Keegan Wants Owen To Have New Contract!

"Michael's not going to stop scoring, he's not going to stop catching the eye and Michael is going to be wanted by other clubs. But at the moment he's here.

"He enjoys playing at this club. A lot of the stuff that's been written may suggest otherwise but nothing Michael has said has been anything other than positive.

"I've never asked Michael if he wants to stay, so I can't answer that, but I hope the answer is yes. If not, we've another year of him and that's the very least we'll get.

"I don't think that we'll get a player any better than Michael, as long as he isn't injured again.

"I don't see why we should be looking all over the world for foreign players and trying to teach them how to play in the Premier League when we've got one who knows his way around and whose scoring record is tremendous.'
