.. so take it with a pinch of salt, but coming to Old Trafford in January, Robbie Fowler? I'd like to see him play a few games to make sure he's not injured, but I wouldn't say no if the price was right even if he is a Scouse git. What do you think?
my mate's mate said...
- Thread starter kf
- Start date
Bet he got the idea from a wildly speculative piece in the Manchester Evening news then?
him and fergie are horse racing mates, so i wouldn't rule it out.
you'd have to wonder quite why leeds would be getting shut of him, though. . .

i've always thought fowler was a standstill type player. the ball comes to him, either he passes or he scores.. doesn't make much movement around the field.. but spetacular touches with the ball though - like jamie redknapp. on his good day he could probably partner ruud and still get 2 goals of his own.
worth a shot - at about 5m.

Story was that Robbie wanted to come to OT when he left Anfield but either Liverpool wouldn’t let him or he decided against cos of the uproar it would cause. It would be a bit odd Venables letting him go but maybe he wants to bring some more of his old trusted stalwarts in – eg Sick Note, to play alongside Barmby? It’s only a rumour…
It would sure piss Nate off, but despite this, I still wouldn't want that scouser playing for us.

yeah, that story was knocking around on merseyside for ages. fowler then moved to leeds 'cos he wanted to "play for a club which had more of a chance of winning the title".
smart move, robbie.</strong><hr></blockquote>

Kinell as for switching clubs for a player <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> What a joke. Sounds like this guy ahd an imaginary friend too, called Robbie. Sad cnut.
As for Fowler........ <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />
Forget it. Not good enough for United.
I would have taken him last year as he's the type of player we've always cried out for (until RVN), a 6 yard box player. But now he's not fit and as MOM said he's a bit flabby and probably not arsed although the way we look at the moment he'd probably fit straight in.
unsuitable player for the 4-5-1 or 4-4-1-1 formation. Fowler scores goals if he gets chances, but we need to create chances first!
Nistlerooy and Solskjaer are better finishers than the 'current' Fowler. Forlan works harder than Fowler ever will. Leeds were mugs buying Fowler off of us with his long injury and apathy record.
So naturally, I now hope you sign him too.

of the shit-stirring striker 'candidates' - Kluivert, Anelka, Zlatan and now Fowler - it's Fowler that must be the worst option. Why would Fergie buy him? It would be a sign of real desperation. Fowler's star has been in decline for far too long, he has a history of injury and besides his coke-snorting and LeSaux-baiting make him unfit to wear the jersey of any self-respecting club.
Leeds just sold Keane to accomodate Fowler. They wouldnt sell him now, never mind to us.
We should have signed Robbie (Keane) when he was on his way out. Fowler no way.

i don't see many of us fans sticking by the players.. it's annoying when our own fans say our players aren't good enough and need to be replaced.. i think we should love our players like that.. not just any particular, but all of them.. it's ok to say we need more effort, but it's not ok when we say they're not good..

Nice one. Couldn't agree more on that!
