      Serious question.

      Would you be happy if we offered him a contrat until January. Use him as an option from the bench and use him to coach the other forwards?  No more "bbottom of the barrell" then other options being thrown about

      If he was anywhere near fit then yes I would..

      You don't lose the knack of finding the net and he is one of the best I've seen.

      Edit:
      As a coach first and foremost but if fit register him in case of disaster... See no harm.

       While I would love to see Robbie Fowler playing for us again I am afraid I have to be realistic and say his days of playing in the E.P.L. are long gone.By all means hire Robbie to at least show our goal shy forwards and midfielders how to put the ball into the net.

      I agree with this. Just a coaching role for Robbie now, although I really wish he was younger and fitter which would possibly make him a realistic option to bring in, but then he'd probably be contracted to another club.

      Judging by the amount of times I've seen Didi taking the piss out of him on Twitter for being fat, I'm guessing he's a bit out of shape!

      Completely idolised him but seriously this is getting embarrassing that we're linked with the likes of Owen and now Robbie. Even Robbie would laugh at the prospect of playing in the premier league again. He doesn't need his reputation tarnished by it and neither do we it's bad enough as it is.

      Not for me, but I'd love him to join the coaching staff so he can help the few forwards we do already have.

      No for me was bad enough watching the so called fans turn on a Liverpool legend like Kenny Dalglish, wouldn't want to see the same happen to god.

      Couldn't agree more, hit the nail on the end. Is this what it's actually come to?!  We keep trying to convince ourselves were being run properly and are heading in the right direction. But, embarrassingly, we keep being shown we are not. The lack of strikers/goalscorers is not a new problem. Even the so called relegation candidates are better equipped. Laughing stock

      One of my favourite players ever but a severe no from me. Doubly more ridiculous an idea than Michael Owen. How some can go on and laugh at the prospect of Owen yet give more dignified responses on this is beyond me.

      I would very much like to see what he has to offer as a coach though.

      I see no harm in getting him on the staff, we are obviously missing something like his killer instinct, his positioning etc, I think he'd do very well on the coaching staff.

      If we wanted some one with a killer instinct, we should have signed Ramirez.

      I agree with this completely, they say the things Robbie did you're not able to coach it's more based on instinct but if anyone could have a damn good go at it the man himself could.

      Him, Agger and Skrtel on set pieces would open up some holes.

      Just watching him on the legends tour putting the ball in the corners of the goal for fun makes me wish he was playing for us.

      I'd would love to have him back.

      Was a fantastic player for us but it's a no for me, he's been out the Premiership too long and he would struggle with the pace of it now.

      No.

      Coaching the forwards yes, but playing him would make us the butt of all jokes he is well past it.

      Watched him play in a sh*t league like the A-league and he struggled with fitness and the "pace" of the games at times.

      Silly to even suggest it would rather we give time to one of the young lads from the ressies to develop we are that desperate.

      Have to ignore my heart on this one and go with my head. There is a reason why no-one else in the premiership has given him a chance since he left us - he's too old.

      Possibly my favourite ever player, so the little kid inside me is screaming F**k YES! but if I done everything he told me to do I'd just sit round eating sweets all day and watching the simpsons.... hold on a second, that is what I do most of the time.... F**k it, sign him up!


      Haha :D In all seriousness it's a no. Would hate him to tarnish his reputation here if he doesn't save the day. He'd probably be better than Suarez in a 1 on 1 situation like.

      Could we get a poll on this? I'd like to see what the results would be compared to the one on Owen.

      No.

      Definitely could help on the coaching side especially with the young forwards although you cannot coach the natural finishing and predatory instincts Robbie had.

      One of my all time favourites but he is well past playing for us now.

      Maybe Robbie Fowler for the coaching staff or in an academy role. At this rate, Keegan and Dalglish will be linked with returns.
