Owen wouldn't even get into Liverpool's starting XI.

Over Kuyt?

 

He's arguably what they need, a scrappy tap in player.

 

Kuyt plays out wide for them. I can't see why Benitez would want to deploy Owen as a winger.

That's what you pay for English players who are performing well. When you consider Villa were knocking back £15m+ bids for Gareth Barry, 6 big ones for Bullard seems reasonable. We paid the same for Alan Smith don't forget. I've had a bit of a u-turn on Bullard in all honesty... I wouldn't argue too much with that if there was any truth in it - he'd improve us.

January sales: Sportsmail's guide to who and what your team will get in the New Year

By Rob Draper Last updated at 9:41 PM on 27th December 2008

 

For Premier League bosses and chairmen it's that busy time of year again. The top targets have been identified and the vultures are already circling their prey.

 

Sportsmail examines what your club wants in the New Year and who they will get when the transfer window re-opens for business on January 1.

 

Newcastle

What they want: Michael Owen, Shola Ameobi and Nicky Butt to sign new contracts and a left-back, preferably Wayne Bridge if he will leave Chelsea.

 

Bridge over troubled water: Toon owner Mike Ashley is reluctant to splash the cash in January but boss Joe Kinnear wants Chelsea full-back Wayne Bridge

 

What they'll get: More instability from owner Mike Ashley, who doesn't want to pay Bridge's wages.

Ahhh ignore it, just my mate welshy repeating pub talk. Thought he was serious for a moment

Was just debating whether or not he's worth £6m... imo he probably is in this day and age given all the circumstances. I doubt we'll sign him.

So they're saying Butt and Ameobi will leave?  Fantastic!

ARSENE WENGER will start his radical transfer-window surgery with a three-pronged raid on Newcastle.

 

The Arsenal boss has targeted Toon trio Shay Given, Steven Taylor and Charles N’Zogbia in an attempt to fix the Gunners’ flagging season.

 

 

Wenger has been forced into the January sales after seeing his inept troops slide out of the Champions League positions.

 

 

And with skipper Cesc Fabregas crocked for virtually the rest of the season, he wants to move quickly and relatively cheaply to strengthen at The Emirates. His scouts have been scouring Europe for a keeper to rival Manuel Almunia but have come back with the news that there is nobody available better than Given for the price.

 

 

The Republic of Ireland stopper would set Arsenal back around £8million — which would appeal to the Frenchman’s sense of value with his £60,000-a-week wages unlikely to threaten Arsenal’s pay structure.

 

Radar

Sources close to Given have made it clear they believe he will be sold by the end of the transfer window with Arsenal his preferred destination.

 

 

Wenger was also lifted by the news Given travelled back to Germany three weeks ago and was given the all-clear by the surgeon who treated him following his collision with Marlon Harewood.

 

 

But it isn’t just Given, 32, who is on Arsenal’s radar.

 

 

 

 

Under-fire Wenger is desperate for cover at centre-half and wants Taylor (above left) to help provide an English-style spine to the team.

 

 

Taylor, 22, has been out of favour at St James’ Park for much of the season but has forced his way back into the team recently and Wenger has long been an admirer.

 

 

 

The Geordie signed a £30,000-a-week deal last season but knows he could almost double his money with a move to The Emirates as well as the chance to play under Wenger.

 

 

The final part of the jigsaw is French midfielder N’Zogbia (above centre) who is out of contract at the end of the season and has made it perfectly clear he sees his career away from Tyneside.

 

 

Toon boss Joe Kinnear is resigned to losing N’Zogbia, 22, but would be anxious to keep both Given and Taylor, although a joint bid of around £15m for the pair would be tempting as he looks to rebuild and strengthen.

 

 

Toon owner Mike Ashley is unwilling to invest heavily and has told Kinnear he will have to sell before he starts wheeling and dealing in the transfer window.
