fowler OUT
Gonzo IN
Title... good bye
I don't know where Leeds got the money from but I can't imagine that they would sell Robinson as there is no-one to replace him and Martyn is getting on in years.
I'd imagine if anyone was to go it would be Jason Wilsox as Seth Johnson can play on the left if pushed and McPhail can too.
Also if Bowyer and Woodgate don't go down Duberry will be on his way I'd say.
Leeds must be confident that Bowyer isn't going to jail as if they have no money they really need to spend it on a right-sided midfielder.
As for the strikers with Bridges out and Smith currently suspended and Robbie Keane with a broken hand and Viduka only back from international duty we were scraping the bottom of the barrel.
I'd imagine all will stay as Keane can be pushed into right midfield as well.
If Bridges comes back fit (which is probable but will probably take as long as Jamie Redknapp's recovery) then there will be 5 strikers and there would be problems there.
But playing in 3 competitions with only 3 strikers available was never going to be viable.
I'm sad for the Liverpool supporters who didn't want to see Fowler go (my little brother is a Liverpool supporter and Fowler is his favourite player) but I hope Fowler does a good job for Leeds.

What's so promising about Heskey ? If anything, he'll be eternally promising.
A point about the proposed Robbie Fowler transfer:
Has Gerard Houllier disclosed any media information i.e. Interviews/Reaction?
I wonder if he had been kept well informed of the situation as he feels Fowler is going to be a star of the Liverpool team
He was impressive against Sunderland on Sunday and has scored more than Heskey this season (Fowler has scored 171 goals in 330 games) and I am just wondering if it was Thompson who in fact engineered the deal...
I don't know - it is just strange to me that while Houllier is in hospital Thompson sells one of Liverpools best players and the fans favourite - but 2 months after falling out with him. Makes you wonder if this was a collective decision by both assistant and general manager or whether Thompson took the inishitive/advantage even while Houllier is in the hospital <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" />

thompson doesn't even pick the team without input from houllier, let alone sell players.
Well, the dippers refuse to believe it. What more can I say, other than wait and see. Thommo will be the death of this mini revival as he blindly and thoughtlessly pursues his own personal agenda. I think it's quite sad that a great club like liverpool should be reduced to a club split apart by in fighting and bitterness.
All bias aside, Fowler is a great player.
I can't believe Liverpool are selling a home-grown lad with so much talent, to one of their main rivals, and keeping Heskey - not getting into the Heskey debate, but I just think Fowler is a different class.

I do not see anybody leaving Leeds apart from maybe Wilcox....we are building a squad so it does not make sense to sell one to sign one. All the current squad new DOL's plans when they recently signed new long term contracts, that was one of the reasons they signed of course, so Vids, Smithy and Robbie K will be going nowhere.
As far as Bowyer is concerned it has always looked likely that he would receive at worst a suspended sentence so he is still in DOL's plans for the future. Woody's case looks worse and I think the signing of Rio was to replace Woody. We have coped well without him and will not miss him.
The future looks good at Leeds and I am sure there will be more signings to come following Rio's 18 million, Seths 9 million, Robbie Keane's 13 million and now Robbie Fowlers 11 million.....not bad for a team with no money eh Softy? <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />

Rio and Keane were paid for by money from this years CL run... <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> , Seth and Fowler are the rest of that loan that Leeds just took out, that's why Leeds have just consolidated their debts with a little extra on top....
Viduka will be off soon.
hope they offload Kewell for us
any one got some pics of scousers crying outside Anfield?
Put em up asap
Put em up asap
All the best Robbie.
Best move for all party's imo. Just hope that Baros is the new striker people are talking about, <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" /> Yorke *shudder*

Why are Leeds Utd AFC gonna buy Fowler? They `ve got a lot of forwards: Smith,Keane,Viduka,Kewell,Bridges.They don`t need Fowler imo.

You are the biggest TiT on the planet SoftHead!! Here's a pic of that shite striker we have got called Viduka. It happens to be after he banged his FOURTH against you lot!
Your theories of us being broke are laughable too...not long ago you were saying we did not have any money to spend and yet again you are proved wrong. What does it matter where the money comes from as long as we get quality.
You got any money to spend at Anfailed...How about Arthur Fowler to replace Robbie?

Why do you reckon our title bid is over due to us selling a striker who rarely plays?
