Carra and Gerrard want Owen back but not Rafa

[dww]

Sell Bellamy for £9m and buy Owen.

Yes, his last injury is a worry but a medical should indicate if he's recovered. Similar injury to Van Nistleroy hardly hampered his goal scoring efforts. One thing Owen will always do is score goals, and he won't need time to settle into the club or premiership. We won't miss Bellamy and we'll still have the money to buy Tevez/Eto/Villa or whoever everyone is dreaming about.

Not really a good analogy though is it. Owen scored a lot of goals largely because of his acceleration. If the injury impares that then he is likely to be as effective a goal scorer. RvN never really used physical attributes other than body strength and was all about positioning and finishing.

I'm not sure we have as much money as you think we do.

At the end of the day Rafa calls the shots and Owen already had his
chance to return and he blew it.

The problem is Rafa is a **** manager compared to 70% of the posters on this thread

Agreed we should get Rashid as manager.

Nah - I'll do it.

Nah - I'll do it.

Ok only if you promise to buy unproven talent and disregard everyone who isn't unproven despite higher international standing and more accolades. Remember Youtube.com and FM are the best methods of player judgement.

"Overruled" my foetid ringpiece.

And sign-up AFII as chief scout

Rafa wanted him back after he signed for Newcastle, that is a fact, so I don't really believe that what he did or didn't do when he signed for them or when he signed for Real has anything at all to do with that we won't sign him.

It's all about his fitness and that Rafa now can buy better players than him.

I dont believe that, maybe if he was offered for free, Rafa may have said, yes please, Rafa doesnt like his targets not saying I only want to play for Liverpool and nobody else, if Owen had done that while at Real, he would now be a Liverpool player, he choose the other option.
How do you know for certain that Rafa wanted him fact?.
