I got some stats from Martin Tyler, who I respect as a commentator and as a footballing guru, he says:

"As you will see, there will be no more motivated player that will have moved in the transfer window than Robbie and that can only be to Liverpool's benefit. As you can see from below, he finds the net far more frequently that his team-mates at Liverpool in the league and on the rare occasions he has played this season - one start and four substitute appearances - he has scored four goals; his FA Cup hat-trick against Scunthorpe and one of the three against Manchester United in the derby.

Liverpool strikers league goal scoring rate

Player Liverpool / Games per goal /Career / Games per goal

Robbie Fowler 236 Appearances 120 Goals /1.97 / 346 Appearances 154 Goals / 2.24
Peter Crouch 19 Appearances 4 Goals /4.75 / 177 Appearances 54 Goals / 3.27
Djibril Cissé 36 Appearances 8 Goals/ 4.5 / 164 Appearances 78 Goals/ 2.1
Fernando Morientes 28 Appearances 6 goals /4.6 / 317 Appearances 121 Goals / 2.6

And from Steve Mc.

Waiting for God's second coming
By Steve McManaman

The city has been abuzz with the news of my mate Robbie Fowler's return to Liverpool Football Club and I, for one, can't wait to hear the Kop greet 'God' at Anfield tonight.

I'm thrilled he'll be wearing the red shirt again. I'm sure he'll be on the bench and he must have a good chance of getting on. Liverpool haven't got him back not to use him. He's scored some fantastic goals recently and he's very fired up, as you can imagine.

Rafael Benitez has said he formed the idea of re-signing him when he had a drink with Robbie and myself after Liverpool's defeat of Chelsea in the Champions League semi-final last May. We were celebrating with fans in the Pan American pub in the Albert Dock. I knew Rafa when I played for Real Madrid and he was manager of Valencia, and he loves talking football. Five minutes after reaching the Champions League final and he's thinking about where there is room for improvement. I can't recall any words that hinted at his interest in re-signing Robbie. Maybe it was Robbie down on his knees that gave him the idea!

Even before his transfer was confirmed, everyone in Liverpool had an uncle who worked in a factory with somebody who knew he was going to return. It was that kind of rumour.

The fans' reaction has been brilliant. Liverpool fans understand it's not about sentimentality. They know that Robbie's the type of centre-forward they need.

Their recent games against Manchester United and Portsmouth proved that they need a sniffer-type centre-forward, and that's what Robbie is.

The fact that he is a Kop hero makes a fairy-tale of what is a win-win situation for everyone concerned: for Robbie, who has made no secret of his desire to return, for Liverpool, who add a different dimension to their strike force, and for Manchester City, who, with Robbie off the wage bill, have signed a 20-year-old Greek lad, Georgis Samaras, who has lots of potential.

Stuart Pearce understood what Liverpool Football Club means to Robbie. It says a lot for him that he respected that.

Robbie knows he has a huge chance in these next six months. Cynics have said he's injured, or old, but I disagree. He's recovered from his hip injury and looks fit and well, and his instinct in the box is unerring. Look at his recent goals. His confidence is back too. Now he has a chance to make his mark in Champions League football.

There'll be pressure on him, of course. But when you're a centre-forward playing for Liverpool - the European champions, third in the league, playing some very nice consistent football - you're going to have three or four chances every game, rather than maybe one. Liverpool have five very good strikers now. He is going back to a club with a different manager, a different set of players, different ambitions. It is the perfect stage.

Since leaving Manchester City last summer, I have been working on Goal! 2, the sequel to Goal!, the film everyone has seen on a plane, which stars Alessandro Nivola becoming a fictional superstar at Newcastle United.

The second part follows his move to Real Madrid, filmed with my former team-mates at the Bernabeu. I'm helping to choreograph the training-ground action shots, check for authenticity in the dressing-room, and so on. The director gave me a cameo role. I was told to do lots of manic high-fives… a gesture that I hope Robbie will be making very often in the next few months in his Liverpool shirt.

Article from a City fan.

