<p class="big">Port Vale have confirmed they have made an approach to sign former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler.</p> The League One outfit have joined a host of clubs chasing Fowler, who has also played for Leeds United and Manchester City.</p> Leicester, Cardiff and Sydney FC are reportedly interested in Fowler, 32, who became a free agent at the end of last season after his contract with Liverpool expired.</p> However, Port Vale chairman Bill Bratt hopes the lure of regular first-team football could attract the former England forward.</p> "We've approached Robbie Fowler's agent to see whether he would be interested in playing for Port Vale," said Bratt.</p> "We can offer him regular football and at his age that may be what he is looking for.</p> "We obviously can't afford to pay him what other clubs can but he's a very wealthy man anyway and we hope he may want to play for the pleasure of it.</p> "You don't go from being a brilliant player to a bad player overnight and we think he would be a superb addition for us.</p> "It's a chance for us as far as I'm concerned. We've asked the question and if the answer's no, it's no."</p> Fowler's agent George Scott told the Sentinel: "I've had many a good night in Stoke-on-Trent, so you never know.</p> "Robbie is ruling nothing out, especially if it is an ambitious club and he can see himself going there and taking them up to a new level."</p> Fowler has scored 162 Premier League goals and has also netted seven international goals in 26 England appearances. </p>
Port Vales wage budget is 1.4 million.</p> I can't see them having the money for Fowler.</p> (wicked) </p>
Sydney FC talking to Robbie Fowler..... </p> 'Marquee (marquis?) player and all that... like Beckham at LA Wotsits. Like ar Dwight a couple of years ago. Tony Popovic is finishing his career here, too. Getting better this league.... mid-div1 I reckon.</p> Also,check out Nick Carle who is just getting a run with the Socceroos. I spoke to him twice last year and tried to get him go over to Barnsley 'cos he wasn't getting a chance at the national team (the best players go overseas and are favoured). He said visas were a problem with the UK. He has gone to Fenerbahce now.</p> </p> </p>
Robbie Fowler..... spotted in Sydney today..... </p> His manager stepped in front of the camera but it was too late...... it was on the News. I hope he signs</p>
