrrrrm, I’m a player, I’m not a scout or a manager but if I was I would be giving Michael a ring. I’m a big fan of Michael, a good friend of his and I would love to see him get a move to a big club and get his England career back on track. He then added with a wry smile “Don’t use that quote, I meant to say bigger club”.
He then added; “He’s suffered a lot in the last couple of years with injuries but a fit Michael Owen has got the ability to be involved in this squad for sure. I’ve not spoken to him that much of late but I’m sure, knowing Michael as long as I have, he will be desperate to get back playing football again, stay fit and scoring goals.”
Comments welcome.
Liverpool to sign Owen for the Masters Football, competition for the likes of Ian Rush.
