Now we all know how the London media LOVE to have a dig at the Toon, so is this a load of cobblers or is their a touch of truth in it?
Owen 'Not Keen On Allardyce'!
"Even with his well-documented injury problems, at the right price (£15m has been reported) the 27-year-old would be a good buy and Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester City have all apparently been showing an interest.
"Juande Ramos is keen to stamp his own brand on the White Hart Lane outfit and has obviously been linked with players from his former club Sevilla - but apparently he is also a fan of the former Anfield legend.
"Talking of which, news of Owen wanting to leave St James Park has led to the inevitable talk of a possible return to his first love. What would Liverpool fans make of such a comeback?
"Fernando Torres has made a good start to his Reds career, but Peter Crouch seems unhappy and may well be on his way out, and Dirk Kuyt hasn't been a big hit even though Rafa Benitez continues to stick with the Dutchman.
"Maybe there is space for the diminutive Owen back where he belongs."
