He's class and we need him. I'm sure this story is about as true as "Stevie 4 Chelski" was

All this "a good source" and "speculation's mounting" is the kind of thing that keeps rags like the Sun afloat, but there really shouldn't be any place for it here.
As far as I can tell, all that's happened is that talks have hit a stumbling block. This stumbling block is almost certainly related to the fact that the ball has been in his court for so long, and suddenly negotiations are at a stage where he has to commit one way or the other. If he signs prior to the GAK game, he will probably get a better deal than if he waits until after the GAK game, when his stock price will plummet in the event that he does play some part in the match.
It's really as simple as that. Barcelona and Real may well be keeping a close eye on matters, but I'm sure he won't have met officials from either. If he plays tomorrow, I expect this'll be on the back of some kind of agreement in principle related to his contract, and their interest will end.
If he doesn't play tomorrow however, this story will probably run for another couple of weeks or so. People are reading far too much into this, however, and I'm positive that he's going nowhere. Let's face it, one of the biggest names in world football is still to sign a contract extension - it's inevitable that this may be of interest to clubs on the continent. It'd be an insult to Owen if it wasn't.

Calm down everyone!!
I have checked Spanish Press and Real Madrid, I asked them if they hear about Michael Owen. They claimed that they havn't heard those rumour. And they think it is utter ****** rumour.

Tomorrow nights team selection and the appearance or non appearance of Michael Owen will certainly be of interest to every Liverpool fan.The suspense is of Hitchcock proportions.

I really dont think its a big loss selling Owen, Id rather play Cisse and Baros, I think Baros is a better player anyway, more direct and works more. plus he was top scorer in the Euros, so you cant deny him a place.
I think we'd get 20 million for Owen Realistically, which would be good for Benitez to bring some more quality in , 2/3 players say.
Although OWen has done a lot of things for LFC, he isnt "god" .
But we've had all this speculation before, Owen said he wasnt going anywhere. Realistically, I can see baros going first, if he doesnt get a game for the first 10 games of the season.
