Be Warned Stoke Fans - Owen Is A Waste Of Money!

Stoke boss Tony Pulis is still hopeful of signing former Newcastle striker Michael Owen . even though he knows he won't get more than 20 games out of him. The 32-year-old is a free agent after being released by Manchester United this summer, although his wage demands could make it difficult for Stoke to do a deal. He is a "luxury player" who you cannot bank on to play more than two games on the trot. It could work at Old Trafford, where he was a player for the odd fixture, but do Stoke seriously need the hassle? Tony Pulis: "Michael hasn't gone anywhere and it's still a possibility. "There's still stuff happening and going on. Whether we can do a deal or not is another matter. "I've always said he's a good player and someone I think people in the club would like to have around. "He's a great professional as well and Crouchy has shown what great professionals can do for the football club."
