At the time they brought him in, they weren't to know that ball-hoofing was gonna win them 5 trophies...

At that time, it was just a temporary thing to give them 'time to gel', apparently...

;)

Cause they got him for free and that's a real jackpot when dealing with a player of Jari's caliber and in case you dont know Jari had supported the side for 25 years, is it beyond your grasp that a player prefers to join his childhood favorite team even if it means a cut in the wages.

..and hardly ever plays. Yes it is beyond my grasp.
 
No it's not beyond my grasp, though it would make more sense if he actually played every now and then. Otherwise he might as well sit in the stands. ;)

Yes that's the tragedy in it, he joined his fave team who returned the favor by demoting him in the reserves since he is'nt used to their kick&rush tactics, maybe things will change now.
 
Good luck to Fowler. He is a nasty little shite but when he's on form he certainly puts them away! :)

Think Litmanen might be the perfect solution for Heskey. With his vision and passing ability he might get Heskey into positions where he might actually score. This would probably require Litmanen to fake the goalkeeper and defence, if Heskey is alone with the goal he might score.

This is uninteresting though, if owen is injured I bet they will play a defender up front as Litmanen seems to be a tad too creative for the LFC management.
 
just had a thought...
Rushie went to Leeds
Fowler goes to Leeds
is he following in his mentors footsteps?

also, if LFC do sign Barros, yet another Czech that means they will have 4 on their books...does that mean they will sign one of the midfielders as they will not all be able to get the 75% of games played for their permit? My moneys on either Berger or that new young midfielder they got last season buggering off..

Berger is fine re his passport as he has been in England 5 years.

Dudek, Henchoz, Smicer, Baros and Biscan are the problem passport brigade.

You could get rid of Henchoz, Smicer and Biscan and add an extra 5-6m to the 11m Leeds just paid you and then you could buy a decent striker to replace Fowler. Who would you go for Knoxy - seriously?

I dunno about Knoxy but if we could manage to get say 5m from those players you mentioned, and managed to get say....3m for Sami, we could combine the funds and go for "Goal King" Cole...

You do have to do something to that shite hole to get the fans in though don't you? Why not spend the money on placing VCRs under the seats of 40% of the stadium and make prematch announcements that thieving will be possible on weekends at Stabfield too? That'd bring em in eh?

all is not well in castle anfield :eek:
 
Incidently, Fowler, after completing his medical and sealing the deal - could make his debut on Sunday (Fulham?), will be on Fox Sports World in the states on Sunday morning at 10.00am PCT, that is if he plays.
(Chelsea vs. United will be on Fox Sports World on Wednesday at 5.00am.
Bookmakers have apparently slahed the odds on Robbie Fowler becoming the Premiership top scorer by May from 80-1 to 33-1 - a little extravagent and wierd in all honesty, seeing as with 3 goals he is still behind and whether he will hold down a reglular first team place at Ellan Road from now up to May is not confirmed.

Leeds will unveil him on Friday at noon, will the Liverpool fans be watching this I wonder?

He has just added a new instalment to his online diary on his personal web page, Fowler:

I'm sorry it's taken me a while to catch up with you here but things have been very hectic for me the last few days. I'm currently doing my medical at Leeds. I've got blood tests to be done and the surgeon here will be having a look at me later this afternoon.

I've had nearly 3,000 emails sent to my website in the last three days alone and I want to thank everyone who took the trouble to write. There's no doubt that the thing I will miss most about Anfield will be the fans. They were always top quality and gave me tremendous support through the good and bad times. Thanks to you all for your support.

Once the move has gone through, I'll have new supporters and I know all about how fantastic the Leeds United faithful are. I'll admit, it will feel slightly odd pulling on the white shirt for the first time but I'm a professional footballer and so it won't be a problem at all.

Come back later tonight for more news.

It's not a case of if - he's already signed and who is the 4th Czech?

Neither Shaun, uou're losing the plot mate, there are three options on the table and a decision is yet to be made but when it is I'm quite sure that David Moores won't have threats made on his life. :p

The world is full of nutters and it was proved some even pretend to be Leeds fans.
Three options? Stay and develop Anfield, Move to a whole?? new ground, whats the third?
Is the ground share with Southport still on then?
