Woodgate: Newcastle move good for Owen

Real Madrid defender Jonathan Woodgate says Michael Owen's move to Newcastle United will be good for both the club and player.
 
"It is not good for Real Madrid that he has left," Woodgate told Radio Marca, "but there are very good footballers here that can replace him."

"I am sure that he will score many goals for Newcastle and England at the World Cup."

"He knew that he was not going to play much and he had to leave. His transfer will be good for him. Newcastle are a great club, a sleeping giant who are going to wake up."

"Owen will verify that their fans are special and he will certainly enjoy himself."
