Large pinch of salt to be taken with each glance on a back page tabloid article!

Yeah might be a rumour, might be true, I think we need to open our eyes that their is a possibility Owen could leave and if he did it would be for a foreign club and with Barca and Real bigging two of the biggest clubs abroad this could be possible.

I agree that alot of paper talk is *****, like the story about Gerrard leaving Anfield but the Owen situation is a little more believable  ???

BBC News

"Owen, 24, only has one year left on his current £60,000-a-week contract and would be free to negotiate a Bosman-style free transfer away from Anfield.

He has already been linked with moves to Real Madrid and Chelsea this season..."

I'm keeping an open mind cos I said McManaman would sign but he didn't and I also thought the Beckham thing was rubbish this time last season but look where he is now  :(

i dontt hink owen would walk off and leave us for nothing, that could eb why he is gonna leave this summer for money!!! More than likely he will stay but we gotta be prepared that there is a good chance that the guys gonna go and try to get the assistance he craves from us so much elsewhere

Might just be Owen's agent letting these rumours slip out. Agents use speculation to get the players better deals.

I think he'll sign

if we finish 4th i have absolutely no doubts that michael owen will sign a new deal. no 4th means no michael owen imo. that is why the birmingham game is massive. win it and we would most likely only need a draw against the toon on the last day.
