I knew Owen wanted to come back to Liverpool!

Q. Are they missing a player like Michael Owen? Why do you think Rafa declined the chance to re-sign him?

A. All is revealed in the update of the book! But a clue - Owen was badly advised and he cried when he realized he couldn't go to Liverpool.


That excerpt was taken from an interview with Guillem Balague who is a well respected author and journalist from Spain, and who is good friends with Rafa Benitez. When i read that, i get so frustrated. Oh man. If only he'd come back to Liverpool. I always knew he would have wanted to come back to Liverpool. A born and bred Liverpudillian, who was given the choice of going to any other club or Liverpool. Choice is easy for me, if i was Owen.

I'd like to read this book that Guillem has written and know what happened. Oh well, on the flip side, perhaps it was a blessing that he didn't come back, seeing as how he is so injury prone these days. But on the flip side of the flip side, perhaps he wouldn't be so injury prone at Liverpool where the doctors and physicians know his physiology in and out. Now we'll never know i guess.

Newcastle will never let him go after spending so much on him. So depressing. Now all we have of Owen in a Liverpool jersey are memories and online video clips.
