Nice goal, but not really Van Basten-esque

I can't help but feel Newcastle might be shooting themselves in the foot over this Owen deal.

Owen said he wants to go back to Liverpool, but he would go ON LOAN to Newcastle for the season.

Newcastle then make a bid which Liverpool won't match (presumably why they made such a high bid)

So now Liverpool seem to be out of the equation, Owen has to say to himself "Do I want to sign for Newcastle permanently" and I don't think he'll want to. SO rather than having Owen for a season....they probably won't get him at all.
