I would only consider Newcastle if they came in to loan me for a season" - Micheal Owen, July 2005.
Also when did Shearer ever play with a broken foot? I spose he used to slay dragons too?
That quote that was bounded round at the time was never seen in pictures and I rember him denying it too... Even if he did he didnt sign on loan anyway!
Owen didnt have a broken foot at the time which is the whole point. the quotes at the england cap that he has been fit for weeks were the worrying ones...
Rooky this was everywhere - even the Sky Sports website quoted it. I'll be money that Owen doesn't ever sign a new contract with Newcastle.
Also Owen played half his Liverpool career with injuries. Maybe he just doesn't care enough? I would never question his professionalism/passion to play though.
