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.

Galactico, thats Sky Sports News' favourite word at the moment
aarrggghhhhh
Now he's playing in an attack minded side which suits him perfectly, but yeah 8M is criminal.
Hopefully it'll put an end to the "omg oWen is russbbish but he used 2 be good, rubbis now" nonsense.

Worse still, Real get his "Image Rights". That basically means that they'll earn about £30mil(before this season has even finished) in shirt sales.
We didn't we do that!!!
Liverpool to finish no higher than 6th place.

It'll never stop until he scores 2 wondergoals against Argentina, and then completes the hatrick by somersaulting over Walter Samuel's head and backheeling it into the net from the halfway line.
Then Owen 10 England shirts will reappear and people like Ashley and lalakersrule will be all "i always liked him, honest, see, I've got an Owen tattoo."
