Owen had to leave cos he knows his time is almost up. Moving to RM is the only way to make more money with his limited time. It is just simply a 'earn a living' decision. Remember most sport person career usually ends when they reach 35years old, baring any injury.
i've come to term that players come and go. remember, rush did leave the club too.. masch is gone.. most probably torres and reina will also leave someday.
on owen, he did not do the club right after promising he will sign and suddenly goes to RM with disgusting fees when they came knocking. either sold him on the cheap or he'll be on bosman the next year. rafa did his best to make him stay but alas, he's the one who'd missed out in Istanbul. I bet he cant forget it till now because "where were you in istanbul" chant by the kopites. some still bitter about him but for me.. karma already gotten to so i'm cool with him. mickey will always be one of liverpool greats.
players come and go but the club will stay forever. YNWA!
fine owen did his time here but when we needed him he left.
in 2 occassions he could have returned, we waited & hope he would fend of newcastle offer after RMadrid, he didnt. (snub no 1). In the opportunity he could then leave newcastle after they were relegated, He choose to join the team He dreamed of playing. It was his great wish (dream) to play IN old trafford (he even said it while at LFC) (snub no 2). We never officially lobbied for his return (if as how some of you younger guys put it), but you can see both carra & gerrard was in favour (& wish) of his return to redeem his status.
Liverpool FC stance was 'cheap' as we sold for peanuts & RM asked for 2 times the value in return, IF he had snub Newcastles offer, then LFc can negotiate with RM. come on Owen came off the ranks of the junoirs at LFc, he became OWEN (the wonder kid) because of LFC.
so owen is owen. if you count the season he left us thats 3 times he snub us for 'better' clubs. so owen is owen. thank you for th e 2 goals FA cup final. (we certainly would still needed your help, but hey there are bigger clubs to him than LFc.
I'm sorry but I'm begining to think some LFc fans 'mudah lupa'. oh thats right we believe the LFC board/owners & everything now RH has to 'tell' us.
I dont blame RH, he has done some couple of successes in the continent. Managing "LIVERPOOL' is dream come true, He is at an aged where knowing the circumstances that HE is given the opportunity of a lifetime. Its like someone offering you a million bucks to be here but under strict orders NOT to screw with the owners. RH deeply knows even with calibre, he seriously would not have been considered but in transition, he is asked to take the task.
as duke red mentioned, mascherano was a somebody even before he joined west ham. HE NEVER played for west ham (unused sub) cause the manager felt he didnt fit in his plans. We know both tavez & mascherano was used as a bait for some rich owner who wanted to buy into west ham. west ham 'never' officially owned the player (they never had the money to buy the argentina intenationals in the first place).
sigh what has LFc become? Even jose mourinho thinks LFc is a poison chalice. He wont even if offered (to manage) at the current (ownership) situation.

Why did Spain have to play Torres knowing very well that he is just returning to full fitness, the clubs is making all the effort to ensure that he returns to his prolific best and here you have Spain using him when there are many other options out there, come on a Spanish "B" team could have beaten Liechtenstein quite convincingly, was Torres really needed? Can't believe the Spanish FA can't at least give due consideration the the club's plea

torres wanted to play for spain so the club should not block it IMHO. it good for his match fitness and as it turned up he got himself a brace and lift up his morale.
if he ended up injured then it will be a disaster. thank god nothing happened. but i believe the club and torres know what they are doing.
it is a positive thing and we cant block what torres want to do , if he feel happy to play for spain then let he play and let him happy , as the return he scored 2 goals and lifted up his morale and is a good things for us
hope nothing happens to our beloved Torres while hes away on international duty,now that he scored few goals later when he returns he'll be better than ever and starts winning us every match haha
Jerzy Dudek, Stephen Wright, Steve Finnan, Stephen Warnock, Joe Cole, Steven Gerrard, Emile Heskey, Michael Owen, Luis Garcia, Jamie Carragher, Jay Spearing,
what a team.. we won 4-1..
carra scored 2... did he score a penalty against ourselves? LOL.
souness, never really achieve anything throughout his management career. how the hell he can condemn about Rafa Benitez's regime!!!!
I think Souness clearly screwed up at the worst time, it was a period where the Premier League and the Champions League was beginning and his mistakes clearly caused great financial loses to the club
