Koptalk ED: Bring Fowler home and get Defoe while you're at it
If you hang out on any internet message board dedicated to discussing Liverpool Football Club, you'll know that there are things you can say to make it look like you really know what you're talking about, even if you don't.
You must know what you're talking about if you say that Robbie Fowler has lost a yard of pace and could no longer cut it at Anfield. Well you don't need a degree to work out that Robbie Fowler is no longer the young terror that he was but I think it's nonsense to suggest he could no longer ply his trade in a Liverpool shirt.
If you disagree with me you're saying that Neil Mellor, Florent Sinama-Pongolle and Fernando Morientes are all more capable than he is.
Neil Mellor would be more at home swilling a pizza down his neck with a 2 litre bottle of Pepsi than starting a game for the first team on a regular basis. Florent Sinama-Pongolle has been more impressive of late and isn't a player I'd be in a rush to sell but I wouldn't be heart broken if he was moved one either and Fernando Morientes has been a huge let down for me. He couldn't score in a brothel week in, week out. I was so excited when we signed Morientes but to date, he's not really done much to impress me.
It's been clear since Robbie left Anfield that he's no journeyman. His heart hasn't been in it at any other club and he dreams of returning to Liverpool where he became a legend. Yeh he's had bad luck with his injuries but finished he isn't.
He's available on a free transfer in the summer and I'd like to see him brought home. He may not be guaranteed a regular starting place but surely Robbie Fowler is a player with a few more years left in him yet.
Imagine the scenes if Robbie Fowler was re-signed. We're talking a free remember and he has said himself he'd play for the club for nothing if he could return. He's a player that I'd be happy to see coming off the bench as an option and who knows what could happen if he was given a chance.
I'm not one for sentimental, non sensical bullxx but I believe Robbie Fowler on a free strengthens the squad when you consider some of the lame strikers we have on board. He's only 1 year older than Fernando and he hardly needs to adapt his game.
It won't happen though because faces above the manager who were keen to see him off-loaded in the first place, wouldn't want to see him back involved because they know just how popular (and powerful) he is with the fans.
I'll be the first to admit that when he was at Liverpool I was highly critical of his lifestyle but I've always believed that was more about the company he kept and the people who wanted to set him up. He's now a family man and an astute businessman.
I'm no expert, I'm just a football fan but I believe those who continue to write Robbie off are the blind ones.
Talking of strikers, I'm starting to hear more and more about this Jermaine Defoe link. It is clear to me that someone, somewhere is trying to instigate this because of the number of stories circulating.
At a wild guess, I'd say Defoe has been told he's under consideration and now his agent is putting out these reports on a regular basis. He's certainly another striker that I would like to see signed. He's definitely a long term option.
