"It's all going so very wrong"

Owen is apparently going to Real Madrid. One of the best strikers in the world. Our most valuable player apart from Gerrard.

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.

and smith.

It did where Owen is concerned. He dithered far, far too long over signing a new contract and that was while Houllier was still there.

And not to put too fine a point on it I'm really quite pleased that he has gone. I know, I know, I shouldn't be but I can't help it. I was never enamoured with him and not for any true reason could I tell you why. I just never was.

personally i think he is a bit too goody goody. aside from that gambling problem.

Bet you're wishing your lot accepted that 60 million pound offer from them a few years back that was being talked about eh? :-D

Not really, he aint or wasn't worth 60m either

Well i know he was nowhere near worth that much and although it was the tabloid rags that were talking about it if it was in the least bit true i bet there's a few Pool board members kicking themselves

...It's all gone so very wrong.

But at least we haven't sold Hamann. That's a blessing.

Being Senegalese, you wouldn't think so, would you?

But you knew that, didn't you.

Just testing us.

Keeping us on our toes.

Why not most of the french team are from there anyway :-D