Why we'll miss the buttock-spreading, line-sniffing, glorified rent-collector

Simon Hattenstone
Wednesday February 1, 2006
The Guardian

I can't get the following song out of my head.
We all live in a Robbie Fowler house

A Robbie Fowler house

A Robbie fowler house

I'm walking round my house, which isn't actually a Robbie Fowler house, singing it louder and louder, to the tune of Yellow Submarine, till it becomes a demented bawl.

I've got a lump in my throat, and feel emotionally conflicted, as Sigmund would have it - betrayed yet weirdly ecstatic. Robbie, aka Blobbie, aka the Blobster, has just told us what he really thought of Manchester City: nothing. He's walked out on us to return to Anfield, his spiritual home, for a huge pay cut, the promise of a contract till the end of the season, and a seat on the bench if he's lucky.

And this is the gratitude he shows to City fans. "I'm so happy, it's frightening." With every word he plunges the knife deeper. "I can't believe it's happened." Then he gives the knife a twist. "Just to put on that red shirt again will be amazing." And another. "Leaving was one of my biggest regrets in football." Judas.
Just in case we've not got the message Liverpool manager Rafa Benítez adds: "I don't think I've ever seen a player quite so happy to be joining a club." The headlines, of course, trumpet THE RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL SON.

Why? Fowler is a blobby has-been, a coke-alluding scally (remember the line-sniffing celebration for which he was fined), a glorified rent-collector (at the last tally he owned 84 properties including half of Oldham, and was the Premiership's wealthiest footballer with £28m) and a gay-taunter extraordinaire (the buttocks-spreading gesture he made to Graeme le Saux, then falsely rumoured to be homosexual, earned him another fine). What's more, he used to wear a ridiculous plaster on his nose.

So, am I bothered? Well, yes. Why? OK, here goes. Robbie had just started scoring after another long injury absence; he was still very possibly our best player; he cost £6m and we were giving him away for nowt; he is bound to have an amazing two years at Liverpool, win an England recall and score the winner in the World Cup final. We've never had our own prodigals - players who would do anything to return to City, their spiritual home (that is, unless you count Kenny Clements, a right-back with a great afro who never successfully crossed a ball in 241 games); but we do have a history of players bursting out crying when they score for us against their true loves (Denis Law's backheel that confirmed United's relegation).

Most important, though, Robbie is a character, he makes me smile. Just think of the time he took off his Liverpool shirt to reveal another shirt supporting the sacked Liverpool dockers - yes, of course, he was fined for that as well. In his own way he is also a good sport - he was praised by referee Gerald Ashby for admitting he'd not been fouled at Highbury after a penalty had been given.

My favourite sketches on the brilliant football show Soccer AM featured (a fictitious) Robbie and Steve McManaman on a couple of swings discussing the "issue" of the day. They went something like this:

Robbie: "Terrible all this racism in jails, eh Macca?"

Macca: "Yeah, awful. But what can you expect in a country where racism is institutionalised?"

Robbie: "Yeah, it does make you think Macpherson has had no impact."

Macca: "Spot on, Robbie. Change has to be evolutionary and organic."

Robbie: "Yeah, come on Macca, I'm bored. Let's go and buy a house."

The sketches would never work with Beckham or Lampard, no matter how many houses they owned.

Even in his short stint at City he provided memories. In his first few games he seemed like a recovering stroke victim trying to remember things all over again - it looked as if he'd never headed or chased a ball in his life. Gradually it all started to come back. Despite his apparent failure at City, his bloated belly and lack of pace, he finished top scorer last season. When interviewed just after his comeback hat-trick last month, the reporter commented on the fact that they were his first goals in eight months. True, Fowler said, quick as a flash, but it was also his first full game in eight months.

Fowler grew up an Evertonian, but ended up the ultimate Liverpool Red. A few weeks ago he scored City's third goal against Man United, ran over to the United end and stuck up five digits. The four fingers and thumb represented Liverpool's five European Cup victories compared with United's two. As far as Robbie was concerned, he'd scored the goal for Liverpool not City against United. Perhaps that is why so many supporters love him - because, more than anything, he is a fan. It's just a pity the ba.stard isn't a City fan
