Message: [QUOTE="ningnangnong, post: 2217818, member: 1848"] Growing up, he was probably my favourite player, so i don't feel as strongly about it as some others. Anyway, here's the general idea: - When Owen left in 2004, it was after countless promises to the fans that he was going to sign a new contract and he wanted to stay. He said something along the lines of 'these things take time' whilst also continually stating his desire to stay. Rafa came in and he didn't even give him a chance and left for an extremely cheap fee because he had run his contract down. - Then towards the transfer deadline back in August 2005, it was between us and Newcastle to sign him seeing as things hadn't worked out at Real Madrid. Rafa was willing to take him back but we couldn't match Newcastle's offer so we asked him to request that he will only join Liverpool OR wait till January 2006 when we would have the funds to sign him. Being a World Cup year, he wasn't willing to do either and took the move to Newcastle. - Now he has joined our most hated rivals. He was considered one of our finest strikers and to join the Mancs leaves a very sour taste. Dalglish, Rush, Fowler, Gerrard - none of them would ever consider joining Manchester United. In fact in his interview the other day after signing he said 'deep down he had always hoped he would get a chance to play at Manchester United'. If he's not crocked by the time the scum come to play at Anfield, he is really going to cop it. [/QUOTE]
