Is there a hull player with the same name as someone who's played for Inter Milan?
Nope.
The longer this goes on the worse the punchline will be
Just keep guessing matey.
LOL at the City fans getting their shirt signed
In all seriousness though he looks very happy to have signed for us

I win the google-off!

That BBC photo of Owen in a Man Utd shirt is like one of those optical illusion pictures, where things are all out of whack. No matter how many times I look at it, it just doesn't seem right. Like it's a bad photoshop or something.
In fact, can anyone prove to me right now I'm not actually asleep?

Wow, Michael Owen, theres a curveball!
Not the most exciting of signings for sure but I will give him the benefit of the doubt for now and hope he isn't the last player to come in this summer.
It's not surprising to see a lot of MU fans overreacting and criticising the club, SAF etc right now.
Certainly it is not ideal, losing such high profile players without having someone/s of similar allure to replace them.
But if players prefer to play elsewhere or if clubs are asking silly money for them, what can be done? And who are we to assume we know just who are really realistic targets, by way of them wanting to come here and their clubs being prepared to sell. Certainly the papers should not be trusted.
Better to not waste money and overpay on players like Ribery and Benzema etc who hardly seemed too keen on joining anyway.
This current situation is exactly why the average fan isn't paid to take charge of a football club, it would be too easy to see it as a game of FM.
So I hope we are patient and spend the cash on good signings, even if that means having to wait a little bit.
Although Alexis Sanchez looks pretty decent from my extensive scouting (3 minute youtube clip).
As it stands, I still feel we have a chance of winning something next year.
Our defence should continue to concede very few for one thing.
But as it stands our success will depend on certain players who could go either way (berba, nani, Anderson etc).
So too many variables to be confident but still too much potential to be too pessimistic

So, outside of Man U, Liverpool and Chelsea, is anything else happening on the transfer front?
Yes, Spurs will buy their obligatory 14 central midfielders that they buy each year
Fulham bidding for Peter Crouch at ~£10m
Baby Jesus shed a tear on hearing this.
Small sampling from the Beeb...
Can't see Sol moving to Newcastle unless he's worried about not playing much for Pompey next season... Crouch to AC Milan doesn't sound at all right.
