Forgive me if this is a dumb question but on pay as you play deals, do you get paid if you're on the bench or purely only if you actually get on the pitch?
If it was that case then i would gladly take on Owen. We would have Jelavic and Mirallas as our main strikers, Vellios as our back up striker and then if we were really struggling we could call on Owen. It's a squad game after all and we have struggled in the goals department and what does Owen guarantee? Goals.
17 goals in 52 for United might not seem like much but if you did it by minutes he played i am sure it would be a pretty decent return.
It would also mean that we would still have a fair amount of money to spend + one more player to the team without overpaying.
However if we get Niang he wouldn't be needed.
