| Utd linked heavily with Benzema again, anywhere between £25/35m seems to be the price although I read a couple of reports saying he did not want to move during a WC year. The Valencia rumour is still strong and there was also rumours about Douglas Costa and Rodwell.
Brown has comfirmed this morning that Hull do want to sign Owen but have not made him an offer as yet.

The story on sky sports the other day with Lacombe seemed to me to be pretty much an invite to Man Utd to put in a big bid and they'd get him. I could see Douglas maybe as well.
That's a risk by City if they offer him big money. Supposedly they're wanting to offer a conditional 1 year deal, so it'll be interesting to see what happens. I would have said previously that they'd have no chance, someone bigger's bound to be in for him, but the lack of interest in Owen is huge and must be doing his ego serious damage.

Have you seen that sales brochure he has issued? Bizarre.
Didn't realise he's only 29.

| Hi Paul, and fao everyone from Hull who post here.
I've obviously been to Hull many-a-time for rugby league, with Widnes and for Great Britain games.
But on recent trips to the city where I visit my girlfriend, I've noticed a huge amount of people in Liverpool shirts around. More than Hull, Leeds and Man U. Is Hull a Liverpool FC-supporting hotbed?

Unfortunately, despite the huge upturn in City's fortunes of recent, there is still a number of 'shirt-swappers' in Hull. Most of them supported Leeds (ugh) for a while, and over the years have more than likely sported Newcastle, Arsenal, Spurs and Manyoo shirts.
There is also a fair number who attached themselves to Liverpool in the 70's/80's and have never let go. Each to their own, and all that.

WTF? Surely if any now chose to support City after their "huge upturn in fortune" *s* that would make them a "shirt-swapper"?

| England U21 vs Germany U21 tonight (Monday) in Sweden.
England have qualified for the semis, having already beaten Spain, but Germany still need a point.

Seen the reports of it, but no idea what they've put in it. I agree it's bizarre, and I think the fact that they feel the need to do something like that speaks volumes. Who would have thought 5 years ago that Hull City would potentially be the best offer Michael Owen would receive at this stage of his career?

I've just read in the paper that he'll be on €40k a week plus €30k for every game he plays and another €10k for every goal.

| On the subject of shirts, am I alone in owning multiple clubs' shirts at various times, whilst not actually considering myself a fan of any of them? Since I've never had any solid allegiance to any football team, I've chosen them on a whim for several reasons; players I like, shirts I like, teams where I admire the brand of football they play. As a result I've had shirts of Man Utd, Everton, West Ham, Newcastle, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Lazio, Ajax, and St Etienne. Then there's international, where I've had England, Brazil, and Holland.
May have been linked to me working in a sports shop in my teens as well though.

Still a risk, but at least approaching sensible, I suppose. I can't see too many willing to offer him better terms either. Bloody hell, it might happen.

Not just me then.
Wonder how many of the 'shirt-swappers' are actually just fans of football in general then, without the fickleness associated with it.

Many of mine came through travel. Most are in my brother's wardrobe now though.

Aston Villa, Everton and Hearts enter at the next stage, the draw for which is on 7 August.

I've always been a Liverpool fan, but my dad bought me many shirts when I was young, mostly through his old job, but I've had Arsenal, Blackburn, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Sampdoria, Fiorentina, AC Milan, Inter, Juve, Italy, Brazil and a Valencia kit, all through my younger days.

| It'd be lovely if Rafa offered Owen a contract back at Liverpool. Ala Robbie Fowler. Obviously, on very good terms for the club, who were brilliant to him in his time at Anfield.

Not that many Man U though, from my recent trips to the City? I say not many, I mean in comparison to every other corner of the UK.

Really don't think he has anything to offer us. He's always going to be able to score goals, but he offers nothing physically and he won't be an outlet for us. I just think the top sides need more from a forward, especially if he's up top on his own.

Alright fella, traditionally Leeds Utd have always been well followed in Hull although with younger kids it's all the big four now.
