Optimistic Nut 31 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 IMO, this proves last year's Rooney bid was no PR stunt. It's pretty obvious this is just that money, but thankfully Man U weren't on the scene this time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 From Rob's link : But BBC Sport understands Liverpool, who play Newcastle in the Premiership on Boxing Day, have not given up hope of luring Owen with the transfer deadline at midnight on 31 August the cut-off point for any last-ditch move. ??????

Barney 0 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Christ, I hope not. Roy Keane did that to Kenny Dagleish at Blackburn. He got a last minute phone call at home from Fergie saying "Have you signed anything yet", Keane replied "no, but I've given my word". Fergie insisted that Keane just come up to Old Trafford before signing anything, any he stayed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 In the time Souness has been here he has had more than enough money from Shepherd, more than most managers could dream about so he has no excuse there, though to be fair to Souness he has said himself Fred has backed him.
