Liverpool Football Club - General Discussion

Michael Owen has promised Liverpool he will not leave them in the lurch by sitting out his contract and leaving on a free transfer after next season.
The striker, who has been linked with moves to Barcelona and Real Madrid, quashed talk of an early Anfield exit.

"We will sort something out amicably next summer," he told BBC Five Live. "I won't just up and leave on a Bosman.

"I have the rest of this season and all next left on my contract but talks have already started on a new one."

Owen did admit that discussions had been complicated, but said he was not about to cash in on his position.

  I am very ambitious and want to play at the highest level but there is now reason that can't be with Liverpool

"Inevitably, the talks are complex though and don't get done in just a week. But I certainly see myself at Liverpool next year. Why not?

"I'm not in football for the money. And that is largely what it means when players sit out their contracts and go for free.

"I've got a reasonable collection of trophies already, but I want more and that's the main thing in my mind.

"I read that the manager [Gerard Houllier] says he expects me to go abroad at some stage and I certainly would not rule anything out.

"I am very ambitious and want to play at the highest level but there is now reason that can't be with Liverpool."

Now thats the kinda thing we wanna be reading about :)

I still fear he'll walk on a bosman, make him sign a one year extension or sell him.

If he won't sign a one year extension it means that he plans to leave in 2005.

A player can alway say "i'm gutted" "heartbreak" etc and then sign for Manu a week later.

The Macca situation wasn't ALL Macca's fault and I'm not sure Owen meant him when he commented recently. What exactly did Macca cost us in terms of transfer fees ? Diddly Squat :p

MO has mentioned its not about money and I'm not surprised with his bank balance !!!!!!! Its about success on the field of play and it was encouraging for him to mention the trophies he has already won at Liverpool but the desire to win more and improve in the league and the prem. Thats why its always been about 4th then competing in the Title race and CL. Lets al lhope he realises his and all our ambitions WITH Liverpool :D

Thanks Mikey, I think all supporters are feeling a lot more optomistic . (about next season) '
I wonder if after the disappointment of this season we might at last be about to turn that corner we hear about.
Here's hoping
