    I've always thought Michael Owen was rather overrated, and it would seem that the top clubs agree with me. If he was really one of the best strikers in the world he would have made it at Real Madrid instead of languishing on the bench all season. Besides, according to this morning's news Real and Newcastle have agreed a fee, so if that's true then this whole saga can be over and done with.

    Souness is a god damn idiot, he moves into a club, buys a load of crap, and then leaves when they're in debt and the whole thing goes to <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif">. He can't manage to save his life, hence Newcastle finishing in 14th place last season despite having one of the best teams in the league. Michael Owne would be better off staying at Madrid, and as far as I knew Liverpool were going to make a bid to bring him back anyway?

    Whoever. I don't care that much about Owen, when he's on he's on and when he's off he sucks, but I just wanted to rant about Souness because he's an almighty tit.

    Third best striker in the world? Sorry, but I disagree with you SO much... There're at least 10 better than him. Well, that's only my opinion anyway, so please don't feel offended.

    I always considered Owen to be...a spoiled brat. He was overrated since he was, what, 16? No one can keep a level of quality when the pressure comes from so much time...

    Owen won't have much of a chance in Madrid from now on, anyway... Robinho's coming to it. (and if you don't know him by now...you will soon enough)

    Fine maybe 3rd best was exagerating but hes still amazing. I think hes a lot better than robino. Its the pace and the agility he can dance around defenders.

    Sure, and I respect your opinion silverpigeon97, but maybe I'm overestimating Robinho because I live in Brazil and see him playing at least once a week. I don't watch Owen playing often, but the same applies to you, because you've only seen Robinho playing for Brazil, not for Santos, I think. Again, I'm not trying to offend anyone.

    dont worry say what you want i dont give a <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif">, honestly do. But if you see Owen play at his best he is simply amazing. He can outpace anyone in the game, has a good shot and a good header. The fact that he scores a game n most games proves how good he is.

    He's a good player but he's been spoilt. Like Rooney IMO. If he's so desperate why doesn't he accept the offers?

    exactly.

    And it's all because of the authorities.

    they were a top 5 team 2 seasons back.

    Buut happens to almost every team.

    Ok everyone, Michael Owen has not joined Newcastle at the time of posting this, and in my opinion, he will not sign a permanent deal with them for all the reasons people have stated about Newcastle above.

    They lack success, ambition and a good manager. Owen needs to be involved in football at its highest level because he IS a world class striker.

    Sure he may be overrated, but who can honestly say there is a striker in the world that isn't overrated to some extent, by some factions, somewhere.

    Owen has the quality to succeed at Madrid, his goalscoring tally showed that. He was better than Raul last season, and eventually forced Luxemburgo to start him at the expense of Figo. Lets face it, you can't drop Ronaldo, the greatest striker in the world for me, and Raul, club captain and favourite son of the Bernabeu are unlikely to be dropped for a man who lacks the assertive qualities to demand to be played.

    Now the poor bloke has no chance at Real Madrid, not because of the quality of the players signed, I still believe he is the 2nd best striker on Madrid's books (counting Robinho as an offensive midfielder), it is the nationality of the players signed. Wanderley Luxembergo is doing what many foreign managers do. Wenger did it, Benitez is doing it, Houllier did it etc, he is surrounding himself with his countrymen and that makes it difficult, sadly, for an Englishman to oust 3 Brazilians and Raul.

    I believe that Michael Owen is in the top 10 strikers in the world. His goal record proves it. In the Premiership, he was second only to Thierry Henry in my opinion. Rafael Benitez needs his god damn head examined. That's coming from a Liverpool fan. Why spend £7 million on Crouch, when you could have Michael Owen for a little bit more. He is guaranteed 20 goals at least, and there aren't many strikers in the Premiership at the moment that can boast that.

    Wenger needs his head examined. Arsenal don't know what a tap in is! Owen would score tons of goals with the kind of service Arsenal's intricate plays provide. They lack a natrual goalscorer.

    Mourinho plays a formation that probably wouldn't suit Owen and Ferguson has enough good strikers already.

    I know this rant has become a little disjointed but I feel so angry for Michael Owen that he is in this situation. I would love nothing more for him to come back to Anfield and start showing these wannabes how to score a fricking goal.

    NEWCASTLE United today announced they had agreed a club record transfer fee with Real Madrid for striker Michael Owen.

    The Magpies have met the asking price and conditions of the La Liga giants for the England international, and it is now up to the player and his advisor to respond.

    A club statement issued to nufc.co.uk read: "Newcastle United have met Real Madrid's asking price and conditions.

    "The agreed fee will be a record transfer fee for Newcastle United.

    "It is now up to the player and his advisor."

    Liverpool wont pay more han 8m and Owen will have to have a big pay cut to go to Liverpool.


    No offense for what i said if you took it personally.
