You're welcome to him, mate. Don't get me wrong, he is a fantastic player at his best, but IIRC he was pretty inneffectual in his last year at Liverpool.
Yes, I would have liked him to come to the hallowed ground, but only for the wind-up factor that it would have provided

Wind-up factor?
I suppose it worked for all the other players who said they were true to their own clubs / never play for ManU up until the moment they signed for ManU.
tonight i'll be going to ajax-brondby in the amsterdam arena, might be a difficult match actually, brondby played strong in Kopenhagen (or actually, in brondby itself, but that's very near), micheal laudrup (of barcelona and ajax fame) is their coach

Now it's really in Owen's court. Newcastle agree record fee for Owen - we must have offered around £18m. It's Owen's choice what he wants to do now...

By 'eck.
Well it's gone right down to the wire hasn't it? If I was him, I'd be on a plane up to the Toon asap. Doesn't look like Benitez is the least bit interested.

BenÃtez has been playing a few games with the press and fans, IMHO, so I wouldn't rule a last minute move out. Newcastle have also put some pressure on LFC now. Especially after last night's forward-line 'display'.
I am amazed Chelsea havent bought Owen. Drogba is possibly one of the worst centre-forwards in the Premiership right now, Owen is at least 10x better and would fit in with their style of play.
Although you can understand Owen not wanting to play under Souness who simply wouldnt win anything even if you gave him the kind of money Mourinho has to play with.

I think MO would play under Souness based on this morning's remakrs (paraphrase) if a deal with Liverpool cannot be worked out I have a greed to play for Newcastle on loan.
Just thought of a new strategy for Owen. What he needs to do is get Woodgate to 'accidently' knobble the trio of Brazilians during training then Owen would be indespensible

I can't see Woodgate staying fit long enough to put in 3 tackles.
Woogdate actually played four minutes for Real last night. He was given a standing ovation, apparently. Nothing like a good welcome. Or a good sendoff. By 'eck, that was the best bit of football business ever.
I think Kev has it right, large bid to price Liverpool out, now down to Owen to hum and hah for 24 hours. Deployment on Sunday would generate a rather nice welcome to St. James', especially if he can score his usual hat-trick .
Arguably a good move (in a World Cup) year going to a team without European football, at least he'll probably be fit and reasonably rested for the World Cup
Woodgate, like Bowyer, should be in prison - not on a football pitch.
As for Owen, he's a bit cheeky demanding a year at NU and then to move back to Liverpool. As soon as Liverpool got rid of him they actually won something. Mind you Cisse looks like a joke, Morientes is below-average and Crouch - well, what can you say - totally overpriced for a 3-5 goal a year man. Liverpool and NU need strikers and they need them now.
