Yep!!
When MO is having his medical this afternoon, does it check his mental state?
He gonna be knackered come the world cup next year, Newcastle are gonna play him in every match they can, probably play in any mid-week games for there reserves if it was upto them
They haven't got the depth of squad yet to rest him,when needed, which
was the problem for him at Liverpool.
You play him, you tend to win, you don't, you often lose!!
Ha-ha!
Now, now, you had him for what, nine years? Don't be jealous.
They always say, "Never go back", you know.
Anyway.... he won't be knackered for the World Cup, because he'll only be playing in the League and two cups, so that's a maximum of about 46 games, which is nothing these days. And it's a given that he'll have a hamstring problem at some point, meaning he'll miss about a dozen of those games.
I still won't believe it until I see him wearing a black and white shirt, but I'm chuffed, because I do believe we've strengthened our first team pretty well, and I suspect there might be something else on the cards, if not now then in January.
Next season will be more of an indication than this one for us. Whether Owen will still be with us then remains to be seen!
