"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.

8 Million - That must be the steal of the century! Im really disappointed he's gone but Im looking forward to seeing Baros and Cisse upfront. We will miss him thats for sure but we will cope! COME ON YOU REDS!!!!!

How many times does this need to be repeated?

He's so nice to us, helping us in our neverending quest to know as much about football as him.

I wish I was Vampyr. Who's with me?

Just as a point of interest - does anyone know how much they'll be paying Owen? Is he on a galactico wage? (and how much is that? £100,000 a week?)

Ive heard he will be on £100,000 a week

He'll be on 65k a week; he would have got 70k a week at Liverpool if he signed his 2-year extension.

He's taking a cut, he'd have got more at Liverpool I think.

I dont think he would care to much about an etra 200g over 2 years, pocket change.

Can't believe Owen's actually gone. Looks like Sven will have to get a Real Madrid season ticket.

So he's not, technically speaking, a galactico? That's gotta smart.
