Michael Owen

[HughieG]

"I said to Tony [Owen's agent] the only way this is going to work and I go to Newcastle is if you get it in the contract that I can move to Liverpool for a certain amount that they are actually willing to pay now in a years time

"So I went to Newcastle with the caveat that I thought I was going back to Liverpool in a years time."

"I never ever played the game of football for money, but the thing in the contract made it a cracking deal and you can go back to Liverpool after one year.

"Surely this was the best thing to do rather than staying in Madrid, with a world cup at the end of the year.

"It made me think is this move the best of a bad situation.

"This could have been anyone Nottingham Forrest, Hull, Birmingham any team, but I wanted to go back to Liverpool end of story, no matter what.

"It just so happened Newcastle put in the bid. I have nothing against any other team I just wanted to go back to my club, and that is why there has been a fall-out since."

He was one of my favourite players growing up. Now he's one of the people I dislike the most in the football world. Tosser​.

You'd be surprised what is in players contracts

[Jammy89]

He's a prick.

I dislike him more and more as the years go on.

There’s no excuses for what this bloke did. How he can say he never played for money is a joke.

[Zippity]

Little shite.

“Alderweireld played really well last year for Tottenham, let’s hope he can transfer that form to Spurs this season.”

“That shot is impossible. I saw Yaya Toure do it once.”

“It’s a good run, but it’s a poor run, if you know what I mean?”

“When they don’t score they hardly ever win.”

“Blackburn have got two strikers on and they’re both playing up front.”

“I love these players with two feet.”

“If there’s a bit of rain about, it makes the surface wet.”

Isn't the little tosser brilliant at deducing the obvious.

“That would’ve been a goal had it gone inside the post.”
“Whichever team scores more goals usually wins.”
“You’re on your own out there with ten mates.”
“It’s definitely hit Defoe’s hand as it’s gone in, but it’s not a handball for me.”
and my favourite
“It’s hit the facial part of his head, there."
That will be his face then, you money grabbing p!sspot of an excuse for a human being. He didn't just take money from us under false pretences, he's still doing it to whatever TV company is stupid enough to employ him

He must be one of the champion tossers of all time, not only here but Liverpool as well as othe clubs he's turned out for.

Has anybody ever heard anyone have a good word to say about him ?

Classic, especially the first one.
