OWEN LATEST

Michael Owen could be a Real Madrid player before the day is out, say the Liverpool Echo. Rumours are rife that the England international striker is on the verge of sealing a move to Spain.

It's thought that Owen will be left out of the Liverpool team to face AK Graz in Austria this evening so that he isn't cup-tied for any potential buyers, meaning that Rafael Benitez will give Milan Baros and Djibril Cisse the nod in attack.

Madrid are thought to have made an offer of £10m for Owen, who has just one-year left on his current contract, plus either Fernando Morientes or Samuel Eto'o.

The Echo says that it is now down to Owen, although they haven't completely ruled out the possibly of him playing in this evenings' game

I'd prefer him to go now than to get no money at end of season. Adios. Players come and go!

yes but not for 10m more like 25m

if he goes now we have lost murphy and baros still like the look of barc do you think we might see a u turn by Steven Gerrard and leaves for Chelsea

frikkin hope not....lol....this could be the greatest week of our lives, or we could find ourselves ground sharing with everton, the midfield s combined would just about make a half decent one

Oh no - Michael Owen's just walked out of a hotel with his agent!

He must be about to sign for Real Madrid!

Get a f**king grip, people. The rumours were all over the papers today, so obviously they're going to read any old rubbish into pretty much everything he does today. And it's not as if hotels are the most exciting places to spend an entire day, let's face it.

Yes, players come and go! Owen has not continued the progress that took him to the point of scoring for England against Argentina. I think the new start should do him good and we can spare a forward. We now need another Sunness or Thompson in the middle of the park.

RAFA BENITEZ said some hours before the game against GAK that probably Michael Owen will NOT play tonight!

Oh man, what a turn of event. This is getting better and better as the day goes by. How many players do we have left???

by **Roger Red Hat** » Tue Aug 10, 2004 3:14 pm

it'll be a five a side match tonight!!

by **akumaface** » Tue Aug 10, 2004 3:16 pm

Are they playing survivor or something?

If he goes he goes, yes i'd miss him but, if were all honest we havent seen the best out of him for 18 months atleast, we have two dangerous strikers at the mo in Baros and Cisse, and Pongolle will also chip in. Lets face it he's always said he'd move at some point, he's never had liverpool in his blood. Morientes and 10 mill would make it easier to take.
