In business negotations, everything is black & white. Even if Owen promised that he would sign, the board should have made sure he did. Instead, they believed him, waited, waited & waited. Now they are paying the price.
Well at least they have signed the "new god" gerrard to a contract. Because of this, i shall not be too harsh on them.
yeh but tht was diffrent gerrard was a scouser and had already signed a new contract and wanted to challenge for the title and bring in diffrent players. and owen has no love for the club who gave him his chance at stardom 50k in the bank every week plus the fact he already has hes own street and hes held the club to ransom .bye evetonian good luck training with the reserves commintment my ****** good look warming the bench

How do you know that Owen doesn't love the club? He's been here for 13 years, unless you're Owen himself or somebody close to him then your post is pointless though it is your opinion.
his action staling on a contract knowing we have to sell him or he could sign a pre contract elsewhere in january the ball was always in owen court not giving benitzes a chance.

If Owen leaves, he will be a sub and wouldn't it be something if Diouf score more goals than Owen this year because it seems Diouf cost more than Owen now lol:p
Yeah, that's the question. People speculate for commercial purposes only such as increase in jersey selling and advertising fees etc. Ronaldo and Raul is definitely going to start. Raul is the captain and he is not going to take a backseat to Owen. As for Morientes, he had proven himself as a very good striker in Li liga and it would be tough for Owen to get many games. I think REal miscalculate because not many people would buy the Owen Jersey if he is moved to Real. For one, I think lots of English fans would be turned off. I for myself would be getting a Cisse, Alonso, Garcia or even Nunez jersey instead.
If Owen leaves then I am getting a Gerrard jersey for sure but like you said Raul and Ronaldo will start for sure, plus there is Figo and Morientes. So Owen will be screwed if he goes to Real.
