Ibroxblue 122 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Bluebirds ready for Fowl play Fri, Jul 06 2007 14:24 Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez insists Cardiff will be getting a "fantastic professional" if they lure Robbie Fowler to Ninian Park. The Kop chief allowed former England striker Fowler to leave Anfield at the end of last season when his deal expired and a move to either Celtic, Rangers or MLS appeared to be on the cards for the 32-year-old.However, the Bluebirds are thought to be in talks with the former Leeds and Manchester City hitman - nicknamed 'God' by Liverpool fans - as they look to bolster their strikeforce for another assault on the Premiership.And Benitez has urged the south Wales outfit to do the deal, telling the Liverpool Echo: "Maybe people don't know how good a professional Robbie is."I worked with him, Bolo Zenden and Jerzy Dudek, and the three of them were fantastic. Everyone knows the quality they have, but they were also real professionals." http://www.eatsleepsport.com/news_details....d=2&t_id=19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy 68 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 If Boydie is injured we don't have a natural goalscorer... Fowler would be a great player to rotate with, IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely 60 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 If we get Fowler, which I doubt, we would save another £1.5 million, so maybe SDM is looking into the situation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUE CYCLOPS 26 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I think Fowler would be a good capture. I have no idea what wages he would want but what a player to bring on whenthe opposition defence is tiring and you are looking to change the game.

Boyd is a goal mouth predator, and agreed so too is Fowler. The difference is, Fowler will leave the box to chase the ball and can hold the ball up.There is nothing wrong with 2 goal mouth predators in the team. Hately and McCoist were very similar in their play and they played upfront fantastically well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all he is 32 and his wages have to reflect that. Maybe he would sign for something between 7-10k Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 He's already said that wages are not a problem any longer. He's made his money, has a few buisnesses and just wants to play at a high level for a few more seasons. If we offered him a deal I reckon he'd take around £12-18k a week.He's still got the hunger, he's say's he's as fit as he has been in a long time. I think we really should consider making a move for him. If Boyd got injured we'd be left with no out and out goalscorer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikhailichenko 90 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I would love to see him at Ibrox but with our history of injuries and Fowlers it would probably be a recipe for disaster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
