COME 2 THE GALAXY AND JOIN UR PAL BECKS

The salary cap will not allow the Galaxy to take on the type of salary Owens would command. I haven't heard anything about him coming over here but it would great to have him on some team in MLS. Don't really care where he goes, just jump the pond Owen!!

MadridistAmericano | 05/14/08, 08:30 AM

keep in mind the MLS changes it's rules on the fly!! Owen probably is too much but the fee he expects would be one that he earned 10 years ago, he's definately lost a step in my opinion. Still quality though.

I am currently watching Lost in Translation, and I approve of this move as long as Scarlett Johannsen is also there.

David James Brown | 05/14/08, 08:57 AM

If he doesnt stay in the EPL he should make the move to the MLS. I believe i read a 6-7mil GBP so that would be $12-15mil. Worth it?

OK there is no way the Galaxy could afford Michael Owen. He is making 17 million pounds playing for Newcastle. That being said, this would be career suicide for Mikey. The J-league has very little money to throw around and he wouldn't be able to play for England anymore.

I think Mike should stick to English football. Whatever happened to the Man U rumors?

Chiba is also at the bottom of the J-League - this isn't happening. I bet he stays at Newcastle.

GravityDaemon | 05/14/08, 09:40 AM

Galaxy can't afford him but what about NY? They sell Jozy and get Owen? Actually, I think I'd rather cheer for Jozy. And Lost in Translation was a horrible movie, but Murray was hilarious on the treadmill, "Help!!, Help!!"

1 Adam 12, we have a Caucasian thread that need 12 ccs of real banter, stat!

PimpyLooka | 05/14/08, 11:06 AM

No use. Flatlined.

URNZE | 05/14/08, 11:20 AM

I'd attempt cpr, but I'm worried about it giving me tongue during the mouth-to-mouth.

PimpyLooka | 05/14/08, 11:59 AM

If he goes to Japan it's just for the money. The MLS wouldn't be a bad place for him now.

As a Newcastle Fan, (in case the avatar doesn't give it away), I'd be upset to see him leave. However, as a New England Rev fan, I would love to see Owen and Twellman up front killing keeper's careers. However...no way Kraft would spend the money. Ahhh....dare to dream though.

wcpatriotfan | 05/14/08, 01:55 PM

He's not leaving England. He still has some life in him if he can stay healthy. Maybe Japan or MLS in 7 years or so, but no way now.

I'm just waiting for another Scousers petition to transfer him back to us like Rafa almost did last summer.

Jackie_Treehorn | 05/14/08, 02:11 PM

nooooooooooooooooo dont leave newcastle! ive loved owen and i would hate to see him fall of the planet like he would if he joined jleague or mls

dLindahl | 05/14/08, 02:20 PM

I'm a big fan (the proud owner of a autographed Umbro boot), would love to see him at Man U were he would shine.

Wiser 1 | 05/14/08, 03:26 PM

Owen fell off the planet a while back. Maybe MLS is what his career needs. He'll regain his superstar status and be closely watched by Capello.

Aurinegro | 05/14/08, 03:52 PM

i also heard that Ronaldinho is coming to play for the Chinese national team.
this is the biggest $#!+ ive ever heard. No international soccer star, no matter how much theyve lost is ever going to play in Japan. This is one of the stupidest rumors ive ever heard. When you are in your late 20s starting for the British national team and your name is not David Beckham, you dont go wasting your career by playing for a sucky team in the J league or any other league. This would be like him transfering to a division 3 english team. It would be one thing if he was thinking about the MLS or something but he needs to wait for like 5 years before that would be a good idea. If he does come he better not come to the Galaxy, because they get all of the stars, but the rest of their team sucks. I do think he needs to leave newcastle though, Man United would be great for him.

cavman5 | 05/14/08, 03:56 PM

If he's interested in playing every once and awhile or as a second half sub, then I guess Manchester United but I can't see him wanting to come back to Old Trafford.

J. HOVA: ALL FOR THE LOVE | 05/14/08, 04:28 PM

He would be behind Rooney, and Tevez which is why I'm unsure if Manchester United is the best place for him now.
