KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Michael Owen ( pay as you play)

Yesterday afternoon i heard from a good source that liverpool will this week complete the signing of Michael Owen on a pay as you play contract.
i have never been keen on the return of Owen especially coming in and demanding a huge salary with the uncertanty of his fitness and niggling injuries keeping him out for large periods, but if the source is true the pay as you play contract which undoubtadly being in Rafa's terms i feel we have nothing to loose and would welcome him back for a seasonnor so as part of a squad which is surely going to compete on all fronts...

if he brings back owen. is there a chance we will bring back salif diao?

We have Michael Owen coming into our my father restaurants in Chester. And believe me he is itching to come back. He was my idol when I was younger, and to see him back would be personally something that would make me very happy. Regardless of problems with injured, age & the manner of how he left liverpool in the first place. This time if he gets a sniff of a return he will take it.

This subject was one of the first threads in here IIRC, and as was discussed then I think he'd generally be welcomed back. Bargain price of zero now too!

NO NO NO NO!!! Give the younger guys a go before we bring back Owen. And if Lavezziu comes, which it looks like he will, then we won't need another one!

It will all depend on what plans Rafa has for the youngsters. We need squad players and only paying him if he plays would mean it's not a huge risk. Lets remember, he only had Newcastles midfield to supply him this season.

he could be employed as a super sub - it'll remind him of his real madrid days

I don't believe that we're in for him at this time. However I would welcome the signing.

Michael Owen (pay as you play)???

does this mean Michael pays Liverpool FC for the minutes he plays? And does he get a discount if scores?

Pay as you play would be a good deal for us to get owen on.
