Fowler - Bring him back

Liverpool Football Club - General Discussion

Postby fowler4ever » Fri Jan 20, 2006 5:55 pm

To me its not a question of if he is as good as he was, unless the time machine we all long for has been invented and I haven't been told, thats never gonna happen, but would he help us for a year or two challange for more trophies personally I would like to think so, I just think he can give us a certain something that we lack for a very small outlay and would give him back the desire to train and loose some of the weight (he does seem to have some weight though looking at the manure game).
Did we not show a keen interest in a player no to disimilar to Fowler in andy johnson and yes he is younger but no where near as clinical in front of goal and way over priced,

could be worth a very cheap gamble let him play some reserve matches and see how he fares, if he looses the weight and shows the hunger who knows could be good for the club if not what are we actually loosing against a 10 million odd for a poor duff diuof

You're arguement is that no-one else rates him. Mine is I rate him and i have the balls to go against the majority where as people like yourself, who can't judge a player, go with the majority.

Its highly amusing when people like you question my judgment on a player when all you do, is base your opinions on other peoples rather than what you actually see.

The point is, you've spent the last half an hour telling me how no-one rates Fowler? I've spend the last half an hour waiting for you to come up with reasons why you don't, yet all you can say is "because no-one else does". That says it all about you're knowledge of the game. You rate players like Carragher as "world class" Which i am quoting... JAMIE CARRAGHER "WORLD CLASS" because the crowd go with it, yet i bet 6 years ago, you wouldn't have complained if he was dropped. The slagging off he used to get and the times i defended him from idiots like you, crowd followers, people without there own opinions, now look at you all.

The fact is, my opinion of hims stayed the same all along because i was right in my judgement, yours changes more times than you change your boxies because you were wrong.

Lad, my points clear, back up YOUR opinions, or don't you have any?

Stu.......you're a funny guy, you really are!  let's see...ok right, back to the Carra arguement....seems you've missed the point (again) there.

You argued that players were born great and not moulded....my POINT was Carra started off as a squad player for us and now, 6 years later, he's WORLD CLASS......you understand that?  if not, re-read it and try again, it will answer your question...it says that he started off average/good and now is WORLD CLASS after being moulded with good training.  Get it yet?  good.

Reasons i don't rate Fowler anymore....well, i've said it a few times, but what the hell, lets say it a few more!  He can't get a contract at city or anywhere else......you get that?  He's a footballer who can't get a contract, ANYWHERE....now call me funny, but when noone offers a player a contract, it means that they (paid football manager) don't rate him....now how can this be?  They are experts who have scouts and stuff?!!?  i gues it's because they know, as i do, that Fowler is past it.

so now we boil down to the basic point....you think you're right and refuse to back down....why?  because you're an egotistical moron who thinks he knows it all, fact is you know jack!  Thanks for the entertainment, it's been fun, i'm off to bed!

So you can't give an actual reason for not rating him, other than a few sh*t managers don't?

Good reasoning, chump.  ???


These are the facts:
Fowler is a player who needs a constant run in the team to see the best of him. He is only the best when allowed to gain sharpness.

JC always had the ability he has got now, it's just that, as Stu said, he is playing in a system which highlights his strengths, and hides his few weaknesses.


I take it that in your little world, the same rules cannot apply to Fowler as he's a striker?


Make the world a better place lad, and grow up.

Lando, you seem unable to understand that Fowler has had plenty of runs in the Man city team, he's not the same player he was.  Hurling abuse doens't prove yourpoint any further.
in regards to Carra, i think he's improved plenty since he first joined the senior ranks of Liverpool.  He's more aware, he passing is better....he's improved as a player and if you think thats untrue, then you're the chump not me.

That is pathetic.

I was talking about Carragher from the Houllier days, not when he was f*cking 18. At 18 a player is still developing the physical attributes, so their ability should increase with thet.

However - Carragher has had his current abilities since about the age of 21, where his physical development had evened out.

Regarding your stupid claim that Fowler has had plenty of "runs" in the Man City team - are you on drugs?

One run of 3 games, and a couple of 2 do NOT constitute a good run of games.

I suppose you think that a gold-medal-winning gymnast, or a darts player, cricketer, etc should be expected to retain their status and form despite injuries and sporadic appearances?

Silly lad.

Every one should admit the fact that we would all love to see robbie play at his best in a red shirt.. the atmos at anfield would be amasing

It is not going to happen . we are not bolton and aprt from rafa trin to plug holes last year we are not in the market for journeymen players.. GH was a fool to let him go but got a very good price for him it just feels like he had some unfinished buisness with the reds and that is why this post divides everyone

Didi Hamann's smoked 20 a day for the last 10 years, whats your point? Vialli, I'll reapeat that, Gianluca Vialli, i don't know if you're old enough to remember him admitted smoking 40 a day throughout most of his career.

