Owen's lost it, says Whelan: He's too expensive and too injury-prone

Michael Owen's appetite for reviving his faltering career was doubted again yesterday when Wigan chairman Dave Whelan questioned his 'bottle' and claimed he may already have become a spent force. The former England striker's fall from grace during four injury-ravaged years at Newcastle was highlighted over the weekend when it emerged his advisers had circulated a glossy brochure to selected clubs in a desperate attempt to find any takers. There has been little response so far, amid growing concerns over his fitness record and £110,000-a-week wages, and Whelan was adamant Wigan would not be offering the 29-year-old a fresh start.
