Club media man just confirmed this on twitter. Really hope we don't sign this clown, we already have an injury prone former England international midfielder. Plus we already have Barton, Derry, Park, Faurlin and Diakite who can all play central midfield

How do you justify calling him a clown?

[Ric-Roc]

If fit & on a pay as you play its a good deal for both parties.

[qpr]

Could work out really well for us. Just saying

[Naarven Mankey]

He was without doubt the best defensive english midfielder for many years until his career was cut short by injury. If the guy stays fit i would love to have him here he would be a major plus to have.

[Del]

If he proved fitness, how good does this team look....

...................Green
Fabio....Ferdinand....Nelsen....Traore
..........Diakite.....Hargreaves
SWP / Park...Taraabt........Hoilett
..................Cisse

Plus Faurlin to come back into the mix, plus Barton, possibly a commanding CB and with good back up up front and it would be looking great. That formation with the flying FB's given licence to attack knowing 2 good DMF could support the CB's if caught on the break and we would be fantastic to watch and cause no end of problems for anyone.

[Slydo]

would be great as a squad player.

[maverick69]

Lol.

If fit - he's one of the best DM's on the planet!


Let's see!

[winalotto]

Top,top player when fit, he would be in many teams in this league if it wasn't for his knees, would never be able to play 2 games in a week but you never know, think he is only keeping fit with us anyway, he has been at a few clubs training this summer.

[w12dave]

bloody hell... did not see that one coming

[qpr]

I really hope he signs actually. Cheap wages, 1 year deal, if he stays fit he's brilliant and he's never missed a training session at City since January.

Diakite & Hargreves in DM :O

[LoftusRoadLad]

We need a top squad if we are going for both cups, so having a player of Owen's pedigree is gonna be massive.

[Hertford Hoop]

Far from being a clown, could be a good two way thing. Pay as you play, his experience would be great too

[pauldrayton]

Very excited about this news actually. A top class player and model professional who will be great to have around. If fit he'd be the first name on the teamsheet imo.

[Shania]

If we sign him, he is the sort of player who can show other members of the squad how to work hard both on and off the field. I do also regard him as model pro and by all accounts a person who never gives in...

[EYR]

Even if we can just get a few games out of him until Faurlin is back to full fitness,if OH can stay fit he would be a starter for me.
