Cracked up when I heard on the radio that Wigan were putting in a â'¬15 million bid for Owen.
I heard that too. Doubt that he'll want to be playing in the Championship next year.Originally posted by An Tarbh@Aug 22 2005, 07:11 PM

His legs break far too easily to be a top footballer.Originally posted by harrison2468@Aug 23 2005, 06:11 PM
I heard Cisse might be moving (possibly on loan). Any1 else heard this? A bit unfir on a bloke who hasn't yet had a major chance to show his skill.

Owen ready for Premiership return
Real Madrid's Michael Owen wants to return to Liverpool but is prepared to spend this season on loan at Newcastle if a move to Anfield cannot be agreed.
Madrid president Florentino Perez has promised to help the 25-year-old England forward return home.
"I said that my ideal situation was to start the season in the Real Madrid team and if not I would prefer to return to Liverpool," Owen said.
"If the transfer cannot be finalised in time I have agreed to go to Newcastle."
Owen spent much of his first season at the Bernabeu coming off the bench and the arrivals of Brazilian strikers Robinho and Julio Baptista this summer have seen him slip further down the pecking order.
The former Liverpool star had earlier indicated he was willing to stay and fight for his place, but has now had a change of heart.
He added: "I need to be playing regularly in World Cup year.
"I am most grateful to Senor Perez for his personal concern about my career. I have really enjoyed being part of his Real Madrid team."
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez insists his main priority is to sign a centre-back and already has Djibril Cisse, Fernando Morientes and Peter Crouch as his frontline strikers.
But Owen's return to Anfield would be welcomed by Liverpool fans, having scored 158 goals in 297 games in his first spell at the club.
Owen scored 16 goals for Real last season despite being used primarily as a substitute.
On Tuesday Everton manager David Moyes revealed his club had spoken to Owen's representatives, but the player rejected a move to Goodison Park.
