Mancs are only doing it to spite us and he's obviously desperate

exactly. Owen brought in to replace Tevez? :laugh:

He's slower than Jan Molby in a pie shop.

So are they mate. Most of their main targets have gone or will be going to Real. Ronaldo and Tevez out, Valencia and Owen in.

Lakes you are right, he is a talent and would undoubtedly grad the odd goal or two but LFC is no place for footballing mercenaries especially ones who have betrayed the club in the past.

If what his agent said is true, I for one am over the moon the enquiry was rebuffed by Rafa. Owen plays for Owen, the shirt he wears is incidental.

Do you not want players who feel it actually means something to wear the famous red shirt of Liverpool?

donr get me started on players that it dont mean anything to wear the Liverpool shirt, i could pick a load of our players for that one.

Players have left our club before and come back, the problem with him was it was down to asking us for too much money, in truth he was just asking for the same as other big players were asking, our club still pays some of our player low if you look at what other teams pay.

I hear what you're saying Lakes but there is one small flaw in your argument. The players who's disputed loyalties you are refering to were not a product of Liverpool FC. They were players draughted in and as such it is unlikely you will ever receive the same level of loyalty as a player who has learned his trade with us. There was an improved offer in line with the highest payed players at the club on the table 18 months before he left for Madrid but instead he ran his contract down and forced us to sell him for a fraction of hs real value.

I think we will agree to differ on this one but personally I feel in an era where Player loyalty is hard to come by Owen has sunk to new lows. just as any barcode fan. The sooner he progresses to his real desired occupation of race horse trainer the better.

Yes you do make a good point there about him being home grown.

I am not surew Bav id the last time Rafa tried to bring him back on how hard he did try.

Player will always leve the clubs to go and play overseas, its something they like to try and its hard to stop them, money was only a small part of why he left, Real are a big club and in trirh he would have been a fool not to give it a go, we did not stop Ian Rush when he said he would like to go and try over seas, he come back to us, yes he did not keep talking about us in the press but the press was not like that in them days.

very surprised. didn't know fergie is a fan of owen.
owen in a mancs shirt? mancs fans singing his name?

people are saying owen is a risk at 50k per week, but if he didnt work out
we can always sell him for 2-3 mil. beside u can make carra and gerrard happy. so where is the risk? couldnt really see it.

anyway u just dont help strengthen ur enemies like tat, even if it is a one-legged tiger, its like chelsea under the mourner, they signed players for their bench just to prevent us from signing them.

i hope we hijack the deal, which gives old fergie a paramount blow.

We were ready to offer 12Mil for him. David Moores was even going to finance the move himself out of his own pocket. He could have sat it out on the bench a little longer and come to us for cheap but instead he wanted to make sure he signed for a team in that window so he could secure his world cup place.

He is finished anyway so I don't know what everyone is getting excited for. Id be more concerned about who Rafa intends to sign not our rivals.

Do you actually support Liverpool ?

You spout so much shi.te its not true - I think your defo a closet Manc.

Liverpool have never said no to signing Owen in the past, so they cant possibly do it "again".

All you ever do is post negativity.

by **NANNY RED** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 10:17 am

i think i would of had more respect for him if he would of gone to the bitters , hes joined his mate now they can talk about once a blue always a blue but then you become a manc

by **dawson99** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 10:20 am

hes not with a club and gets an offer of CL football and a chance to win the league with the scum... who wouldnt take the deal hes getting?

by **SouthCoastShankly** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 10:21 am

Listen, I don't like the idea of him playing for them. But it's only as bad as when Ince signed for us.

I personally think he would of been worth a punt but Rafa thinks differently, clearly.

From a career perspective you can't honestly think he would turn down Man Utd based on rivalry when the only other club showing interest in him is Hull.

I don't blame Rafa for telling Owen to feck off, I would do exactly the same thing.

For the record I am glad Owen is going to the mancs, I hope he plays one game for them and then both his legs fall off. He is a complete c%&t with no passion for anything bar himself and I have zero respect for the boy.

Me and most people on this forum but then we actually have a sense of honour and integrity.

If I was him I would have gone to Rafa and publicly apologised for being a c%&t and screwing with LFC twice and I'd offer to play for £15k a week until I'd proved myself again. That way he would get champions league football and do a lot to repair his previous mistakes.

Behave will you. It wouldn't surprise me if we had said no to his agent. We were probably the first club his agent came to.
