Owen?

[never walk alone TPK]

I was reding the sports news in AOL where i found this link,give it a read
http://channels.aolsvc.co.uk/sport/article.adp?id=20050824025409990008

If the link does not work the information in the link is:
Newcastle have agreed a club record transfer fee with Real Madrid for England striker Michael Owen.

The club's current record fee stands at the £15million paid for Alan Shearer in 1996.

"Newcastle United have met Real Madrid's asking price and conditions,'' said a Newcastle statement on club website www.nufc.co.uk.

"The agreed fee will be a record transfer fee for Newcastle United.
"It is now up to the player and his advisor.''

Earlier, Owen, 25, only declared himself willing to spend a season on loan at St James' Park, if his preferred option of a return to Liverpool failed to materialise.

He said: "I said that my ideal situation was to start the season in the Real Madrid team and if not I would prefer to return to Liverpool.

"The president understood and said he would try to help me achieve this. If the transfer cannot be finalised in time I have agreed to go to Newcastle United but only on a one-year loan. I need to be playing regularly in World Cup year.''


I certainly do not know if this is a reliable source but surely does owen really want to join newcastle if this deal goes through.

They seem to think it'll flush out Liverpool.

"One myth that can be dispelled is there's never been a difference of opinion between Rafa and me. We're just keeping our counsel.

"There's some work to do and it's a few days before the deadline so we'll see."

Don't fret, mate-- it's not a question of being thick. The mods, if they take heed and belive it is appropriate, will merge the threads. Have a Tusker on me, in the meantime ;)
