The Owen saga

I am glad it finally ended. Although we "missed out" the opportunity to sign him back, but I do believe in Rafa's decision.

1. Owen turned his back to us last season, hoping to win more medals. He picked the worst timing to leave so that we can only get 8M (10M if you added Nunez) back. Now he wants to coming back, but not for Liverpool, but for his own England career. He is too selfish.

2. Although he may guarantee 20 goals (or can he?) a season, but it only works in a 4-4-2 formation. Rafa prefers a 4-5-1 formation and to accomodate him we need to make a lot of changes. This is just not worthwhile.

3. If he really wants to join us, he should not accept the bid from Newcastle. Real Madrid will be forced to sell him on August 31 to us at 10M if he is not going to Newcastle, as they need to save some payrolls.

4. If bring him back means selling Cisse, it will be stupid. Cisse has a bigger Liverpool heart, and he is now approaching to his top. We need to have confidence on him.

5. Carra and Gerrard may have publicly said they want Owen back, but they do believe Rafa's decision is the right one. And if Rafa can bring us CL trophy, you have to believe in him.

And finally, let's give Cisse a cheer and start to adore him louder, he deserves more from us.
