KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Michael Owen v Emile Heskey

In a poll held on KopTalk, supporters were asked who they would rather see signed during the January transfer window, Emile Heskey or Michael Owen, as both players have been linked with us recently.

Both are out of contract in the summer and both could move next month for knocked-down fees.

85% of those who voted said they would rather see Newcastle United striker Michael Owen signed with just 15% opting for Wigan hitman Heskey.

I would rather see Owen come back as Heskey wasn't that good the first time he was at the club imho.

Owen definitely, but it won't be a surprise if we sign Heskey for a small fee in Jan...

please neither - we don't need owen clogging up our treatment table while draining 80k a week from the club - and he doesn't deserve a second chance at the club anyway - lets face it he is nowhere near Torres' class

as for heskey he is just not good enough

I'd love to see either back if I'm honest, purely for sentimental issues which is sad lol.

Seriously, I didn't rate Heskey when we had him and I was furious when Michael left.

But if I could have one it would be Owen. I think he could give us the goals to win the title, I really do.

And what a bargain!

Both are ok. Michael is the better player. Makes sense to sign Michael for a couple of million.

Owen for £2m? I think we'd be nuts to ignore that. Rafa's stubborn though so I think he'd prefer Heskey if he had to have one of them. Again, Heskey would be cheap too.

And Heskey has the qualities that our attackers don't have... I can see Keane blossom with Heskey playing just behind him...

Anyway, Raffa will have the final say (even if i prefer owen than Heskey)

i would rather see some kids (nemeth, pacheco etc) given a chance than sign either of them - owen may be cheap but he left us in the lurch and his wages are obscene .... i would rather see the money put to better use in the summer

If you believe what written in the press lately, it seems that Raffa has made a bid of 4 million for Heskey (i don't know if its true), and Wigan will buy the Columbian attacker Hugo Rodallega possibly to replace Heskey...

Don't think a lot of you will be excited if the above is confirmed...
