Not really, but it looks like he is gone from Madrid.

I hope he does not go to ManU...
He is my favourite European Player and I can't stand ManU i don't want to have to watch ManU to see him play...

If there is a soccer God then he will not go to ManU 🙁

Arsenal???

Michael Owen is also my favorite euro player. i didn't like how he even went to real madrid in the first place and now Mancher United... i dont know about that :pissed: but i wish him the best wherever he goes. Just so you know i dont like Manchester United much either.

It is your lack of faith that will cause the Soccer Gods to send him to ManU now. You should have never said "if" so you are now toast.

"I find your lack of faith disturbing."

All you have to do is check out the weather reports from all of the RSL home games and you won't have to have FAITH in the soccer gods.. you'll KNOW they're watching out for us! And whatever you say, don't make them angry. A 4:00 PM game is when we need their help the most. 😉

Liverpool has said they won't go after him and Arsenal have hinted as much. Looks like ManU by default (although they don't really need another striker either). We'll see if Glazer really will pay for him.

Rumor has it he wants Owen to play up to with Rooney.

Madrid's director of football, Arrigo Sacchi, believes that the signings of Brazilian duo Robinho and Julio Baptista, will launch a new era for the club.

Sacchi praised the pair, claiming that the signing of Baptista aged 23 and Robinho 21, will ensure the prosperity of Real for a number of years.

"We have signed a very important player, with huge potential and one whom Wanderley Luxemburgo thinks is a perfect signing, both on a sporting and a human level," Sacchi said about Baptista.

"We know that he is a real professional and that is very important because everyone in football knows that your ability rises or drops depending on how you live your life away from the game.

"We think that we have signed a player of a very high level. He will play in a position that we needed someone new to play in.

"Baptista is very powerful, has great technique, he can score goals and has the ability to play in several different positions. I am sure he will be a great success.

"As for Robinho, well, he is incredible, a fantasy player with unbelievable skill. Now we will have to see how he adapts to European football.

"I think he is a player that will bewilder the supporters in the Bernabeu."

Sacchi said the signings highlighted the fact that the club was moving away from its recent policy of signing established stars.

"We are developing a different policy," he added.

"We have also signed Carlos Diogo, who is 22, and only Pablo Garcia breaks the system, but he will give us some great experience.

"The three younger ones are not just players for the present, who can give us so much now, but also they will improve and give us many, many years of great football."

I would hardly call a spate of "average Utah weather" reason to have faith in Soccer Gods...

If you want a reason to have faith in Soccer Gods then all you need to do is look at the fact that RSL is here at all.

I thank the Soccer Gods regularly for that simple fact... not a superstitious belief that they have maintained amazing weather in a state that has pretty amazing weather anyway...

But speaking of superstition... my Mathis hat has been pretty blessed... and just for the record... the chicken on Saturday at Iggy's was pretty decent. Mmmmmm!

:freaked:

and for the other record... I ain't afraid of no toast! 😉
