Owen ready to start talks over Liverpool future Michael Owen is set to start talking about his Liverpool future next week when he meets with his agent to start negotiations with the club. Owen's future will become clearer when he meets Tony Stephens to consider the options ahead of negotiations with the Anfield hierarchy. A meeting between Stephens and Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry is also imminent, but discussions between the player his family and his agency will have a big bearing on the outcome. Owen has 12 months left on his contract and while he is believed to favour staying at Liverpool, a lot will depend on how Liverpool end the season. He also knows he will have to make a decision on his future at the start of the next campaign. And recent reports suggesting Owen is only prepared to sign a one-year extension should be ignored. No such approach has ever been made to Liverpool and if Owen does sign, it is likely to be until at least the end of the 2007 season, which is effectively a two-year extension to his current terms. And any decision will be based on footballing reasons, with Owen determined to win top honours. source: TEAMtalk ----------------------------------------- if Owen is not going to sign, we'll hv to sell him to the highest bidder. cant afford to let him go like macca. and owen looked so disinterested in playing nowadays. in fact, i notice this eversince he came down for the asian tour. whenever owen is captured on tv, he shows tt kind of sulky look. maybe he is tired but tt really sux. frankly speaking, i think tt 'one-yr extension' deal sounds alrite to me. at least it gives us time to either improve and get into CL or find a good bidder. ynwa, webmaster
