Well according to you nothing has changed so why would he want to come here.

Owen was not a victim, ashe knew what he was doing.He gave up on us so good riddence.

I can't recall the manager EVER playing two out an out 'play on the shoulder' front-men together in the same (starting) side. it's not his way, he likes one up or a 2nd withdrawn striker to play (cue Rafa favourite soundbite) "in between the lines". Therefore, we would likely never see Torres and Owen in the same side were he to sign him.

I disagree I think owen and torres would work really well together.

Torres just deeper then owen would work as torres likes to turn on ball and run at defenders owen likes just to be on end of moves.

So how could it not ? Remeber they are both really smart players and really smart players find ways to work together.

In fact I would be errr you not what in my pants if I seen them both on the team sheet.

Riena
Arba Carra Agger Insua

Masch

Gerrard Riera
Alonso

Torres
Owen

How would that team not get any one turned on hehe.

Am not saying I don't think they can play together, just that the manager would not play them together.

Well so apparently are Torres , Agger and Aurelio, should we wind down their contracts and get rid at the first opportunity ?

"He's a t'wat , shown f'uck all loyalty to LFC"

Not the first "legend" to leave us of his own accord, just two examples,

Keegan, left us after wining our first European Cup (now the CL trophy) went to Hamburg (go figure)

Dalglish left us due to stress ,(no problem there) and yet , eight months later came back into football to manage Blackburn.

I don't give a f'uck whether Michael Owen loves LFC or the people who post on this forum, what i can say is that if the price is right, to dismiss the idea of signing the fella purely on "political" grounds is f'ucking ludicrous. In footballing terms he's up there with the best , wouldn't be surprised if he actually plays more minutes of football this season than Torres.

Good post!

Even Rushie left and came back.

It's not impossible but can you really see Rafa going back on what he just said only a few weeks ago? Unless its a smoke screen to assure we get him without any hassle I cant see him changing his mind.

I used to like Tuncay was outstanding when he played for Fenerbache but hasnt seemed to do the same thing here , Saying that though Maybe with a different quality of team he could shine again . Very intelligent player

That Guttierez hardly ever gives the ball away - abit like Riera in that respect, and provides great width, can run with the ball and probably has a bit more pace than Riera. At times the final ball can be lacking, but he always looks a threat. Riera on one side and Guttierez on the other would give us great strength down the flanks.

As for Tuncay Nanny, I never saw him play at Fenerbahce to be honest. My opinion of him as a player is purely based on his performances in the Premiership. He always looks dangerous, has good feet, good movement, is creative and stands out in a dull Boro team imo.

by **tubby** » Mon Dec 08, 2008 10:25 pm

Didnt Guttierez just sign for them this season? Doubt he would leave so soon.

I would like to see owen back at the club, i like the romance that our club offers...its always a fairytail lol but seriously I feel owen could only add to our squad, whether he is hwat we should be spending the little money we will have on, i duno. I rather have some fullbacks who are p to speed with the rest of the team/squad even. we need a striker who plays like van nistle horse... just sticks away anychance from 10yards.... who is the current version of ruud or the up and coming version???

by **Zidane** » Mon Dec 08, 2008 11:33 pm

Owens, when healthy, is still a world class goal scorer even at this point in his career. I see him going to Chelsea but it would be nice if he came here.

your gettin on my nerves now, listen up whiston massive, Owen only cares about England, his people have started this sh1t because he cannot conduct his greedy little contractual business with anyone at Newcastle due to the current ownership situation. He demands massive wages-which he gambles- and spends 65% of his current career on the treatment table. He played his brinkmanship with Lfc a while back in order to reduce his transfer fee-increase his signing on fee and wage at our expense and he implied the move to real madrid was to win things ha fukkkin ha owen. He also anounced he would be perfectly happy to score against us. Basically Owen was annoyed that we love Fowler and not him, and thats because he wasnt good enough to lace Fowlers boots. good fukkin night.

Whiston massie :laugh:

BTW I agree with neil and Dundalk on this, I wouldnt want the self-centered one back.

I hear what people think about Owen, and to a large extent I agree with them (certainly the bit about the comparison with Fowler). These are unuaual circumstances though, where Owen could potentially be picked up for the best part of feck all, and where he might just be prepared to swallow on the wages.

Now there's a lot of if's in there without a doubt, but if we could pick him up for say 3-4 million and the wages were sensible I'd definately be up for it. If we don't sign Owen then it's my contention that we will need to sign at least one striker anyway, and I just don't see us picking anybody up of comparable quality for that sort of fee.

Now obviously if Newcastle come back and say "why aye mon we want 7 million quid for him like" then I'd feck it off in an instant. Similarly if Owen wanted 100 grand a week I'd pull the plug as well. At the right price though, we'd be crazy not to consider it IMHO.

A bit unfair that comparison, every player has a bad injury at some point. A fairer comparison would be Owen and Kewell.

You simply cannot compare what Owen achieved for the club with what Dalglish and Keegan achieved.

I for one do care, id like to think that anyone who pulls on the red shirt is going to make more of an effort to perform for the club and the supporters, not someone who is here to just make as much money as they can before they retire, in owens case especially, it wont be age, it will be because injuries have taken there toll.
