utusanlfc, did you read about the gossip abt Liverpool being interested in Owen. It was mentioned in BBC's gossip column. A certain team that shares Liverpool's team is also interested. What do you think? Any possibility of seeing Owen in red again. If Benitez could take Fowler back, I am sure Owen is good for another 2 to 3 years (or more). And he'd be a good option to have too.
Above is a question posted by our good friend, myLFC to me. It was originally posted below but I believe Owen is a global issue that requires all of your inputs. And this is mine. A bit personal and emotional, you may say:

Owen is the very person to rejuvenate my interest and to rekindle my joy towards Liverpool Football Club in 1999. It was to coincide with the start of satellite tv era in Malaysia then. Before that, it was on-and-off situation. When there's a final showdown, so the news about it will fill the newspaper so most of us would be notified. The net then was still in its infancy. In fact, users like me were not well-versed at all, compare to now... hehehehe...
There was the magnificent goal scored by that 17-year old boy in the World Cup. And truly, his form carried onto Liverpool where his emergence toar apart the Spice Boys tag, led by one Mr Fowler and Mr Ince. The treble 2000/2001 season is one the most memorable win for me (and of you of course). Owen scored the double killer-goals against Arsenal in the FA Final. That was fantastic as they beat a team at their heights... (Owen didn't start in the UEFA and Carling Final).
Then we were introduced to a man from Spain, Mr Rafael Benitez. All of a sudden, there was a massive misunderstanding and chaos all over the club. Fans struggle to comprehend what pushed Gerrard and Owen to quit the club. The management managed to stop Gerrard but Owen were allowed to join Real. This is the beginning of the end for Owen and the Liverpool fans. Then there was a time when he almost rejoin Liverpool. It would be the same like Ian Rush returning from Juventus. A local son, finished doing his bid oversea and now are ready to return to the land.
Apparently, news prop out of the club exposing the attitude and the stand made by Owen against Liverpool. It was a total disappointment. Luckily, the needs for an out-and-out striker stopped last season when we found Fernando Torres. And at the same time, Owen was injury prone. He was not missed at all here in Anfield. It is unfortunate that it had to end like this.
So mylfc, you ask my vote if I want Owen to rejoin us (like Fowler...), I would say no to it. When we took Fowler, it was because Rafa was so deprived of money. He can't buy any good striker. At the moment, he has ample resources. If Rafa need a striker, obviously he doesn't need someone like Owen... a primadona and a past-tense superstar and injury-prone.

Well, what do you think? Guys, email me at official.liverpool@gmail.com and I shall post it as an article and not merely a posting. Then it would be fun. Can you do it?

he doesn't come cheap bro.
and don't forget he is injury prone too.
To his credit, he could've provide goals in tight situation like Stoke, he's nippy alright.
I'd rather pass on him and buy a proper right winger in the mould of Simao, Quaresma or Joaquin.
The team now lacks balance.
Sorry.. no more Owen for LFC please. He deserted us (read greed, rat abandoning ship, et al.). He did not even allow LFC to make some money out of him when he moved on. And when he 'wanted' to come back, LFC would have been stupid to pay the amount asked. He can go and play for Galatasaray for all I care. Just don't come back...you can walk alone Owen.
Hell hath no fury like an LFC fan scorned...
Rizal's comment was switch to a proper posting, instead here as a short comment. After all, Rizal was so fired-up and send us a rather long piece. So check it out.
