Has anyone seen this cr*p - Owen to arsenal

Liverpool Football Club - General Discussion

Postby ckay » Tue Apr 27, 2004 2:14 pm

This was in the Daily Mirror and on numerous web sites.

True or False? ???

ARSENAL are ready to offer Michael Owen a title-chasing escape route from Liverpool in a £12million bid to strengthen their Champions League challenge for next season. 

Gunners manager Arsene Wenger believes the England striker will be tempted by the prospect of being part of a free-flowing front-line, in contrast to the lone forward role he plays at Anfield.
 
Owen has just over 12 months left on his contract, although Liverpool say talks have begun about a one-year extension.
 
Unless agreement is reached, they risk Owen leaving for nothing when his existing deal runs out.
 
Wenger is ready to step in and his £12m bid would certainly interest Owen, who has 16 goals this season despite being hampered by injuries.
 
It is known he has doubts about Liverpool's style of play under Gerard Houllier, feeling it asks too much of him.
 
Wenger's side play a quick-passing, fast-flowing game that would appear ideal for Owen, and Arsenal are convinced he would relish the prospect of playing alongside Thierry Henry, Robert Pires and Patrick Vieira.
 
More pressingly, the 24-year-old wants to be at a club challenging for the biggest prizes, rather than one hoping to clinch the fourth Champions League qualification spot.
 
Real Madrid's interest has tailed off in recent months, and it seems Barcelona would only turn to him if other targets reject them.
 
Wenger has never tried to hide his interest in Owen, saying recently: "He's purely a goalscorer. He has the patience of a hired killer.
 
"It's difficult to say if Thierry and Owen would be a perfect partnership, but I know Thierry could play with anybody."
 
Owen had always said he wanted to help bring championship success back to Liverpool, but he is ambitious and aware that is unlikely at Anfield.

if Owen refused to sign a contract, we would put him up for sale in the summer and get £20 25 million from Bacalona or Real easy

The Gerrard and Terry to Aresnal is more worrying. I think Terry would go but the day Gerrard is sold to the a#se is the day i have to consider moving to america and follwing baseball!

I know Becks never went to another Premiership side- but who could see him leaving Manure under any circumstances or anyone?

It's ironic that there are teams/clubs doing to us what we did to them for years and years. Namely the fact that they use their success as a means of 'cherry picking' all the talent from other teams.

chelsea aren't even using success to pick players though. what have they won? they just offer everyone more money. scott parker is the prime example. he left charlton when they were 4th to join chelsea, where he knew he wouldn't play every week.

unfortunately, in this day and age when the big clubs come knocking on the door for a player in a lesser team, they are powerless to stop them leaving. every player has ambition, but loyalty means nowt anymore. everything is motivated by greed.

It also looks like Becks is on his way to Chelsea also to be joined by Ronaldo.

This was on the sky sports web site.

Yeh, I'll concede that. I neglected to mention that that old chestnut of cash had to come up. That's always been there and will never go away. Thats one of the reasons why so many of todays big players will want to play in London-soon.

If Owen feels he wants o progress elsewhere and his heart's not at Anfield, then we should jus let hm go...
From the cash received, we could get one decent centreback (Kevin Hofland? Mexes) and probably a playmaker (Van Bommel) as woith the arrival of Cisse and with Baros, Pongole not reaching their peak yet, the front-line seems alesser problem that the defense....
