Stop saying that. You make it sound like he doesn't train or something. He came good at a young age that's all. He was the completed item by the time hes 21/22. But he trained everyday before that nothings natural
@@rage8kage no….that’s how u are taking it….I’m stating my opinion and u are coming across as an internet know all….who I bet knows nothing about anything 🤣….I’m not saying Fowler didn’t work hard…I’m saying I think he is one of the best natural goal scorers I’ve ever seen.
@@rage8kage listen carefully as I will only say this once and then I will block u….the ability to make goal scoring look easy and effortless! It’s not difficult to understand but then being a know all I’m sure u already know that 🤣👋🏻
People forget the significance of Houllier and how he was importing in modifying the club… there was a “old school culture” that needed to be engineered out of the club and unfortunately Fowler was a big part of that culture where he and Phil Thompson constantly clashed… look at the list of players houllier sold im that short period of time Razor ruddock Mark Wright Dominic Matteo Phil Babb Paul Ince I loved Fowler he was my hero growing up but the team was evolving and Fowler at that time didn’t change his ways… They had an offer from Leeds they couldn’t turn down at the time and accepted the offer… the guy scored a hatrik and three days later was a Leeds player …
One example I remember is when Theo Walcott was in contracts extension negotiations with arsenal the fans were on his case constantly until he signed. Yet he had the biggest clubs across Europe wanting him on a free transfer ie. Barcelona, Juventus etc. He stayed "loyal" to the club and fans then within a year or two he was sold to a smaller club because Arsenal didn't want him anymore. Lost opportunity for him to better himself and his family's future because he felt pressured to stay.
And clubs before that were earning millions and paying players a pittance. Sky pay teams 90m a year in TV rights because they want to see footballers play, not chairmen or admin staff. Damn right the players get the money.
'Loyalty' is demanded of players by fans only when they're deemed to be good players. Like when Van Persie left Arsenal, he was berated for lack of loyalty because he was their best player. Yet I didn't see half as much loyalty from Arsenal towards Kieran Gibbs, Fran Coquelin, Serge Gnabry, Fran Merida, Niklas Bendtner, etc. Loyalty from the club to those players didn't matter a jot because they were deemed 'not good enough!'
He was always injured then blames Arsenal for not winning. Same with chamberlain. It’s one thing to move on but totally different when they try and justify their own deficiencies. Robbie left cos of Michael Owen who then jumped ship on a whim for Real. Liverpool should’ve kept Robbie imo
Heskey was great that treble winning season Robbie is a great guy but he peaked at 20 By the age of 25 it was obvious that his best days were way behind him.
He was good enough to the point that Leeds signed him for £14m. And he was still decent when he returned after all those years and injuries. Liverpool won’t ever have a better striker than God. Hopefully we have others who are nearly as good.
He’s a very hard working business man with wages to pay he’s in property nowadays you think he just goes on holidays every month and lays around on a beach werdio
Houillier sold Fowler and spent the monies 6 month's later on El Hadj Diouff. We could of done with Fowler that March (2002) when we played Leverkusen in the Champions League
When players are negotiating their multimillion pound contracts they market themselves a a buy able commodity. If another club offers them more money, they are off. Stop whining Robbie. Be thankful for what Liverpool gave you.
It’s not for the clubs to show loyalty it is for the fans to understand why the players have to consider their own interests first and foremost sometimes
I've always thought this. I don't expect any loyalty from footballers. I'm an arsenal fan and I didn't like it when rvp left us but I understood why he did it and why he forced the move
Back in my day, most players only played for one team their whole career and only married one bird. Nowadays, players are transferring like changing clothes and divorcing when the bird stops putting out. No loyalty nowadays.
Flower makes a valid point, if the flu won’t keep you hair for loyalty, you don’t need to stay just for loyalty. It’s a free job market, that’s what it is. And nothing more.
Obviously a club will move u on if your not good enough anymore,liverpool are not going have ian rush still playing up front at 60 ..once the contract is honoured than they can do what they want after that .fowler was a great player for Liverpool tho
So players get given 200k per week by their clubs come rain or shine and he's bitching about loyalty. You are a commodity in every job in any walk of life. If you lived in the real world for 5 minutes you'd know that so just be happy with the thousands you get paid and the millions you have in the bank because your club paid you. This is why as a lifelong football fan I can't stand it anymore. It's like the players and ex players talk as if they're wronged all the time when they should count their lucky stars. This guy was good for about 3 seasons then got fat and couldn't be arsed to train properly and look after himself to keep the weight off. All the while getting paid tens of thousands in the 90's and early 2000's. Poor footballers. Really feel for them.
I mean the clubs pay players very good money to people who in real life would be down the job centre for the most part so I'd say the clubs are very loyal
Players need to pull their weight. The manger is always the one that will get sacked if the team isn’t performing. The players aren’t performing. There should get there wages docked. NFL rules
Fowler should have shown some loyalty to his wife before talking about it from others. He was also paid 10k a week by Leeds to play for City, rather than take a pay cut to stay at Leeds.
He left liverpool for leeds because he was being black mailed for sniffing and couldnt afford the fee, he asked liverpool for a pay rise and they wouldnt give it an leeds would....
Yeah, shame hes not as good at interviewing as he is at talking football. Interrupts too much. Imagine someone with parky skills interviewing all these great guests
He was becoming bad PR Line snorting episode and Houllier’s ridiculous excuse/defence Going out in town and getting into altercations. Architect of his own demise
Paying players the most ridiculous salary , making every player very wealthy where money for you and your whole family , including the ones won’t even born…..I’d say that’s loyalty right there. And sorry again GOD, but it’s very normal in sport that once you are nit at that top level anymore…of course they will let you go and replace you.v Now the loyalty GOD is talking about here…was actually shown to him. Liverpool didn’t want to sell you mate. In your own words, you left because you was no longer in the starting line up. Which is fair. Not sure what ya want to be fair…..what else do you want Robbie? Allowing you to stay and be part of the squad k is very loyal. And while paying you your contract.
Cry me a river, no top manager or club owes a player anything in the name of loyalty. They have to think about results. This isn't difficult. If youre not good enough anymore you should be booted out no matter how long youve been at the club.
Robbie Fowler was one of the best natural goal scorers I’ve ever seen
Stop saying that. You make it sound like he doesn't train or something. He came good at a young age that's all. He was the completed item by the time hes 21/22. But he trained everyday before that nothings natural

