BlueSuedeSambas 53,775 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I was watching his episode of that Premier League Legends that's on Sky Sports and some of his goals were I'm aware he played in a couple of testimonial games for us but I've always thought he would have been brilliant in a Rangers shirt as a direct replacement for McCoist in Advocaats team and I've always wondered why it didn't happen? Obviously he would have cost a lot of money, but we were splashing the cash at that point and his move to Leeds must have happened at roughly the same time we spent 12 million on Flo. Was he a player that you hoped you would have seen at Ibrox back in the day and was he ever seriously or strongly linked to us? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie1963 2,352 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 My friend who works for a major Insurance Co gave Rangers sn Insurance quote for Fowler so we definitely considered signing him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogtanian 252 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I've always wondered this too there was a lot of rumours going about at the time he would sign it just never happened. I would have loved it if he had signed for us as he was a goal scorer, on another note I remember we were on the brink of signing Jardel but couldn't get a work permit I think, now that would have been a signing if we pulled it off.

WATP-FOREVER 5,231 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Robbie Fowlers hero was Trevor Steven and from that he's always wanted to play for The Gers. No idea why it never happened. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he a player that you hoped you would have seen at Ibrox back in the day and was he ever seriously or strongly linked to us? Pretty sure Leeds got him for around £10m-£11m. Andy Cole also left Man Utd around the same time for less than we paid for Flo too. Just shows how reckless we were with that money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three goals in 5 minutes against Arsenal ain't bad for an average player. To be honest he would still put the ball in the back of the net even now ( not sure about the legs), he certainly would have been a stand out player if we had signed him even 5 years ago.

IMO the wee guy was brilliant for us, and didn't cost that much either, maybe a million at the time. Remember he scored winner in SCF v the Tims. Oh PS I've just had a horrible flashback to the Shelbourne game as I'm tying the above. That game was absolutely nuts eh. We went 3 nil down and won 4-3 or was it 5-3?? Was that not Advocaats first competitive match in charge? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

teddybears1872 129 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Would have loved to see Robbie Fowler at Rangers, Wished it had happened, If i mind right David Murray looked into signing Alan Shearer. If we had signed Fowler,etc, I wonder who we would have not signed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
