Will Liverpool feel regret of not re-signing Owen?

I am a life long liverpool fan and I would of been upset if they had tried to sign owen.

He isn't half the player he used to be, he will prob be good for maybe 15/16 goals next season.

He is far too injury prone, and to be honest he wouldnt get into the liverpool side with torres and the attacking mid-fielders we have at liverpool.

I wish owen all the success in the world but his best days and speed, are far behind him.

i think it was a good bet..he was on a transfer free flat rate but owens game is now down.i think alex is after increasing the value of owen& maybe sell him to real madrid again or another club afterwards&he has a long way to bring him back to the old self

Hi tripleh1029,

I disagree with you on this. I think Owen is pass his time. He is not what he is before he left for Madrid. I agree that injury is part of the games but Owen is too fragile. He is just like a glass. A slightly touch will make him have an appointment with a doctor again. You can afford this in a big and important games.

Free transfer is a good bargain but you still have to pay a salary. Liverpool is not where he is in yesteryear in term of account balance. Since this American take control on Liverpool, there is never been a positive balance because of loan interest. So, they just can not waste their money on someone is not so sure about his playing time. Remember, injury means doctor and doctor means money.

Wish a good luck to Owen. Liverpool would be better without him.

Happy mylotting and you will never walk alone.

You're rating Michael Owen on his past record with Liverpool, which is totally wrong. I don't care if he was free, Man Utd don't care about saving money, it's all about winning titles with Man Unted, they're not Man City. Man Utd won't go out of business if they buy a 60 million pound footballer.

I rate Owen entirely on his current fitness, skills and potential to score. Michael Owen frankly cannot fit the system and pace of how Man Utd play. He lacks speed, and he cannot score without HEAVY support. His goal record was amazing at Liverpool but Owen is no longer a 18 year old, and Utd never build around one player as Liverpool used to do, therefore Owen will struggle.

I don't think he'll score many goals, nor do I think he can even start any matches with Berbatov and Rooney in the team. There's still enough time for United to buy more players, and I doubt Owen will even be third choice if United can buy Aguero who is a similar player to Messi.

i think owen will do well at manchester united. his best days as a fast paced striker are gone but he can still score, he knows where the net is. if he's used correctly and not as a lone striker i'm sure he'll get plenty of scoring chances and i'm willing to bet that he scores 15-20 league goals next season.

i think liverpool will regret not re signing him, he has gone to their biggest rivals and in my opinion a squad can never have too many quality strikers. alex ferguson is no fool and i'm sure he would not have signed owen if he felt that owen couldn't do a job for the club.

i regret why owen go out in liverpool.. i dont know,,,i think get value earn money on transfer player..

liverpool must not be disspointed tht thy dint sign owen. not cause he is not a good striker.he s a wonderful striker. but thy have got torres. but we cant say. if the had signed owen he could have got along well with torres and made a dream pair. u can never say. when it comes to buisness, he s a very good buy. liverpool could have cashed on him. wat u say is right in this part. he would have got along well with the team as it was his old club. now we see him targetiing the golas wearing manu tshirt.
