Geremi: "He's a great striker who scores goals.
Owen Likened To Spanish Giant
"Michael's different to Drogba. He's someone who is always looking for spaces to run into, whereas Drogba is a fighter. He's the same player as Raul.
"Both are similar, playing the game the same, he's someone who is always running the defensive line and he can smell goals.
"Both are similar, playing the game the same, he's someone who is always running the defensive line and he can smell goals.
"We've seen that. He's not a big player, but he scored with his head because he reads the game so well, he knows where to expect the ball, he loves to score.
"I'm playing with some great players here at Newcastle and Michael Owen's among them. The first goal (Owen scored against Barnsley in last week's Carling Cup second-round tie) was important for him.
"Once he got that goal, I always thought others would follow on and he has continued his scoring run (against Wigan).
"It's not just about Michael Owen, though. As a team we're getting better and better. We hope we will continue to improve and get more good results as the season progresses. But his goals will be important to us if we are to do that."
