http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1145110,00.html NEWCASTLE United Chairman Chris Mort has revealed that there is no buy-out clause in Michael Owen's contract despite recent media speculation. 主席Mort今天表示,Michael Owen合約中的買斷條款已經不存在了. Owen joined the Magpies for a club record ￡17m from Real Madrid in August 2005 and recent reports had suggested that the 27-year-old striker would be available next summer for a ￡6m fee. 往事不堪回首,05年他創紀錄17m來到仍是個痛. 最近報導(其實還不就是The Times)繼續放風聲說這位大牌明年就可以用6m的價格 跟大家說掰掰. But Mr Mort has moved quickly to dispel those rumours, insisting: "There was a clause in Michael's contract which allowed him to leave for a certain fee during the last transfer window and the summer before that as well, but that sort of clause does not exist any longer. 主席Mort表示: 過去Owen的合約中確實存在買斷條款讓他可以以某個價格在轉會窗口開的時候走人, 但這個買斷條款現在已經不再存在了. "We want to see a fit Michael Owen scoring goals for Newcastle United for many years to come. There is no nervousness here about his contract situation. "It is disappointing (recent press coverage) because the reality is that Newcastle United are delighted that England regard Michael so highly. "It is quite right that they should because he is clearly a tremendous striker for his country as well as for Newcastle United. "I appreciate that the pinnacle of every great player's career is not just representing their club in every way they can, but also representing their country. "And I wouldn't want to hold any player back in their desires to play for their country. "Michael is a prized asset to this club and we want to look after him but we appreciate that he wants to represent his country as well." 主席說好話,傷心媒體都醜化我們. --
