I think it has gone too far down the line now. There is no way Owen can put pen to paper and extend his contract at Liverpool. He has made it quite clear he doesn`t want to play for us, by stalling on his contract.
He either signs for Real this week and put an end to it all, or, his agents find another club quickly.
Don`t hold your breath when he says he wouldn`t go on a bossman either. At the end of the day, he will be looking after himself and family, and if the Real move doesn`t work this time, you can bet your life if they offer a huge wage packet to go on a bossman he will.
If he does this, what do we do with Owen this season? Play him in the reserves all year?