Stu,
In another thread you said Dean Saunders was "before my time".
So, how old are YOU?
By the way, I'm 35 and my dad's bigger than yours.

I think its all down to City's system?

:laugh:

Putting words in my mouth.

And yes, of course he'd score 30 goals in any team. Systems and tactics mean nothing in football do they. Look at Dwight Yorke for gods sake, a very good player at Villa, goes to the mancs and bangs 30 goals in.

Systems and tactics matter a great deal. Look at Sutton at Blackburn, 20 goals, a league winner, look at him at Chelsea, 1 goal in 20.

Don't sit there and say systems and tactics mean nothing. You don't even watch Fowler, why have an opinion on something you know nothing about?

You're a grade "A" arsewhole lad. You don't have clue and your arguement is a joke.

Stu, EVERYONE agrees Fowler isn't the player he once was, all except you.  A couple of mates of mine saw him and McManaman in Colchester, Essex getting hammered in a club, midweek....doesn't that prove how his 'dedication' to fitness and football has deminished.  of course not, it's all down to City and their tactics, thats why Fowler is overweight and 20 league goals in 4 years.  Best not to mention the fact that he only scored 28 goals in his last 4 years at anfield either!  :D



you make me laugh stu, you really do!   :laugh:

How old are you? I ask because you show a lack of intelligence and a lack basic human ability to grasp what i'm saying. I don't care in the slightest for other people's opinions. I say what i see. Other people will never, ever, ever, ever, strongly influence my judgement of players in the way it does to you. I am perfectly capable myself of judging how good a player is and i don't need an idiot to tell me otherwise.

Secondly, if you read through the thread, which so far on these last three pages you have failed to do as all you do is repeat a stupid and pathetic attempt at an arguement, you would see i've acknowledged he's 80% of the player he once was. He's not the same, he's not as good, i also acknowledged he's lost fitness aswell. Read through the post again child and have a look.

A couple of mates of yours saw him getting drunk? Really? Is that so? I saw Xabi Alonso and John Arne Riise :censored: three weeks ago with Luis Garcia who was stone cold sober in the panamerican club on the albert dock, whats your point? Just because someone goes out and gets bladdered doesn't mean they can't be fit. I have a friend who runs marathons, yet he's out with us every sunday.

The most amusing thing is about your arguement, not only is it completely immature, it has no foundation. It isn't backed up with facts, or knowledge by watching him play, you've admitted you last saw him once last season, probably on highlights and you state how he can't be any good because a few average managers say so. You then try to twist it and laugh it off because you simply can't come up with a decent arguement. You haven't once debated any point i've made with any credible arguement.

My guess is you're about 19-25 years old, were a failed Sunday league player at best, aren't from Liverpool, very rarely go to watch any live games (Especially at anfield, probably never been) and sit there in the pub claiming Sven's an idiot because he picks Ferdinand over Carragher and Beckham still plays for England.

Come back when you have a good arguement or actually have a clue about the game. I've spend the last three pages making numorous points, you've spent them telling us how...

"He can't be any good because someone else says so".

Says everything lad. Absoloutely everything.

classic stu....classic  :D

lose your argument and claim i'm a plastic  :D

well my last word on the Fowler subject is this (i'll lose the will to live if this goes another 5 pages)

He's a spent force who will probably quit the game within 12 months because his heart, nor his body, is in it anymore.  If he proves me wrong, great, but sadly i doubt it.

this whole thread surprises me. Fowler is a legend who belongs in the clubs past just like Rush.

Even though he is not that old he is well past his best, probably a combination of injuries and not treating his body like an athlete should.

If he was good enough to play for Liverpool now, don't you think Stuart Pearse would have him in the City team on a regular basis.

Accept it and stop living in the past - and yes, Elvis is dead too. :D

Niall, thats exactly my point lad.

Stuart Pearce's opinion means nothing to me. I know what i see, i don't need him or anyone else to tell me otherwise. You watch Shearer, he's past it. I don't see him scoring hatricks or crackers anymore.

Fowler isn't what he was, he's still a damn good player though. The arguement in the thread is based on the fact 7_Kewell doesn't have his own opinion, his whole arguement is... "someone else said he's not good enough so he isn't".

Thats a poor arguement.

Okay then - this to everyone - who are the 10 best English strikers at the moment? Let's see who everyone rates at the moment.

Other than Fowler, I make it...

Rooney
Owen
Crouch
Defoe
Ashton
Bent
Vassell
Johnson
Harewood
Heskey

If Owen and Rooney dropped dead overnight, and I had to pick an England squad tomorrow featuring 4 strikers, I'd have Crouch, Defoe, Ashton and Fowler. I don't believe for a second that anyone else on that list is better than the Robbie Fowler of January 2006.
