Another thread on Mikey, true. But I have to keep my hopes up. Losing my favourite 'Pool striker is a blow that can only be softened with the return of the only 'Pool player I have loved more than him. Mikey is on his way back - that's what The Times seems to think:

Read that in my paper this morning before my run, and then amused myself by thinking of Mikey while running (not in a gay way).
Stevie says he'll talk to him in the England training camp. No-one can turn down Stevie. No man, no woman.

And yet again I make the mistake of reading an overlong Oswaldo post that just repeats things already said many times over. Promised myself I wouldn't do that again.
And JFH - he won't. No chance. Souness says move, not loan. Owen says loan, not move.

He's holding out for a Liverpool move that's never gonna happen. Not this season. Not right now.
It seems he's stalling on a permanent move to Newcastle. His long-awaited lifeline, back to the Premiership. ...Who can blame for not wanting to join the Magpies on a long-term basis, eh! Sadly for him, it's the best damn offer he's gonna get, unless he wants to find away in the mist of Madrid.
I think Newcastle are crazy to paying that sort of money for Michael Owen anyway. It's reported to be of around the £17-18m mark - higher than the £15m they payed for Alan Shearer anyway.
No disrespect to the player himself, at all, but when he left Liverpool, whether his contract was running out or not, Real only gave Liverpool £8m ...And Antonio Nunez. And at the Bernebau now, he's far down the pecking order as possibly the FIFTH choice striker (Raul, Ronaldo, Robinho, Julio Baptista).
Why are they agreeing to pay so much for a player Real clearly have little intention to use? Souness really are a pair of mugs, I tell ya! They deserve each other.
Real may still say they want to keep Owen, but you and I both know he'll suffer far more than what he went through last year.
As a goalscorer, England international and proven striker, Michael Owen would certainly be worth £18m and a lot more. In the Real Madrid reserves, however, you've got to be looking at half of that fee first, and then, negotiations can begin.
Perhaps this is why Arsenal and Chelsea haven't moved for him?
A loan-move to St.James' Park would be ideal in this situation. With the option to buy him this time next year, you can guarrentee that asking price will have dropped considerabley.
They may well be looking to recoup some of the many millions they just spent on two other goal-scoring gods of the modern game, but you can bet that, should Owen be stuck in the back for the next 4 months, there will come a time when they realise his wages alone are costing them too much.
And if you ask me, based on their start to the season, Newcastle's priorities rely on getting a decent left-winger. They should've kept Robert and worked with him - he's looking a real class act at Pompey now. )

Will he? Won't he?

I was a Liverpool fan i wouldnt want him back after he turned down thier contract extension last season. He could rot in hell as i far as i would be concerned.
But he wants to return to Liverpool and if he went to Everton then the Liverpool fans would never take him back.

It's all souness' fault, trying to sign players like boa morte and viduka, they're good players, but maybe souness would set his sights a bit higher.
newcastle must have thought they needed a new touch to the game but look where that got to.
Owen might have been tempted by a one year lone because of alan shearar because he will be at newcastle one more year and he thought he might get some tips off a ex english striker

Arsenal won't buy a striker. Benitez has also said he dosen't want owen. What about chelsea, they need a goalscorer, although they have shown no interest in owen. Newcastle?? owen said he would like a one year loan deal before moving- to see how newcastle fare under souness- which won't be very good. oh why did they sack bobby robson....

Yeah but that is newcastles offer if owen rejects then in the last hour wenger might get him for less money depending on how much real want him gone.
