You kidding there bar we got £14 m for fowller when his career was over. He more or less never played again. Consistently. After that injury with the Everton goalkeeper and te drink he was not half the player and he was generally trouble too off the field. But in his day one of our best ever strikers for us yiou coud argue the best what a pity his career was over at age 26

Career was over? He played 30 league games for Leeds and got 14 goals.
Yeah, his injuries carried on and he only played about 50% of Leeds' games in his 2 years there, but his goalscoring record still speaks for itself.

I think I'm probably a bit biased towards Robbie Fowler because I love the man, and I in particular love the way he loves LFC, but by the same token, I think you're probably biased against him, Stan. You've shown a number of times that you weren't the biggest fan of him due to his personal troubles in his early career years. We all make mistakes, of course.

30 games is not a lot bar though is it and then bit part roles at city and so on. I think his career effectively finished after houllier sold him and he was right to sell him £14m was a steal. I am not biased against him I like him and before his troubles I would say a candidate for our best ever striker. But he did throw his Career away through stupidity.

It's a bit harsh to blame his injuries on 'stupidity'. It's not like he was an andy carroll type specimen who got injured falling off a bar stool when p1ssed! Or a gascoigne type who broke his own leg when trying to break someone else's!

From what I remember, his bad injuries came about in the 'line of duty'.

did he really get it so wrong with Fowler? fell away badly after leaving us adn you could argue was past his best. Anelka - breaks my heart

Houlier has Anelka Rafa has Alonso

cost them both their jobs, such was the poor return from their replacements.

CP1972 agree with you about fowler never sure about anelka though was brilliant for arsenal but average for us and never been more than just decent for Chelsea.

I honestly cant believe the current Liverpool football club actually have a player of Suarez' level he's unbelievable i tell my friends how good he is constantly but because their Mancs i get the "this is just Torres all over again" and its not, i genuinely believe Suarez is alot better than Torres when both are in form he's just unreal, theres no bias there either i find it so hard to hate Judas Torres for what he done and how he left but my word he was a premier league great for LFC no doubt even though he won Fook all with us and thats a shame.

People often always use "Anelka" as an attack against Houllier. Anelka didn't do very well for us at all. His departure was only a problem because of who GH signed instead....Diouf!!! Are people more upset that we didn't keep Anelka or are we more upset with his replacement?

Personally, I'd have preferred it if Houllier left at the same time as anelka and we didn't sign diouf!
