Yep, I'm a little sad now :(

It's not like the money is even going to be used to bring Owen back. Rafa, after having said he was not looking for a striker, now says he may want Kuyt.

NO! We. Want. Owen!

Ah damn nabbit and I thought I was being smart.

It's an opinion that's rife on the BBC's 606 message boards, too.

But I suppose it bears repeating :-)

Don't go thinking Dringo thought of that all by himself. It's in the papers this morning. He's done it before.

Owen is English so that's arsenal out.

Do you not think Kuyt is just a random ploy to try and scare Madrid in dropping the price.

Benitez "wants" him because he's "cheaper" despite stating several times he doesn't wanna a striker. He then goes and says "Owen is Madrid's problem for having too many strikers"...

He's trying to get them to lower the asking price.

Henry is really the only pure striker there though - the others play in an assisting role or in midfield. More recently, Henry has also had a tendency to drop back or drift to the left.

Owen would be a good buy for them.

If you look at who aresenal have already then they don't need another one.
Henry- Captain
Bergkamp-Maybe last season but still can score
Van Persie- Good and can score
Reyes- Has skill, likes playing on wings thoough
Bently- He wants to leave though
Lupoli- Young
Owusu-Abeye

Arsenal could have another striker but then Wenger would have to chose from 3 or 4 sub strikers because Henry will play almost every game as he is captain

Oh, and Raffa is a tool.

" I don't need Owen, I'll buy big lanky Crouch "

Aresnal are desperate for another striker I don't see why don't go for Owen. He's going pretty cheap, considering the amount of money Chelsea are flinging about for duds.

It was put in a newspaper the other day that Wigan wanted owen. Owen wants some kind of Europe anyway so he wouldn't go there.

Liverpool board said they would pay for him themselves.

He'd be more likely to go to Everton than Newcastle. Him and Carra were both pure-blood Toffees in their youth.

Not that it's going to happen.
