Today's papers are reporting that Liverpool have negotiated first refusal on Michael Owen if he decides to leave the Bernebeau. Makes me even more certain that the club have done the right thing at the right time in selling Owen. I for one would love to see him develop out in Spain and return to Anfield a more complete player one day.
Who know's...If Nunez becomes a superstar then you might see Real Madrid offering us £8 mill and Owen for him in a couple of years!!!

Just hope he can come back from abroad and be as good as when he left (but with new enthusiasm) just like Ian Rush :cool:

sorry for being a bit ignorant, but was owen included in recent CL madrid team? I reckon not so, if he wasn't anybody knows the reason?

didn't he sign too late for that, he CAN play in the CL proper though

nobody has reponded to my question

yea i did,

sorry i wasn't too clear.

Owen wouldn't have been in Madrids squad, as he signed too late to play in the qualifiers (remember he sat on the bench in our first game in Graz) but he can play from now on so i'm sure he will

Ithink its time we forgot about owen, and look to the future, we wont need him back we will have moved on significantly by then (hopefully?) :glare:

Brings back memories if the Rushie deal. Dalglish sold him to Juventus for £3.3 million in '87. During the following season he phoned Rush weekly to see how he was getting on. When the opportunity came he bought him back for £2.8 million. £500,000 was a huge profit 16 years ago especially when you consider we still won the league during Rush's venture abroad.....10/10 for Dalglish's man-management IMO.

Only joking.. depends how he does out there... wouldn't want to pay him the £100k he was trying to negotiate out of us.. as we are not a s gret as "REAl" we'll pay him less then they're paying now...
