Kristian Townsend, aged 21, of Draycott, who is a university graduate, said: "I think it's a good signing.

"I know some fans are questioning it, but he has had interest from a lot of clubs.

"I think it will help raise the profile of the club.

"We don't know a lot about the injuries he had at Manchester United.

"He could have been kept out of the team because of the other strikers at the club."

Trevor Oliver, aged 19, of Cheadle, a student, said: "If it is true that he is here on a pay-as-you-play contract then I think that is a fantastic deal.

"He has a great goal-scoring record and I hope that he can score some goals for us.

"Owen is a striker of real calibre."

Dave Williams, aged 47, of Meir Park, who works as a production operative, said: "Getting him on a pay-as-you-play deal is one of the best deals that Stoke have done as I was a bit wary about him coming here on a full contract.

"It's great to think we have a front two of Peter Crouch and Michael Owen. I never thought I'd see that when we were in the lower leagues."

Chris Slezak, aged 54, of Butt Lane, who works as a driver, said: "My feelings are mixed on Owen signing.

"He brings with him a lot of experience but he is getting on a bit now and that's the reason we have managed to get him here.

"I think he could be a success and I would like to see what he can do with Peter Crouch."
