He's fifth in line at Real Madrid so he would get maybe 2-3 games a year. He hasn't rejected Newcastle, he's waiting to see if Liverpool (his old club) make a bid for him, if they don't im sure he will go to Newcastle, he would just like Liverpool better because he's already a fan favourite, they are in the champions league and have a far better chance of winning something than Newcastle, also he would get much better crosses, and balls from Gerrard and co than Newcastle, so is likley to score more.

We have a very good Midfield :snooty:

Just no defence and one decent Striker with no upfront support..

And we only have a Team, not a Squad...



Souness really should just f*ck off, together with Shepherd... but unfortunatly, they are so far up each others arses, and dont give a f*ck what the fans or players want.

I'm not at all surprised that Owen doesnt really want to come to Newcastle atm... I dont think any player with a choice, in the Premiership, would unless they were mental.

He has a clause in his contact that says after 12 months, if any club offers £12M or more, Newcastle have to accept it. Ofcourse MO might not want to leave after 1 year and he might like it with Newcastle. Remember hardly any players see out there contracts. Most sign for 4 or 5 years and are either sold after 3 (after refusing to sign a new contract) or after 3 years sign an 'extension' which means instead of having only 2 years left, they have say 4.

If they refuse to sign a new contract and arn't sold at the end of the contract there free to leave to any club for free, so most clubs try to sell before that happens otherwise they lose out.

Thats one of the reasons MO went to R. Madrid in the first place. He had 1 year left with Liverpool and had refused to sign a new contract. If Liverpool had not sold him he would have gone ot R. Madrid after the year for free, and not the £8M he went for.

Since Owen's lacklustre press conference and the pitiful get-out clause in his contract came to light, it will be interesting to see how Newcastle fans take to him.

They are among the best and most loyal fans anywhere in the world but he's certainly no Shearer (I don't mean that in a playing sense) and I would expect him to get shite from some quarters of the support.

It's difficult for me to recall any major signing being so melancholy about his new club.

His get-out clause seems a bit more complicated than just £12 million next year and he can go, it also depends on NUFC's league position and qualification for European competition.

It would be a fucking blow to lose Owen and Shearer at the end of the season. I'd be gutted, like a Liverpool fan who has just realised their goalscoring legend will be playing for toon this season.

I think, for Owen, joining NUFC is akin to taking home an ugly bird after a night out. You'd prefer to be shagging a cute blonde with pert breasts but any hole's a goal...

Noice.

I think he's damn lucky to be going there. The unique situation of his preferred clubs means that Newcastle is the best option he could have hoped for; the top three already having a full complement of top strikers, Liverpool being indifferent probably because of the way he blackmailed them into leaving and Real Madrid, plus other top foreign teams, not thinking he was up to the job.

Newcastle are a huge club who treat their players magnificently and the supporters treat them like gods. Maybe after he stops rolling his eyes, he'll realise that he's a fairly lucky chap to be playing for a team in which he could well be the final piece of the jigsaw.

He's happy because he is at the only club which would have been interested in him, for the reasons you stated.

He's sad because his new manager is a dirty, hacking, cheating, hun bastard.

The boy is simply a wee bit amphibious just now.

Im not sure about the League position but in his contract it says he "needs to be play European football" whatever that means.

However i can imagine that NC are set to make massive ammounts of money on the shirts, and Owen related merchandise. If every NC fan buys the shirt at £30 then thats much more than the £4M difference between that the paid and his buy out clause.

If NC play there cards right they could make this move work for them as well as Owen.

Newcastle United fans buy the shirts anyway. If they just get a different name on it I don't see where the extra income comes from.

JPaul, I know a few people that have 2 or 3 of the current shirts.. with the different names on them.

You'd almost think that they all need to be wearing the same players name at the same time... and the day of the week defines which name is required.

Owen will be popular, so there will be a number shirts sold with his number and name on them, in addition to the normal sales.

I should have known this'd come up while I was away :lol:

TBH I offer my best wishes to Newcastle & Owen in what'll hopefully be a frightening combo. Seriously, I'm indifferent to Owen coming back to the Premiership.

What I had a problem with though was the thought of Owen coming back to Liverpool. This was a guy who basically went to the hot-shit at the time (Real Madrid) when Liverpool were pretty low and weren't winning much. A year later, Liverpool wins the Champions' League and he wants to come back. That smelt less of missing home and more of missing the silverware.

I also had a problem with some of the media begging for Owen to come back to Liverpool. Out of all the reporters, analysts, columnists, whatever - I only noticed one as being an LFC supporter. No one player defines a team - Same reason why I appreciate Gerrard's talents but don't bow down to Gerrardmania. :no:

Without Gerrard Liverpool are an avarage team, without Gerrard and Alonso your utter shyte. It doesn't help that your striker force is crap. Cisse is the best. Crouch is white Drogba. FM seems to have lost his finishing skill and seems to find the Premiership to fast paced.

Without Gerrard you would only have just scraped through the early CL quilifiers. To me Gerrard makes your team a good team, without him you would be a mid table team just getting in on a Euro cup slot.
