Owen may be out for season
Posted by thebeautifulgame on August 17, 2006
Well this is a bad news for the Newcastle fans . Michael Owen may miss the whole season because of the cruciate knee ligament damage he suffered during the World Cup match against sweden . This will be a bitter blow to Newcastle who already have shortage of strikers . With Alan Shearer retired and Owen out for season , they only have Amoebi and Luque as first team strikers .
Owen was the most likely man that could have taken the mantle from Shearer but now i think the responsibility will come on Shola Amoebi who is a decent player . With the transfer window still open i can see them going into the market to get a striker . But still i cant see Newcastle challenging for major honours this season .
