"Kabhi kabhi kuchh log shock se aise kaam kar jate hain jiska unhe koi shock i nehi hota!!.....How shocking is that..hain na!!!"......Dhaamal


Have you ever imagined that such a humorous piece of statement from Arshad Warshi will one day hold true for a legendary and successful manager, Sir Alex Ferguson??...Well I never thought that way, even a second before I heared the shocking news that Michael Owen has signed for Manchester United. N shocking indeed, for no speculations of this kind was heared before....not even a rumor was spread regarding Owen's transfer...n that to manutd...well nobody ever dreamt it even befor Sir Alex Ferguson proposed and finally completed this shocking transfer!!...

God Knows what instigated him for this tranfer!!

Probably, Karim Benzema's proposed move to the snobbish and capitalistic football club Real Madrid, came as a Shock to Fergie (hota hain!!), which led him to do such a shocking transfer, for he never had any shock (hindi wala) to sign Owen..!!

Or, Fergie quite intuitively took up the calculated gamble, knowing that Owen was a free agent and reports suggest his wage would be highly incentivised and greatly reduced from the astronomical fees he commanded at St James’ Park. So, from the business point of view, even if Owen doesn't mark up to the expectations as a striker of United, he wont be a big loss for the club. (Very clever!!!)

The crux of any gripes with United’s summer would appear to lie with the departure of two big players, Cristiano Ronaldo(Avaricious!!!) and Carlos Tevez. And thereby, Sir Alex was desparate to fill in the gaps in his squad...!!!...But 'Owen'??....Did he really deserve this signing?? Its true that it’s not a case of teaching an old dog new tricks, but the injury prone former Liverpool striker hasn’t enjoyed a memorable, prolific season in last four years. He scored only 10 goals for Newscastle Last season, and was fading away from the gliss and glamour he used to show in his game years back, when he was considered as a high esteemed striker!! So, the question lies, will he be able to match up to the speed, skill and rythm of other players of United at this point of time, for he is not in his shape these days!!

Well, its for the time to tell, whether Owen will be successful or not as a Manchester United striker, it’s undoubtedly a polemic issue!!

So guys, what do you think???......What plans ran in Fergie's mind that led him to sign Owen!!

While Europe’s top talents form a winding queue to be paraded before a backdrop of trophies, fireworks and giant screens at the Santiago Bernabeu, will Fergie's calculated gamble benefit United??..Will Owen prove the world once again that Ferguson is the greatest tactician of all times??...

OR,

Will Fergies reputation as the superb tactician fall apart?? Will the world, specially the Liverpool fans, laugh off Fergie's gamble??...Will Owen be a total loss??....Wat say guys??..
