I think he will stay at Newcastle to be honest. There is only Liverpool I can see him considering in the Prem above where he is at the moment.

I'd take him at United for £9 mil. Then buy another striker also.

I can't see him doing any better than Bolton, Spurs etc.

The lad's a goalscorer. Only problem I can see with the top teams not going for him is how he'd fit into their teams. technically he's not the best but he will get you goals... depends if that's to the detriment of the team play and others getting goals. At £9mil it's not a gamble though.

Well, I think he should ease himself back into it by going on loan to the mighty Iron all next season.

It was meant to be

If bellies are a measurement of club size then you are indeed a big club.

Sorry can you please remind me when you last won something?

To be honest I don't think Rafa wants him back


Fredie certainly knows how to keep his players motivated doesn't he

Agree that Rafa doesnt seem keen. As much as I'd like to see Owen banging in 25 goals a season for us, I trust Rafa's judgement.

As for Sheppard, the guys a complete moron. I'd love to see Own come out and say something like

" I was very happy at Newcastle, but after the chairman's comments this week, its plain to see that he doesn't want me here, so its with regret I'm asking for a transfer"

£17 million and 13 games for the Toon, not a bad return

He's ******* not going anywhere until he's had full season at least I'd say.
But unfortunately our chairman in a dodgy **** and has no ******* idea so will probably sell him at a loss and Owen will go on and do great things again.

Won't be doing anything great at the Toon except grow as weary as the fans

Because nobody will buy him out, or if they try eg paper rumours etc, nothing ever comes about but the share price goes up due to speculation.
Fat Freddy is a winner either way.

P.S Paul, no one at Chelski is fit enough to lick the **** off Owen's boots
Englands number one.

We need a centre forward because if Drogba gets injured next season who else we got because Hernan Crespo doesnt want to come back and that only leaves us with Andriy Shevchenko he could be gone be the start of the season anyway so 9 million for a proven goal scorer like Owen is cheap.
