Why do they just keep buying very good players, when they could buy excellent players with the near "unlimited" funds they have to spend with. I mean, they've just bid 24 million for Drogba, OK he is a very good striker, but, quite frankly, Chelsea could easily do better. Your views on this?

Owen hit his prime against Germany, been steadily going downhill ever since. :-D
And to think at one time Madrid were talking about spending 60 million quid on him

Owen, past it? Play Eidur Gudjohnson instead of him? Silence.
Just because Owen didn't score for a few games in Euro 2004 is no reason to write him off. He created 3 goals, and scored a superb goal. Rooney created none, scored a header knock-in, a basic one-on-one, a lucky bounce off the keeper, and a simple drive.
Owen still managed to score 14 in the Premiership despite having being injured for a good while and being under a lacklustre manager that didn't inspire him to play.
Rooney wasn't injured and still didn't score much. Admittedly, there's a difference between being supplied by a perfect Stevie pass or the Everton midfield, but the point remains: Owen is better than Rooney.

Wow, for once I find myself agreeing with Stryke. :P
Course you do. Next, we shall together argue the case of Stevie Gerrard being better than Patrick Viera :)
Har. :D
Don't laugh! I have only just discovered you are a fellow Red. We'll have none of this "Patrick Viera=best midfielder in the world" rubbish that Real Madrid seem to be spouting. Chelsea knew what was what, but Stevie shall never leave.
Especially after he lifts the European Cup thanks to a Salif Diao hatrick.

Salif Diao is one of those players that just went 'bleurgh' into the footballing void. hahahahaha.

He was crap. That's why I putting him down.

You can't claim the goal and an assist now can you....?
> and a simple drive.
That was a great strike. Just because he's from the blue side of Merseyside, doesn't mean you shouldn't give him credit when in an England shirt.

And how many chances did he miss? I remember one, where he hit the bar from 1 yard out...?
> but the point remains: Owen is better than Rooney.
Not currently. Owen used to be a genius. Now he is tame. That strike against Switzerland proved it. From the same positions, Owen passed it back to their keeper, and Rooney hit a great shot and scored....
