DanTheMan 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Owen will score loads of goals this season and help us stay up. Then at the end of the season post-World Cup, a 'bigger' club would come in for him and recoup our money. I can really see it happening, and Toon just being a stop-gap. Anyone else get that feeling?

snakehips 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Right now, I don't see any point in worrying about him going anywhere. He will do everything he can to score goals for us whilst he is here, which is all I ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 If he gets us into Yurop it would be worth all his wages we have to pay this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagpole corner 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 He won't move back abroad anytime soon. Part of the season he wanted to come home was he (as in his family) couldn't settle abroad and his partner desperately wanted to move away from Madrid. He had to live in a hotel for the first 3 months last year with a baby child. They weren't happy. And the only club he'd want to join in this country is Liverpool and it's doubtful if a) Benitez can be arsed going through the whole circus surrounding him, for the 3rd succesive year He is nobby enough to shit on Newcastle unless you have a really bad season You've got nowt to worry about.

Infact at the start of the pre-season USA tour Owen was confident of signing a new contract. Rafa couldn't be arsed with it and called Owen's bluff and made sure the transfer was completed in 5 minutes so he had time and money to fund Alonso and Garcia before the deadline. But everything I've heard and read is that the two parties left on more than good terms, we had a "first-option" clause put into his real contract (doesnt mean much though) and for the last 4-6 weeks we've desperately been working together (LFC & Owen) to make a move back to Liverpool possible but Real weren't interested in cutting the asking price and Owen didn't want to gamble by waiting till January. But by keeping in touch with Newcastle as a "last resort" he basically blew our plans out of the water as Real knew he was desperate to leave for somewhere. If he has any regrets about not joining Liverpool (and although I dont think he regrets it as such, I think he was very dissapointed) he has only himself to blame.
