Who said Gus wants to afford Murray? I assume he has been offered what Gus values him at, unproven in the Championship.

Very much this, Murray is unproven at champonship level, this must come into account when putting a value on his wage. Im not convinced Gus is over bothered about Murray to be honest. That does not mean bigger wages would not be avalible if the right players come along. At the end of the day, its like anything. You get what you pay for in life, well you hope you do.

Didn't they stop taking bets on Paul Ince being our new manager because of rumours on here?

This is totally true, Michael put up a 2 year contract in a game of Texas Holdem and Tony won. :lolol:

Pork pie land.

This! How can anyone compare the two deals? IF we were to get Owen to join us, I am sure the shirt sales with "Owen" on the back (pity it is only four letters!) would probably make major inroads into any reasonable amount he was paid.

Let me see...????????

How much is a striker who has never played above the third tier of English football worth when compared with an (agreed fading) international superstar and national hero? One that can still make the bench for our Premiership champions with all their resources. I for one would love to see him join us. It would be a real statement of the Club's intent.

Sadly, whilst I would love it to be true, I just cannot see it happening.

On footballs rich list Owen is second only to Beckham. Owen estimated to be worth 40 mill, so there is a small chance he just wants to play, rather than get another pay day.

as much as I would LOVE to see this happen, I really cant, he'll be snapped up by a Premier mid table team, blackburn probably.

This is a very good point. How much money is enough, there must be players who just want a challenge and play football. They cant all be money grabbing fat cats.....Think of someone like Peter Beardsley, sure he ended up playing way down the divisions just to play football.
