Ace,
I know that Real Madrid were not iron-cast to win anything last season, all I was saying was that they are favourites or one of the favourites to win all the trophies they are entered for, so it seemed like a gravy train type move for Owen.
You raise a fair point on giving it ago aboard and to be honest, it's not the fact that he left us in the first place which has made me resent him, it's what happened last summer that has made me resent him. I just don't understand why he refused to give Benitez a chance and I bet he regrets the day he left.
Me might of lost his chance if he called Madrid's bluff but I seriously doubt it, Morientes was being messed around with by Madrid and called their bluff and eventually he came and joint us, Owen if he had a backbone and wanted to play for us enough would of held out ans signed for us. Also I seriously doubt he would lose his place under Sven. Beckham and Owen seem like Sven's favourites, so I doubt for a second he would exciled from the England Squad if he sat on Madrid's subbo bench for the entire campaign.
I agree it's disappointed the way that Owen has treated Liverpool but it's not surprising and it's not an unforgivable offence but it's a good enough reason to not want him back. And I hope he doesn't come back.
