Newcastle put £8 million price tag on Owen... but who wants him?

It has been widely speculated today that Newcastle United manager Sam Allardyce has put an £8 million price tag on striker Michael Owen.

Owen has been ravaged with injuries over the past two years or so and many people are starting to doubt wheter or not he can really come back from so many operations etc;

Manchester City have always been said to be very keen on the 28-year old's services but apparently Sven Goran Eriksson has today told Allardyce that he isn't interested.

The former Liverpool striker was linked with several other English teams before he joined Newcastle back in 2006 including current Premier League Champions Man United and I have seen somewhere that they may be interested in him again.

One things for certain is that when Michael Owen plays he's a real threat but unfortunately for him and Newcastle he hasn't been able to play enough. I just hope wherever he goes (if he does leave) they have a good medical centre!
