Not only can Owen, who cost £17m, go for £9m ... but we hear the Magpies
will not recieve a cash windfall from Michael Chopra's move from Cardiff City to Sunderland.
Not ANOTHER Howler Freddy!
The £5million deal between the Bluebirds and Roy Keane's side will all go to Cardiff, although Chopra will pick up a signing-on fee as he did not request a transfer.
But after recieving only £500,000 last summer for Chopra, Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd dropped another clanger. Cardiff chairman Peter Ridsdale said: "The chairman made sure he settled the deal there and then with no sell on clause."
