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.
