On reflection i’m glad Rafa didn’t bring him back. He’s too much of a risk. Plagued by injuries in his time at Newcastle and he’s probably passed his best now anyway. He’ll probably just be a bench warmer at Man U, i cant see him playing ahead of Rooney and Berbatov. He should never have gone money grabbing and left Liverpool in the first place then he would probably have still been a respected international.

Good call John and good luck with getting straight back up; it’ll be a poorer PL without the Geordies!!

You can say what you like about Michael he is still one of the great strikers that ever wore the liverpool shirt. In my opinion as a Liverpool supporter for over 20 years “RAFA you missed an oppertunity of a life time” Unless we find a second good striker “not taking Michael on board” will come back to haunt us.
To all the Liverpool supporters bad mouthing him about his move to United i think you are dreading the fact that he will be the difference between us beating Man U.

I feel he’s done what he had to do for himself and will have to accept that all LFC fans will dislike him for it. His going the Real Madrid was worse and he got his payback for that when we won the CL.
What worries me is that last week nobody was talking about him and no club was serious about signing him. Now that Fergie has made his move, we are all wondering if he’s pulled off a brilliant move (again, I hate to say) or if Owen will flop. Either way its cost Utd nothing. And I saw somewhere that Owen claimed he would have come back to Anfield for just £20,000 a week. I give Rafa the benefit of the doubt – but only just!!

I thought Michael Owen was a legend for Liverpool i`m shocked that he`s joined them wank why i heard he had a choice between Wank Utd and Hull city. WHY not Hull he could of got back to his peak their till that contract ran out then come back to Liverpool what a TRAITER.

Owen is waste material, NO trust & No Sole. Look at Carlos Tevez, he know the rivalry between Liverpool & MU and this why he said choose not to come to Anfield, even given a chance. I believed Owen is a JINX & this happen in Real & will happen again in MU.

The EPL tittle we be our . Thank you Michael Jinx.

Rarely has anyone left Anfield and gone on to better things (perhaps Mcmanaman,champs league)
Owen has just joined those statistics.
He didn’t give Rafa a chance back in 05 and were is he now.
Sold his soul to that shower, it makes me sick seeing him with that
shit top on

I don’t see what all the fuss is about.

Only joking, I was seriously p1$$ed off when I heard the turncoat had signed for United.

Still, hope his leg falls off.

as a newcastle fan, this little money grabbing shit-house was not fit to wear the shirt of newcastle united or Liverpool, we are a club that is a complete shambles however he still sat on his arse and took our money, no heart no bottle for the fight all the qualities for a man utd player. simple fact is he’s a expensive luxury who plays when he wants to, would he actually get into the current LFC team!? I don’t think so, he’d probably end up injured when he cleaned torres’ boots! I sincerely hope he gets the treatment he deserves at Anfield and a bit extra for us geordies cos god knows how long it’ll be before we can let him know our true feelings! wishing LFC luck for the title!
NUFC forever

In fairness I think this is a good bit of business for Utd. I’ve never really been a Michael Owen fan, I never really thought he had the technical ability to justify such a huge reputation. In addition, he always seemed to be more of an England player than a true Liverpool player putting his commitment to our club in question. However, he can score goals and his record proves that. True he is injury prone, but he has cost Utd nothing exept for his wages of course and therefore was well worth a punt.

Without turning this post into a lesson in manc appreciation, I do think Owen will score goals at a club like Utd, purely becuase they create so many chances. Taking into account our current financial plight, I feel slightly disapointed that we didn’t take a chance on him. Could he have done any worse than Ngog or Voronin? This deal kind of sums up how are transfer window has gone really. We’ve paid vastly over the odds for a player we don’t really need and can nowhere near afford those players we really want and need. The most significant transfer activity at anfield this season may be players leaving the club rather than new faces coming in. As this ever happened in our history? Feeling very sceptical about next season.

Michael Owen even when he was at Anfield only ever cared about his england place , when Rafa came he never gave him a chance and as for the Liverpool fans ,to sign for the mancs is a slap in the face but lets hope to have the last laugh and win the prem and I hope Gerrard does not criticise the Kop for the torrent of abuse he is bound to recieve on his return ,the little shit.

I don’t feel anything bad towards Saint Michael but I am not happy to say the least. His signing will prove to be another stroke of genius for Fergie and that is what Benitez should have realised before this happened. Not good for Red fans but what did we expect?

as a newcastle fan i thought i’d have a look at LFC’s reaction to this. Our club was a shambles during his time here. Fair enough. However, his couldn’t care less attitude really went beyond the pale. He was especially disinterested during our run in last season when we needed him most. But, hey, he couldnt risk an injury when he was due to a free on July 1st. What an absolute shyster. This bloke will retire with a bulging bank account and knowing the cost of everything and the value of nothing. I have nothing but disgust for this fella.
