Owen To Replace Henry At Arsenal - Report A report coming out of England suggests that Michael Owen could be moving to Arsenal to replace the supposedly Spain-bound Thierry Henry.
Owen To Replace Henry At Arsenal - Report

Manchester United have been linked with the former Liverpool and Real Madrid man, but are reportedly looking elsewhere after baulking at his wage demands.

The Newcastle Evening Chronicle have claimed that Arsene Wenger is now looking to bring the England international to the Emirates.

Reports of a possible summer exit for Thierry Henry - who reportedly bid farewell to his teammates on the final day after failing to be convinced by the management - is said to have been the reason.

Should Henry leave, Arsenal can afford to spend the money earned on Owen, and the Frenchman's wages should make meeting the Englishman's demands rather easy.

Wenger has supposedly asked St James' Park officials whether they plan to play both Michael Owen and Obefami Martins up front next season.

Should Allardyce decide otherwise, it would be financially unviable for Newcastle to keep two players with such high wages on their books, and Arsenal are ready for a swoop.

Wenger will supposedly watch Owen in action with England B against Albania on Friday, and also against Brazil and Estonia, to make up his mind.

He has time on the side, with the Spanish season still having a month to run on it. Barcelona are unlikely to move for Henry officially before the La Liga title race is decided one way or the other.#

if Henry leaves and i think he will then Owen would be a singign we need a player that scores and stays in the box ,

I can't see it. Henry is engrained at Arsenal with his mentor in Wenger. His wife is English, he loves everything about being here. He may have some professional regrets later when he's retired if he never gave somewhere like Barca a couple of seasons, but other than that I can't see him going.

Owen is just not a Wenger player at all. His first touch is incredibly inconsistent so he just wouldn't fit into Wenger's all singing all dancing style of football. He once said he wanted a jack in the box style of striker, however I think he knows now that they type of player rarely if ever fits with his footballing ethos. I also think buying Jeffers years back has jeopardised the chances of him ever splashing millions on an English player again!

Most Wenger purchases are six footer athletic types as well. Even guys like Pires and Van Persie who aren't robust are tall lean machines!

Nope, can't see this at all.

It's more likely that God will be seen sharing a big mac and fries with his good friend Cashley Cole in the near future.
