Ian Rush : " Owen is the answer "

Kop-Talk :
Liverpool legend Ian Rush says he'll be surprised if the club don't try to re-sign Michael Owen in the summer.
If anyone knows a thing or two about scoring goals, then Ian Rush is your man and according to him, Rafa must address the issue and quick if the Reds wants to challenge Chelsea next season.
Writing for the Echo, Rush said: "I'm certain Rafa Benitez's top priority before next season will be to bring in a striker capable of scoring 20 goals a season.
"When he's done this, the Reds will be in a much stronger position to challenge Chelsea.
"Naturally the strikers are getting most criticism for the goal return, although I think much of it is unfair.
"You can only play to your strengths, and it's clear neither Fernando Morientes, nor Peter Crouch, are prolific goalscorers.
"They possess other qualities which can bring something to the team, so those who point the finger at their scoring record are missing the point. You can't make a player something he isn't, no matter how good a coach you are.
"What Benitez lacks with his forward options is variety. He needs a world class striker before the start of next season. Unfortunately, they're not always easy to find, particularly at the right price.
"The only one I can think of for around, say, £12m, is Michael Owen. Given his price and the fact it wouldn't be a gamble to bring him back, I'd be amazed if he isn't on the shortlist this summer." -
So guys , how about 12 million pounds for Owen ?
