i'm afraid you're wrong.

fowler was not a leader, he was entirely the opposite and wasn't really captain material. owen is more important to liverpool than fowler ever was, and great as fowler was way back when, he shone all the more and received all the more because our team was fecking diabolical.</strong><hr></blockquote>


hence this is why i'm truly a United fan.. i know jackshit about liverpool!! hahaha.. not that i know much about United according to my fellow posters..

i guess i have no choice but to agree with you MOM... but then, how come fowler had so many followers? if he was no material for anything then why was he so important?

because he was a toxteth scally mate, and the local supporters identified with one of their own done good.

that and the fact that ability-wise, he's one of the best strikers i've seen in my life. his first 3 seasons with liverpool, he was fecking incredible, i mean absolutely brilliant. but then after owen's emergence, he just lost it. his head and attitude went, he got injured regularly and never worked hard enough to fully come back from the injuries so he'd get injured again due to not being match fit. . .

maybe this could change at United..

hold on.. tell me something, out of curiousity.. why do liverpool players get injured all the time? i mean, they would just drop like flies in rotation, one after another, season in season out.. is it because their physios are not good enough?

like United, i know we get injuries, but never the extent of liverpool's players.. why is this?
 
Robbie Fowler was the only light in a dark decade for our club. A cheeky scouser with incredible talent. I for one will never, ever forget how he lifted up his shirt in support of the Liverpool dockers.

Or that time him and dirty Graham Le Saux got into a fight <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> that was so funny! Or when he scored a hat-trick in under five minutes against the Arse, or when David Seaman brought him down in the penalty area and did his upmost to stop a penalty being awarded, when he took the penalty he put it wide on purpose, only for McAteer to score instead.

Along with the goals he scored against the likes of Man Utd and Everton. The man will always be a god in my eyes.

But just to tell you I read this story about him going to you on tribal football, so I wouldn't believe a word of it! :D

you have to admit that fowler does produce magical stuff when he can.. he's a natrual talent..

i agree other players at United work harder.. but for a guy who can play only 20-25 games a year, he may be a worth it buy at about 5m.. i think he's capable of producing good stuffs.. i've always believed that fowler was more influential to Liverpool than Owen ever will be.. people took him for a leader.. not just someone who could score goals..</strong><hr></blockquote>

In which case I urge you all to write in to Fergie to offer Leeds 15 million for him. ;)

Seriously though, you seem to be overlooking the white suits, the Mcmanac*nt influence, drinking, weight problems, more drinking, busted nose, clubbing, drinking some more, lack of fitness, white line sniffing, and finally drinking.

I loved Robbie Fowler and I thought he would be the best striker this club had ever seen. He would have been as well if he hadn't got injured, then couldn't be arsed with his life. As it happens, we have a young true professional called Michael Owen who helped us live without Robbie.

Good luck to Robbie, but he is a wasted talent like Gazza post-Lazio.

he would only be worth it for about 5m. leeds got fooled for that kind of money.. fowler's value dropped like a fly in just 1 or 2 seasons.. what a shame.. if you guys sold him earlier he would have made much more for the club in terms of finance.. hehehe..
 
Fowler put in one of the best performance I've seen an opposing youngster at Old Trafford, he was still a teenager I think, and scored two great goals, a match made memorable because it was Eric's return from his long ban. Eric grabbed a draw for us with a penalty, but fowler was brilliant that day.

However, he's gone downhill since his heady days at Poo, and considering his apallinng injuries and poor fitness, I'd only consider him if he was on a free AND he has to take a huge pay cut.

I remember that game (it was on Sky a few weeks ago). Fowler pushed Neville off the ball on the left turned and struck a beauty with his right foot. This is Fowler, not Goater - don't get them mixed up. ;)
 
No Dipper Bastards at Old Trafford Campaign President me.
Over my dead body.
Fowler can feck off.
 
I personally have always said he was a very standstill player, lacks any kind of running or movement skills, if he were on a real cheepie id say maybe shearly because of our lack of goal scoring at the mo.
 
Fowler is a bad copy of OGS. what we need is ronaldinho type and not Fowler. OGS is much better than the arrogant scouser
