Liverpool and Everton fight for Michael Owen

MICHAEL OWEN - wanted man
LIVERPOOL and Everton are set to do battle for Michael Owen as his Newcastle career remains in serious doubt.
The Merseyside clubs both made tentative approaches for the striker during the summer and are ready to step up their interest.
Owen’s future on Tyneside is still shrouded in uncertainty with his contract now in its final year. He has yet to commit himself to a new deal with Newcastle in a state of disarray after the exit of manager Kevin Keegan and with owner Mike Ashley seeking to sell the club.
Owen will be free to talk to other clubs during the January transfer window and will be available on a free transfer next summer if he lets his contract run down. That will open the way for Liverpool and Everton to make their moves.
Either could snap him up for a knockdown fee of around £4million during the window or wait until the end of the season and get him for nothing.
There is a strong lobby of support within Anfield for their former striker to return and Owen would welcome the chance to return to his first club. But Everton will provide serious opposition, having tried unsuccessfully to complete a deal on transfer deadline day.

Forget about Liverpool.
This mouse dumped the Kop in search for more spanish glory and medal.
In the end, we won the Champion League Final and the treble.
I rather buy another striker than the traitor.

I think tottenham might be interested especially with the dismal performance put up thus far.

Think u got it wrong.. He would have stayed if Benetiz had not accepted the offer from Real for him.

why would we need owen back again -.- we need a winger lah!

Owen would have been a better partner for Torres, at least he's a proven goalscorer at all levels
-
The club with the highest salary will win.
-
Robbie Keane for Owen!!!
-
Owen would be a free transfer come Jun or a cheap top level striker in Jan... Whichever way you look at it, he would still be value for money to anyone...
