Michael Owen to join Manchester United – what about Kaka?

And so the news is breaking that Michael Owen, the once quite good footballer, is to join Manchester United.

Now as you all know, Newcastle supporters have spent more time wearing the Newcastle shirt than poor old Mike has, what with his injury record. He cost a fortune, tried his best, but the Owen body just wasn’t as good as the football shirt.

Here he is in one of his rare appearances in the magpies shirt.

Now Owen’s no Kaka – well who is, apart from Kaka, that is? – and we can’t understand why Sralex wants him sitting on the Man U bench. OK he’s on a free transfer, but he’ll still want to be paid a few squillion quid a week for polishing his boots and wearing the red shirt.

So there’s three things to learn from this little episode.

First, if you want a Michael Owen Newcastle shirt, get one fast.

Second, if you want a Michael Owen Manchester United shirt, get one fast as well, as our forecast is for Sralex to get shut of him soonest – unless Mike just gets fed up of the bench first. He’s signed a 2 year deal, but two years on the bench can get hard on your bum.

And third and most important, forget all about OK players like Owen and get yourself a brilliant Kaka shirt. The AC Milan Kaka shirt is getting as rare as hens’ teeth, so get it NOW

And by the way, I went round all the pubs in Barnsley last night and can officially confirm that Barnsley are NOT in the market to sign Owen. They’re still determined to do what it takes to get Kaka, and once he’s tired of doing tricks and getting fat at Real Madrid, the lure of the Barnsley shirt (and the Barnsley lasses) will prove too much.

Remember folks, you heard it here first.
