Michael Owen

[crack-off!]

GET IN!

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

I can\'t believe it ,and boy do we need him !!!

[jonny_mc]

Great Signing, Fantastic

[bribones]

great news but he was a bit reluctant to come so are we gonna get 100%

[eddie]

as said , when he turns around and says , well if liverpool dont want me THEN ill go to newcastle???????

[sless]

he has only signed to secure his england place
simple as that

\"...... are we gonna get 100%\"

He\'s a pro.........he\'ll give 100%.........it\'s in his own interests to do so.

[Davyred]

Signed to get 1st team football so Sven doesn\'t kick him out with Defoe waiting in the wings. If he has a good world cup, his value goes up and the big european clubs (not a dig) come knocking at his door again.

There\'s rumours of a release clause in his contract.

[Oblickta]

Seems like NUFC need him and he needs NUFC.......I just hope it all goes according to plan

I bet there a few clauses in his contract Davy.
Shepherd has his faults like most Directors/chairmen which we all know about but he has always made cash available for every manager thats been there,I think alot of people think its his own money but there alot of wheeling and dealing with Sponsors,IMO I think a major sponsor has put the money up for Owen.He would be a squad player at Liverpool and Real if he stayed,he\'ll be first on the teamsheet at Newcastle and will be a massive Star in the area,the same as when Shearer came to Newcastle,they will probably recoup most of the money with Merchandise sales and sponsors

I think the majority of footballers are mercanaries these days, even
Sir Alan had a clause in his contract to say he\'d always be the highest earner at the club, no wonder he dashed off with fat freddie to meet Michael.

did he really say that or is that what the papers said ?

[Tat]

It appeared as a quote on sky t.v

It seems he he would have gone to the scousers,but they would\'nt guarantee him 1st team football every week
