Michael Owen expressed his feeling of unwelcomeness at Anfield, saying, 'I don't feel as though I'm welcomed or loved and it bloody hurts, so I prefer to avoid it.' This sentiment highlights the emotional ramifications of player transitions in a club's environment, particularly for Owen who, despite his accomplishments, feels distanced from Liverpool fans.
Owen seems willing to assist Trent Alexander-Arnold in making a move away from Liverpool, claiming, 'Trent's got my number… I'd be at the end of the phone for anyone who wanted to discuss it.' This reflects both his desire to help fellow players and the complexities of his own legacy post-Liverpool.
Reflecting on his own experience with transfer sentimentality, Owen noted about Alexander-Arnold that 'Whatever happens he should be regarded as a hero. Sadly, it does affect the way people view you. It will tarnish him in some eyes even though it shouldn't.' This quote emphasizes the emotional weight of transfers in football.
Owen's acknowledgment of his status at Liverpool now comes with bitterness as he said he does not feel welcomed back, indicating how player legacies can hinge on the reactions of fans over time.
