Geordies top scorer last season, with ten apparently.
Not a bad ratio that considering he only played once or twice amongst a field of chicken nuggets.
Let's gerrim back and use him as a 'Fairclough'.
I think he'd bang them in for us still, no prob.

We need a good finisher and poaching type of striker. He would certainly get alot more chances with us than he did at the barcodes. There must be a reason he still gets into the England squad when not injured. Capello isn't an idiot nor is he influenced be sentiment. Am I missing something?! I though Owen DOESN'T get in the England squad? Capello prefers Emile. I'd rather have Emile back than Michael. Screw Owen - delaying on a contract offer for Newcastle, like he did for us. No loyalty wherever he goes. I'm made up he sat on the bench at Real Madrid the season after he left (on the cheap £8m was a steal), and then watched us go on to win in Istanbul. Yeah, good decision Mike! Unlucky!

Who gives a flying one about Newcastle? worse he treats them the better imo, he never wanted to go there in the first place.
Rather have Heskey back over Owen?
One ran his heart out for 7 years, many times carrying the club almost single-handedly to victories in big games (FA Cup Final 01) until he decided he wanted to try his game at the biggest club in the world at the time. He left for a profit of £8 million, plus a player we later sold for £2 million (nowhere near enough, but still...)
The other had one good season but after that only tried when he had a point to prove (Birmingham 03 etc) and most of the time wandered about looking disinterested and making Bambi eyes at the bench whenever one of the defenders tackled him too hard and he didn't want to play anymore, he left for a £5 million loss.
Owen isn't the player he was, of course he isn't, but i'm convinced he could still do a job at least as good as Fowler did when he came back, and if pay-as-you-play is correct, then where's the downside?
Oh and to those who keep metioning Nemeth and Pacheco, you're still basing that on the good starts each of them had, neither of them have shown they are anywhere near ready for first team football over the past year, hopefully they can get back on track this coming season but if not, don't be surprised to see both sold before making a first team appearance.

he was at un-Real madrid Emp - virtually every game he'd come on for the last 15mins and score 1 or 2 goals...
he hardly ever started a match as the likes of fat Ronaldo had to play as it was part of their sponsorship contract - Owen mus had been completely demoralized! but that's Florentino Perez for you!

It doesn't make sense to say that there is no advantage if he is free. We lose nothing if we bring him in and we MAY gain alot. No player is definately going to be a success here but at least he knows the club and what the fans expect. To say that we shouldn't bring him in for free is like nocking back a free BMW (ok, Vauxhall) because you don't like them. He may prove to play good and maybe last the full season injury free. We could sell him on for a couple of million at the end of the season and actually make money on him.

Listen owen might at first to get his move agree to be 2nd or 3rd choice but once he is here and he is chipping away at carragher and gerrard he will be cause the trouble the club doesn't need got to remember world cup season and his first and only love england are on the brink of qualifying , owen is not the player he was 4 seasons ago never mind when he was really good about 8 years ago no he should never return and it would be a massive mistake to bring him to liverpool .

Emp we are talking about PAY AS YOU PLAY........
That means if he doesn't play, he doesn't get payed. No good wage or being stuck on our wage bill.
Seriously it's like explaining algebra to a 2 year old.
