I firmly beleive that Liverpool are not prepared to buy MO for 17m +.

Fat Fred will not be letting his record signing leave after just one year for one penny less,i can assure you of that,so dont get your hopes up son

BUT... cisse,carragher and alonso swap deal should convince me joke.

Freddie Sheppard was interviewed recently and the guy asking the questions repeatedly asked if there were any clauses in Owen,s contract and Sheppard repeatedly avoided the question .

There is someone on RAWK (top site ) who is very much in the know about all of this , and is quite firm in the view that there are a number of clauses regarding price depending where Newcastle finish in the league .......i.e. if you make it into Europe or not .

Also i thought you should also know , according to some guy called the mole on KrapTalk , Owen hates it at Newcastle and has his agents making overtures to Liverpool which is probably why Benitez is saying publicly that he would be happy for Owen to come home as its not technicly "tapping up".

If you lot dont finish in the top 6 this year , and lets face it "son" , most people doubt it ( thats all the people in England apart from that little part in the north east) ,Owen is coming home IF Raffa wants him AND at the price we offered Real Madrid .........thats more of your money wasted by fat Freddie ,but then again the fat B@rstard has been laughing in your face for years .........remember that expose about how he laughed about you lot been charged 40 quid a shirt when it only cost tuppence to make ? ?

Freddy Shepherd is a disgrace and the fact that he is STILL the Newcastle chairman says it all.

The Newcastle fans have been severely short changed the past 40+ years

Totally agree Effes , ok some of them have come on here acting smug about Owen etc , but you have to have respect for them , they are fanatical about Newcastle regardless of having a scumbag of a chairman.

I think that Sheppard bought their silence by spending the amount he did in the summer (40m+) and to placate them after the mistake of sacking Sir Bobbie ( true gentleman of football ) and replacing him with Souness ,a Liverpool legend as a player but a disaster as a manager where ever he has been .

I think Sheppard thought that he could "do a Leeds" by buying big but doing it successfully ,unfortunatley the long suffering geordies will remain long suffering as i honestly feel Newcastle will not make it to Europe as they have a woefull defence , an incompetent manager , and now a very large overdraft

joaquin will never go to newcastle,the barcodes live in some deluded state of hypocrisy,they spout endlessly from the chairman all the way down to the fans that they are a massive club but in reality they are just a underachieving trophyless club from the northeast with fanatical fans

He is not a legend if stevie had have gone to Chelsea he wouldnt be a legend either. No one is saying he hates Liverpool here either.
The fact is he left liverpool to win the Champions League, and has not won a trophey since, and will NOT win anything at the barcodes.
I dont hate MO I would have loved him back, but Michael Owens number 1 priority is England NOT Liverpool and certainly NOT Newcastle.

I think it's crazy to expect a player of Owens calibre to not be focused on getting to play on a world stage which comes around perhaps 3, maybe 4 times in his life. Of course that it where his focus is and rightly so.

I was never his biggest fan, but thought that we desperately could have done with him back. Like most I was extremely disappointed at his exit from Liverpool and think that the advisors had just a little too much influence on him. Look how they almost talked Stevie out of everything he ever wanted for the sake of a quick buck.

The article, as usual with Owen is extremely vanilla and non-commital. I long for the day where we get a tabloid scandal with him in it, roasting with Christopher Biggins or snorting coke out of a whores backside just so that we get the taste of him being a real person, rather than this 'role model' image that he perpetuates.

Looks like Owen really wants to come back to the GREATEST CLUB IN THE WORLD :buttrock

......

what do u guys think ? Should we take him back ?...For me, yeah..i will take him back.

Owen/Crouch or Owen/Moro will be an awesome combo....

Cisse to go to inter for 7 million. So i think 7 million + josemi + traore + Diao (lets face it newcastle need all the defensive help they can get) for owen in the jan window

Owen: Rafa's no liar, he did want to sign me

Newcastle striker Michael Owen says Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez did want to sign him in the summer despite some claims by the media to the contrary.

It didn't happen though because of Liverpool's refusal to pay Real Madrid £16million for a player that was allowed to leave on the cheap a year earlier. And although Owen ended up at Newcastle, it's no secret that he regrets leaving Liverpool in the first place.

Owen said: "I never wanted to leave Liverpool as I was always happy at Liverpool. Only one club in the world could have tempted me away and I wanted to see what it was like, just to do something different.

"If Madrid hadn't of come in, I would probably have been at Liverpool for all of my career.

"It was strange because even when I was out in Madrid I still felt as if I was a Liverpool player. It was a strange feeling. I was still talking to the lads, it was still my club.

"Loads of things get misinterpreted, misquoted and whatever else it might be. But I can assure you that if you you sat in the meeting I had for about 3 hours with them (Liverpool) the day before deadline day, Rafa wanted me to sign for him and if it hadn't been for Madrid I'd be at Liverpool now.

"If I could have gone anywhere when I left Madrid it would have been to Liverpool but it didn't happen."

I'm sorry but leaving LFC and moving to another club will always be a step down imo.

Its that time of the year...when we have to forgive & forget rite :eyebrow

I don't buy it. He had a year to extend his contract with us. He used execuses such as ''my agent is on vacation'', and countless times he stated that he was close to signing a contract and that he would probably do it. Up until early August when Madrid came knocking and he ran off.

Despite scoring goals at Madrid, he found himself on the bench week in and week out. He left Madrid because he was afraid that he would lose his spot on the English international team. So he had a choice between us and Newcastle at the end, he joined Newcastle.

But why? Reason being is that Owen once again was afraid that his spot for England would be at risk. He didn't think that we could agree on a fee with Madrid, so he jumped to Newcastle as they agreed with Real. Basicaly he played it safe due to the English international team.

It seems that England is frst and everything else is second.

most of us would take owen back in a second thats for sure if i was a betting man i would say by next summer he will be a liverpool player again i would nearly put my life on it :;):

by **azriahmad** » Thu Dec 29, 2005 3:31 am

Guys, leave him be. As it is, he's already regretted leaving and surely now has seen first hand how much Liverpool have improved. If he plays alongside Crouch, he would be the leading scorer in the EPL already, even though he does not play in every game due to his injury problems.

by **Sean** » Fri Dec 30, 2005 2:55 pm

Owen considers the english national team as being his priority, thats for sure. But he'd guarantee us 20 goals a season.
