Tom 14021 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 The papers know exactly what's going on at club. We are a club in crisis Alex, Keegan doesn't know what he is doing, Ashley is only looking for a profit after trying his best to rip off ignorant football fans, our attendances are at an all time low and quite frankly appalling and all our players want to leave the club. Add this to the fact we are penniless and nobody wants to come here and you can see the sky is falling in! Well according to the papers anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_4073588,00.html Newcastle United have offered Michael Owen a three-year extension to his current contract. Owen's future at St James' Park had come into question as he is in the final season of his present deal. Reports on Sunday had claimed that the Magpies were willing to sell the striker for as little as £2million before Monday's transfer deadline. But Newcastle have responded to the speculation by putting a lucrative new deal in front of the former Liverpool star. Reports suggest that Owen has been offered £120,000 a week in order to commit his long-term future to the Magpies. There had been previous claims that Newcastle wanted the England international to take a pay cut to stay, but he is now in line for a bumper pay rise. Owen has endured an injury-troubled time on Tyneside since joining the club in a £16million deal from Real Madrid three years ago. He has been restricted to just 50 appearances for the Magpies, however he has netted 22 goals during that period. The 28-year-old had missed the opening game of the new season through injury, but is looking to enjoy a sustained run in Kevin Keegan's team.

If Owen gets service he will score. It's a fact of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakehips 0 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 This has been going on for so long that shirley both sides know what the other wants/expects. If a contract is being put to Owen now it must be have been virtually verbally agreed beforehand?? It's a difficult one to call this one. To let Owen leave would have a massive detrimental effect on projecting a good image to the rest of football, however he cannot be kept on silly money just for the sake of it. I'm pro Owen as he's virtually the only (near) world class player we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never needed players anywhere like we need new players now Jonny ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
