This is the type of headline we need to see. We've never had a marquee player other than DeRo, and after 5 years of seeing a conveyor-belt of journeyman mid-level players on our forward line, we deserve it.

Owen is definitely past his best, but so are Beckham & Henry and they have made significant impacts on their MLS teams.

Despite never being a regular first teamer at United in his three years there, he always did the business and hit the back of the net when Fergie played him (in both Champions League & Premiership).

That said - even at 32, Michael Owen has a top strikers instincts and would score for fun against MLS quality defenders.....and we have never had a reliable goal scorer at TFC, EVER.

So come on TFC - you keep saying how much you value your fans, it's time to put your money where your mouth is and get us a player we can get excited about when the teams run out at BMO.