@@rage8kage some people are just naturally talented...but you wouldn't know anything about that
Tbf, pretty much every business in the world, their staff are a commodity, regardless of whatever BS they spew
What a striker he was
People forget the significance of Houllier and how he was importing in modifying the club… there was a “old school culture” that needed to be engineered out of the club and unfortunately Fowler was a big part of that culture where he and Phil Thompson constantly clashed… look at the list of players houllier sold im that short period of time
Razor ruddock
Mark Wright
Dominic Matteo
Phil Babb
Paul Ince
I loved Fowler he was my hero growing up but the team was evolving and Fowler at that time didn’t change his ways… They had an offer from Leeds they couldn’t turn down at the time and accepted the offer… the guy scored a hatrik and three days later was a Leeds player …
It's a shame Houllier didn't have the vision to accommodate Robbie and Michael in the same team. Houllier consistently picked Heskey over Robbie 🙈
Well Heskey was the lord..not only houllier,fabio capello also did the same by put him in england squad for world cup 2010..
So did england .

Players and their agents screw every penny out of clubs, very few deserve loyalty.

@@philwill0123 It's not about who gets the money, it's about who pays it. And it's the average fan.
Exactly
What a goalscorer he was in his early years with Liverpool FC. One of the best goalscorers in the EPL.
Im an everton fan but i 1loved watching robbie play a part from agaimgst us. He has always seemed a nice and very knowledgable guy.
He was some finisher. One of the best I've seen.

Houllier was starting Emile Donkey over Fowler. Jesus!
Heskey was great that treble winning season
Robbie is a great guy but he peaked at 20
By the age of 25 it was obvious that his best days were way behind him.
@@nicholasjones8572heskey worked very well with Owen
In fairness, Heskey was a great partner for Owen
@@nicholasjones8572lol that wasn't a real treble.
@@Phil_Mitchellwinning 2 major domestic trophies, and 1 european trophy.... what would you call it?
It’s the fans that are the problem. As a Leeds fan, I’m still reeling that we sold Rio but the fact is we HAD to sell him, so I need to GTFU 😂
He looks rough😮
Hes a scouser
Needs a good hair cut
Yea, he lived in Cardiff for a bit 😮
absolutely, loyalty is a two way thing, that goes to all employers out there. Sad thing no one cares anymore about anyone.
He was forced out of Liverpool by Phil Thomson
He was good enough to the point that Leeds signed him for £14m. And he was still decent when he returned after all those years and injuries.
Liverpool won’t ever have a better striker than God. Hopefully we have others who are nearly as good.
He is delusional
You’d never guess he’s got a few million quid. He looks like he’s been dragged through a hedge backwards!
He’s a very hard working business man with wages to pay he’s in property nowadays you think he just goes on holidays every month and lays around on a beach werdio
@user-fl1fh5tz7w, calm the F down 🔔 end, he was only stating that he is rough looking!
Hahaha head like Wurzel Gummidge, legendary player though, one of my favourites for Liverpool. A class act in his day.
Guess he spent a lot too
21 yr old ken dodd
Looks rough
He looks like he still has some vices.
Yeah, vices, good lad. Hes having fun.
He looks a bit stressed, maybe has too many bevvies to let off steam
Isnt he about 50?

