I know a lot of people have a problem with him over going to Madrid and then going to the toon, but he did say that the pool were his first choice, and Liverpool wouldn't be held to ransom 16 million Madrid wanted rightly so,
But now with 12 months left to run on his contract i think a 5 million pound bid would secure the number 10 shirt off voronin
If Torres got injured who would u fancy to play in the system we play now, kuyt , voronin or crouch, or Owen
kuyt i like the lad does a OK job on the wing but has proved he ain't gonna cut the mustard as a number 9
voronin no chance looks good in a d&g trackie
crouch you love him or you hate him, he will always bring you goals. but for me he is a good sub, someone you can bring on and change the style of play if its not going your way. hasn't got the pace to play up on his own, holds the ball up well,
You could use Babel but he is unproven, and if Torres was out for a few months then i wouldn't want to bet on him filling his shoes ans scoring the much needed goals.
so we come to Owen, hasn't been injured in a while, and scoring again, he isn't the player we sold to Madrid but if u give him the ball in or around the box id rather have him over any one of our strikers bar Torres, don't forget he is playing in a
team, with the service of the Liverpool mid i think he would give us a good goal return and for 5 mill i think its worth the gamble------------------------------------------------------------
Is Owen Still Waiting For The Call From Liverpool?
Monday, 21st April 2008
Michael Owen once again refused to say if he was staying at Newcastle, and rumour in Liverpool is that he is STILL waiting for the call from his "spirtual home' at Anfield.
On Sunday post-match discussions were once again dominated by Owen and the proposed talks regarding a new contract.
The fact that Rafa Benitez confirmed he had Owen checked out for a proposed move last summer has sparked the Toon striker to believe he could return to Liverpool.
Benitez said he pulled out of an offer because Owen's injury record was a major concern. But Owen is back to full fitness and he is showing he is playing as well as ever.
The England international has still not given a definitive answer as to whether he intends to stay, although there are plenty of positive indications in his general behaviour, while Keegan is confident he will agree to become the long-term figurehead of the side.
Keegan: "I think he will he stay. He likes it here and we want him here. He is the most important signing we have to make. He is a key player, a leader who leads by example. I think the fans are seeing the very best of him and they like what they see. I'm delighted.
"It would be foolish to search the world for players and not keep the ones who are proven and have the character needed to play for a club like this. We have to keep the quality we have.
"The fans know a great player here. They like their heroes to get sweat on their shirts, like Alan Shearer and Peter Beardsley. Michael is no exception to that. If they don't like him now they never will. They had to learn to love him because of the games he has missed with injury, but I'm sure they won't have a bad word said about him now."
