Would be a decent pick up for any team.

Robbie's already recruiting his own scouse gang. He's been very good when I have seen him this season. Hope he doesn't go to the Mancs.

could definately do a job, not sure how many games he'd get for us though.

[jimmylibel]

So who has tapped him up to you reckon?

 

Arsenal?

He's a scouser, playing for City, who was all set to come to us at one point. Can't see it

Robbie Fowler PI.

[Stigger]

City must be gutted after they stood by him through all the troubles he's had and now he's decided he wants to go. I'd have him if we didn't have 4 or 5 central midfielders already.

[Guest Red Mist]

Anywhere but here, thanks.

 

City are doing alright, why does he want to leave? Does he think he's too good for them? 'cos he's not, far from it.

[Vlad JNR]

They've rejected the request.

 

Seems to be something over contract discussions.

 

They've offered to double his wages and now he has put in a transfer reques, according to sky, although people close to barton say its not about money

[Scally Bob]

Barton? No, I don't think so.

 

Modern-day Davey Thompson.

[anny road]

he is trying to force there hands

 

he'll get his contract

I'd say he was better than Thompson to be honest. Not saying we should go for him or anything but I think he's been great for City this year, I wouldnt be too displeased if we got him. Wasnt he on the TV a couple of weeks ago though, saying he only wants to play for Man City ??

 

Reckon he's a poor mans Gerrard though.

[Ian Brown]

Good player I reckon, although it's hardly like we need to strengthen that area of the team. He'd jump at the chance though...

[CarraLegend]

I'd go for him if we're willing to let Hamann go in the summer, think he's a cracking player, the "sign so and so because he's scouse" I find is the most irritating argment ever but this lad is a quality player imo. He'd walk straight into Utd or Arsenals team so i'd be surprised if either of them dont go for him.

[Guest YKI]

You listening to Merseyside, Mr Brown?

[Guest DjibriLFC]

Would anyone like him to join Fowler at Liverpool, would be a very good squad player if not 1st teamer, anything can happen as we all know.

No mate how come? Just got a phone call about it. He'd be well up for coming here but can't see how it would be feasible. He wouldn't be the right player for our weakness (right hand side).

[Spike]

Hope he's not off to the bad side of Manc

They were just talking about in on Merseyside. Anybody hear that blert of a blue going on about how we'd wasted £30 million on strikers and then went on to talk up Beattie? Oh dear.

Yeah me too - i'd be extremely shocked if he was though to be honest. He's very fond of Liverpool these days.

Anybody hear that blurt of a striker saying how when he's fit he's unplayable?

 

Oh wait....

According to teletext City have rejected his request so I dont imagine he'll be going anywhere soon.

[Guest Kev]

Spoken to someone who knows him and we have not been mentioned.

Joey Barton, handed in a transfer request...

 

Did he stub it in Pearce's eye?

 

Seems a bit drama queen like, handing in a transfer request with only one day of the window left open?

Fella on the panel, a regular on the show just goes "Evertonians live in the World of reality." The irony of it.

[anny road]

as I said in the General...he is forcing there hands

 

he will get his contract I imagine
