The striker claims that he might hang up his boots if he doesn’t find a suitable club in the Premier League.
Owen, who started his career at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809, endured an injury-ravaged spell at Manchester United, from where he was released a few weeks ago.
Although still possessing an eye for goal, his obvious lack of pace and fitness problems became a major cause of concern for the Red Devils, as the forward was sidelined for most part of the season and when fit, had to be content with a berth on the bench.
Despite not getting many chances to impress Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson, the 32-year-old still managed to earn a name for himself amongst the club’s legions of fans, scoring a sensational derby winner against Manchester City.
His hat-trick against Wolfsburg was also another high point, but most of his time at the helm has been spent on the treatment table rather than off it.
As the Premier League giants refused to extend his contract, Owen was let go a few days ago and immediately stirred up interest from cash-rich clubs in the Middle-East. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Al-Shabab-c38361 were supposedly leading the race to sign him, but in the end curbed their offer
after considering the attacker’s age and track record.
Meanwhile, Owen has come out and claimed that he will continue playing at the highest level of English football and if doesn’t get any suitable contract on the table, that will mean the end of his playing days.
“If a good opportunity doesn't come my way then so be it. At this stage of my career it has to be something that I'm going to enjoy doing. Not being disrespectful when saying I wouldn't play in The Championship. Always said I wouldn't drop down the leagues
like some have done.”
“I know I can still bang them in at the top level. I proved that nearly every time I played for Manchester United. At 32, still got a few years in me,” he said.
Although no side have made a firm bid for the veteran front-man, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tony-c35440 Pulis’ Stoke City were allegedly interested in acquiring his services, but nothing concrete has been revealed as of yet by them or anyone else in the Premiership.
