Joey Barton On Twitter Now [Michael Owen At His Peak Was Our Greatest Ever Product]

[M.O.G.]

Just reading his timeline, basically saying at his peak Michael Owen was the greatest player we produced.

@Joey 7Barton

What's your thoughts?

[Mr. Jefferies]

Gascoigne
Robson
Shearer
Charlton
Scholes

Or do you mean Liverpool?

Nah, England

[Mr. Jefferies]

Well he's wrong imo.

Even Linekar was arguably better.

[Tony Starks]

Rooney>>>>Owen and hes arguably not even at his peak yet

[M.O.G.]

Owen was good, but there's at least 10 strikers i'd put above him and that's not counting mids/defenders etc

Edit: Maybe not 10 but there will be a few above him

[MyLord]

wait...
























































no heskey?

[Xtra P]

Nah, England

I can only think of Shearer and Linekar off the top of my head.

Fowler and Cole couldn't do it for England for whatever reasons. Owen was a top 3 striker at his peak, Ballon d'Or runner-up too.

Rooney>>>>Owen and hes arguably not even at his peak yet

I think he has peaked you know, his fitness looks terrible these days. Maybe he's burned out from playing 40-odd games a season since the age of 16 or maybe it's just cos he smokes.

Didn't he win it?

nah mate, i'd call it even, theyve both had good competitions for england but both flopped (n/h) in big comps too. owen in important matches tbh>>>>>

imo no 'product' other than gerrard has lived up to their full potential since the mid 90's, fowler, cole, owen, lampard, ferdinand ect

[Mr. Jefferies]

Didn't he win it?

Yeah actually thinking about it now, he won it in 2001. I got confused with Beckham. I knew one of them was runner-up.

[Parrr]

if owen stayed in england and never got injured >>>>>>>>>

ohwellll

Rio?

[Jonás Gutiérrez]

Rio?

yeah, obviously he has been one of our best cb's in the last however many years, but never really seemed to get the ratings he deserved when playing for england

[Clive Eboue]

Barton is gassed but Owen on top form was a frightening asset to have, used to end defenders careers lol

[The Enigma]

Rooney is past his peak imo.

[chris89]

Rooney is past his peak imo.

[EA]

If Barton was saying that Owen is the best striker that England ever produced, I'd agree with him but in terms of ability, I'd say Scholes & Gerrard are ahead of him.

Rooney is past his peak imo.
