Heard he said hes not a Rangers fan as he supports Everton would prefer someone else from Liverpool tbh

Robbie's not for me.

Robbie first of all isn't good enough and he's a liverpool fan why would he be a everton fan ? he has played for liverpool since he was 18 or something but wasn't good enough so got sold.

Obviously he supported Everton and played for Liverpool like Jamie Carragher

Had to Wikipedia Fowler to check a few facts. The first thing that surprised me is he is still only just turned 32. That utterly amazes me as his career has been on the slide for about 8 or 9 years when he ceased to be a first choice at Liverpool. I remember at the time thinking how the edge/ sharpness/ pace had gone. I didnt realise he was still only about 23 or 24. Thats very young to decline and almost certainly down to him being a party animal. He has had a funny carerr so far this decade, constantoly blighted by injury a lot of the time although his goals ratio is still impressive. Personally I would be disappointed if we signed him cause strikers are usually (Larsson aside) losing their edge about 33 or 34 so it would be a really short term thing and would waste resources on huge wages. He could certainly do a good one season turn in the CL for us but that woud be very short sighted. The pressure for CL success could tempt such a move but I hope not. I say NO.

He certainly used to say he was a big Rangers fan. I remember the intervews/articles. He may have seen the light since.

I read now he was a everton fan when he was 7 and when he was 12 he started to play for liverpool school boys so I think he more fond of liverpool.

Hopefully its a load of shite ,And predictable shite at that.

As soon as i heard he was leaving liverpool i instantly thought 'HA HA The huns will defo go for him' , i was even going to start a thread in the other football section a few days ago saying just that .

surely to fuk we have bigger fish to fry than him , he's fkn finished

davie_glasgow · 15-05-2007, 10:34 AM

the story was on the scotland today early morning news,it just says that hes out of contract and will be available in the summer,it goes on to say,rangers and celtic are interested,,

i remember seeing him in a interview while at the hight of his powers saying,,he was a massive rangers fan,,so my guess if true,, he,ll go there

p.s. it should be on the scotland today website

Don't the huns have a 15k wages cap except for Bawwy obviously?
In his book he denies he was a Rangers fan.Just followed some of the Everton players who went up there.

Not good enough for us anyways.
File under Wright,Dublin etc etc

ChampionsElect · 15-05-2007, 01:17 PM

Robbie F has said years ago hed love to play for the huns

SwoopingVulture · 15-05-2007, 01:59 PM

He'd still do a job for us in the SPL but we'd have to pay big wages for someone that can't cut it at a higher level. That's why we bought McDonald.
