For £8 million. £8 million.
Let me put this in context for you. Louis Saha went for (how much was it?), £11 million? Alan Smith was nearly £8 million. £8 million is being touted for BEATTIE. Jeffers went for about that.
£8 million. This is ridiculous. Oh, I know we're supposed to be getting some rubbish Madrid sub midfielders in the bargain(Juanfran and Antonio Nunez) but it means nothing to me. I don't want Mikey to go, but if he does go at least let's get £20 million.
£8 million. This shocks me.
Oh, let's make matters worse. The Vieira deal appears to be stalling. Not only is one of the dirtiest players left in the Prem, but Real Madrid will now go looking for the next best thing. And that is?
Xabi Alonso. He's our player, you dirty Madrid toenails. Hands off, we bid and it got accepted. But no, you saved a ton of money by paying Beattie rates for Owen, so you'll probably outbid us for him.
But it's OK! We've got Juanfran and Luis Garcia!
Bloody hell. And Maniche isn't even coming to the Premiership and all. And Hamann will still be first-team.
It's all going so very wrong.

Hurray.
But you lost him too, heh.
£8 million for him now is better then a free transfer in 8 months time and Benitez obviously has plans for the team that work just as well without Owen.
Once the rumours started it was obvious he was going. It was just a case of where and how soon. I wish him luck and happiness and hope that the piles he'll get from warming the bench do not cause him too much discomfort.
wow zizou finally retired from france. big loss for them eh? who u reckon will replace the master? .... aliou cisse?
If Mikey goes - he faces the ultimate penalty. Being removed from my Top 5 footballers list. He shall be shunned everywhere he goes. I've always liked Baros (Shut up, I have, he was good before Euro 2004, I had him in my fantasy team from the start), so he could push for a place.
I'm not depressed about Liverpool's chances. If anything, I'm more upset about Alonso possibly going to Madrid.
We shall miss you Mikey. You dirty benchwarmer. Think you're better than Ronaldo? Heh. You're better than Raul, though. They gonna drop their captain, rolemodel and most popular player? Heh. You've got to battle with Morientes to be 3rd choice. Lack of action means Sven won't be happy, and you think you can be a regular for England with Vassell and Defoe playing week in week out?
He's got to live with that choice.
