Owen playing guessing game

Liverpool8217;s joy over extending captain Steven Gerrard8217;s contract has been dampened by England striker Michael Owen8217;s refusal to commit himself to Anfield beyond 2005.

8220;It is impossible to say about my future at Liverpool,8221; Owen was quoted as saying on the club8217;s website on Wednesday.

8220;If they are winning the league every year, there will not be any decision to make about playing abroad,8221; the 2001 European Footballer of the Year added. 8220;There is no problem now and, in an ideal situation, Liverpool will do really well this season and challenge for the Premier League. 8220;But I really need to be playing in the Champions League and that is something we have to remedy.8221;
