I'm spechless.....

Good, he was going to waste at Leeds. I don't think it was the right move for him. He should bang in the goals with Man City's fast-paced attack though.

Fowler & Anelka.

Eep.

Oh my god,

thats a nice strike force.

Note-to-self Mr.Houllier

gwan city

football365 says he still has to agree personal terms, and seeing as he couldn't do that first time around it might not be a done deal yet?

Best of luck to Robbie if he signs. Probably exactly what he needs, should make a lethal partnership with Monsieur Anelka in time.

If only Liverpool had a striking partnership !

Have City still got to play liverpool? I would wet myself laughing if they both scored.

He hasn't signed for Man City yet. He still has to pass a fitness test and agree personal terms. Venables is alleged to be pretty p*ssed off as it seems that Ridsdale sold Fowler without consultation with El TEl.

If Keegan had as good a nose for defenders as he has for strikers City would be fighting for a place in Europe and Newcastle would have won the league at least once. Thankfully he doesn't.

Space Coyote · 14-01-2003 2:40pm

Well he did sign Distin from Newcastle. He's wasn't bad, and he tried to sign Reiziger on loan, who was quite good back in the day. Pity his other defenders are complete spanners, but they could get into the UEFA Cup, they're only 3 behind the Pool I think...that can't be right, can it ???

:eek:

Fowler agrees terms and takes wage cut. Thats that then.

Mike.

nasty_crash · 14-01-2003 8:36pm

Delighted for Fowler!! hope he does really well at City as it would rightly piss El Tel off as keane is doing so well at spurs! Sure viduka isnt playing well at all this season and smith is suspended every second game and bridges is injured(unlucky fella). Jesus the two robbies will be delighted!! and el tel wants to buy stan lasaridis!! great thats exactly what he needs another left sided player along with - Harte, Kewell, Wilcox!! and yet he has no strikers performing!"!!

smackbunnybaby · 14-01-2003 9:07pm

yeah i hope fowler shows us all again what a prolific striker and finisher he is. injury free he is devastating.*

*(now fowler no longer plays for liverpool i can now say he is a great player peeve)

Johnny Gomez · 15-01-2003 9:17pm

I'd say this is his last chance to shine thanks to that move to Leeds. But I think he'll knock a few goals in and who knows, maybe Sven will be calling in the next few months.

Congoose · 16-01-2003 5:51pm

The move has just fallen through, apparently.

Glad in a way, i hope Alex Ferguson now has the sense to step in and buy a proven striker who at 28 is in his prime and who's available for a bargain 7.5 million.

I really couldn't see the pride of Toxteth turning out for Manchester United. I don't think either party would be too keen on that scenario.

Sposs · 16-01-2003 6:31pm

theres no such thing as loyalty in football, money talks,example Figo - Barcelona to Real Madrid.

TwoShedsJackson · 16-01-2003 6:48pm

The difference being that Figo didn't want to leave Barcelona - but what choice did he have after the club sell his registration to Real? None.

Sposs · 16-01-2003 7:02pm

if he really wanted to stay he could have dug his heels in and brought Barclona to Court to up hold the terms of his contract,he left because he was offered more money plain and simple.

Space Coyote · 16-01-2003 7:15pm

I'm actually surprised Suralecks hasn't tried to sign King Robbie, a proven goalscorer. Can't understand why he's supposably going for players like Bellion of Sunderland, that German lad Klose and some other muppets aswell.
If Man Ure had Van the Man and a fit God up front then I'd be worried that they could win the poxy treble again !

Not gonna happen though thank Jebus
