Owen Cost £40.5m - The Biggest Waste Of Money In Toon History?
Central defender Curtis Davies: "I am sure Michael Owen doesn't need revitalising by any manager. I am sure Michael Owen, if he goes somewhere, keeps fit and plays games, is going to score goals.
"He is that good a player. Unfortunately this season, just as he started to hit form, he got injured again and hasn't managed to put a run of games together.
"I'd love to see him here at Villa if that was an opportunity, although at the same time there will be other clubs sniffing around him.
"People will say about his wages but, if you are getting him on a free transfer, it offsets that.
"If we are ever in the running for a player like that, it will show the progression of this club and hopefully we can get someone like that."