Every employee is a commodity known fact always being like this always have being.
The smile went from Robbie's face when he left us then returned big time when Benites signed him back on for his last hoorah .
I've always thought this. I don't expect any loyalty from footballers. I'm an arsenal fan and I didn't like it when rvp left us but I understood why he did it and why he forced the move
He was one of the best strikers in the league
Zammo from Grange Hill has let himself go!!
What a scorer in the 90s..he looks like a drunk now...😂
Some man to talk about loyalty after his last few managerial jobs.
Spot on robbie
Imagine Robbie, Rooney, and Suarez in Liverpools front 3.
Robby liner 😂😂😂
Loyalty is a strong meaning
Football is money N money is made by good players.
Robbie has eaten a cart full of pies!
Is LFC fans have always loved you brother
Back in my day, most players only played for one team their whole career and only married one bird. Nowadays, players are transferring like changing clothes and divorcing when the bird stops putting out. No loyalty nowadays.
Yawn.......players have been moving around since football began. Selective memory.
Simon looks like the old man from the movie "Up".
He left Liverpool because he doesn't suffer from asthma.😂
You're a footballer not a brain surgeon. It's the nature of the business to change the team.
Flower makes a valid point, if the flu won’t keep you hair for loyalty, you don’t need to stay just for loyalty.
It’s a free job market, that’s what it is. And nothing more.
DEAR LORD 😂😂😂
That’s great robbie but you can stay untill your contract runs out. Ultimately it’s up to you and your agent
Man Utd with Mark Hughes.. still annoyed.
Obviously a club will move u on if your not good enough anymore,liverpool are not going have ian rush still playing up front at 60 ..once the contract is honoured than they can do what they want after that .fowler was a great player for Liverpool tho

I think Liverpool are too loyal now. The money Thiago, Keita and Ox have earned for not playing has been incredible.
At £10m p.a. I sincerely hope you'd be treated as a commodity !

Noel could play better then liam ever could.....
MONEY MONEY MONEY £££ITS NOT A GAME ITS MORE THAN THAT
Age is brutal
You mean you didn't realise you were a commodity when asking for a pay rise?
Well what do you expect a club to keep you when you are not good enough
Behave your self, you made millions
Slipped In club owner haha skill
He left liverpool for leeds because he was being black mailed for sniffing and couldnt afford the fee, he asked liverpool for a pay rise and they wouldnt give it an leeds would....
Football is a business not a sport
Gerrad AND Fowler are not managerial material
So how long has Robbie been sleeping on a bench?
Simon is quite relaxed and knowledgeable when talking about football, unlike...
Yeah, shame hes not as good at interviewing as he is at talking football. Interrupts too much. Imagine someone with parky skills interviewing all these great guests
Where are his eyebrows? It looks like he’s shaved part of them off 😅
He was becoming bad PR
Line snorting episode and Houllier’s ridiculous excuse/defence
Going out in town and getting into altercations. Architect of his own demise
We (Leeds) ended up paying your salary long after you left. Stop moaning, Fowler...
why does he look like a Gerbil
Just shave it off, Rob.
Typical scouser, thinking 💭 he's the best
He left because he was a liability and couldn't stay fit.
Ken dodd ?
He was a liability who liked his drink and drugs too much
...where has he been sleeping??...😮😮😮
Paying players the most ridiculous salary , making every player very wealthy where money for you and your whole family , including the ones won’t even born…..I’d say that’s loyalty right there.

Love the cope in the comments. 😂 broke rival fans mad that fowlers a club and league legend sitting on millions. Cope and seethe ❤
Cry me a river, no top manager or club owes a player anything in the name of loyalty. They have to think about results. This isn't difficult. If youre not good enough anymore you should be booted out no matter how long youve been at the club.
Fowler was good enough. It was Houllier's short sightedness that made him sell Fowler, decide not to sign Anelka long term, and instead sign Diouf.
Looking terrible out here 😕
You were on the slide and your goals per game wasn't great really .... You made plenty out of Liverpool! Dry your eyes
Another entitled Scouser.
This is pathetic😂 that's life and capitalism!
I think fowler is delusional over how good he was barely had 30 caps for England great finisher but not world class
X2 terrible hair
looks awful
No one cares
I know aging is inevitable, but Robbie seems to be doing it quicker than most.
Obviously wasn't good enough, you would've got your game if you were
