Rafa could have said, "Yes if we sell Baros we would consider looking at Owen, however my priorities are CB and RWF right now".
Anyway, IMO Rafa doesnt want Owen. If Owen was in his plans and he truely wanted him the deal would be on and a transfer about to be completed.
But if the board forces him and there is pressure from the fans and Milan gets a good deal to go and zibbaddi zibbadaa then he might just accept it and get him.
The biggest block in all this will be Real Madrids asking price, last they said it was 16M .. I dont see them accepting less than 9-10-12 M.
Tough call.
Personally Id like him to come back to Liverpool, the fellow deserves to play week in week out and he is clearly 5th choice at Madrid.
Sad but true.
