Why not? Jo would get half the wages Owen would want, would score as many goals and would have sell-on value. We get nothing with Owen other than paying a £50k a week wagebill and a hefty signing-on fee.

He's past it lads, why can't we all see that?

Oh yeah, and he's not scored in 10 games or something.

AND still has outscored any Everton player :lol:

So £8million for Jo and 25k a week wages compared to, at a push, £2million and 50k wages for Owen. Balances out over the years.

As people say we dont need a striker badly and I agree. But its called a deal. Say we bought Jo, we couldnt buy anyone else really. We get Owen we've got 10mill to play with and we've got a high calibre but injury prone striker.

Good point about the selling on fee, yes. But like I said, its a deal. We either take it or not. I think its a lowrisk deal where the end product could be better than the amount paid.

Look at Saha, he's bagged up about 9 points out of nothing and a FA Cup semi final with his goals.

I'm confident that Owen is interested in himself, his horses and playing for a Sky team. If we figure on his radar, I believe it's because he thinks we might be the best out of a bad bunch, which are prepared to pay countless millions for him to grace us/them with his presence.

We don't need him and he'll cost millions over three or 4 seasons.

All hypothetical. The money we spend on wages would be saved on his transfer fee. Proven striker who scores goals, possibly bring the clubs reputation up too.

He has still scored 10 goals this season in a very poor passing Newcastle side.

People were quite happy to sign Saha on a free - from United (probably higher wages) despite his injury list - which is far longer than Owens. Despite Saha having a worse goalscoring record than him!

It does confuse me how you can like one, and not like the other.

I was against the King signing so am afraid you must be confusing me with someone else
 
I thought Saha was a risk worth taking, we didnt have a player like him in the squad, hes very different than all our strikers. And if he could stay fit and be the player he was it would have paid off, but it hasnt and in my eyes its lesson learnt.

Injury prone players are injury prone players and for all the talent they have or rather had in Saha and Owens case, they will always remain injury prone and a waste of a wage.

Remember that when your on your way to Wembley. (y)
 
We still would have won if he hadnt scored.

I guess some of us expect more from our players, if you wish to lower your aims, thats fine, but I expect Everton players to earn a wage, rather than drain a wage.
