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

4 mill for a player whose contract is up in a few months? seems way too much to me!

Yup, go for Owen!

£4m is way too much for Heskey when we can get Owen for half of that and if Rafa decides in his stubborn ways that he would rather pay for Heskey then he needs locking up in the looney unit.

We should not judge the cost of the transfer by the price of the player only... Owen at 2 million but with a wages of 90,000 pounds weekly is a more expensive option than Heskey at 4 million and less than 50,000 pounds weekly...

i still think both are far too expensive - we have nemeth and pacheco who are, imo, good enough to cover injuries, no need to buy anymore strikers just in case torres and keane are out injured

I think the extra striker would be needed to cover games as the others are rested.

Nemeth and Pacheco are real bring prospects but we might take a lot of risks if we were to rely on them for goals in case of injuries to Torres and Keane, as they don't have enough first team experience...

IMO we need another striker and it should be Owen...

I would agree totally mate but it would be nice to see the kids play as well.

how are they meant to gain first team experience unless they play??? they need games not more players ahead of them in the pecking order if they are going to make it

How are we supposed to get results though if every other team has their best squad out, I agree with what you are saying but that should be left to the last five minutes if the team are winning or the cup games.
