Should Rafa give Fowler more contract?

Yes! Currently he in good form and he is helping Liverpool to win. Why on earth would you allow yourself to lose a player who is scoring. The current forwards are afraid of scoring!

He should join bolton wanderers

Depends,how much he ask for in terms of money! Benitez's argument against taking him back was solely on the basis of money:  SOld for abt £8m to Real n coming back from Real they asked for £16m...Was it worth it? NO.\n\nI reckon Owen should dig in at Newcastle especially when Shearer is off! Owen should get eth top spot and build hid profile again to raise interest of other clubs and be able to choose! Robbie Fowler is a good example! But he didn't worry too much abt MONEY!\nSo My answer to yoru questions is NO he won't come for atleast one season for sure!

I reckon he should be given a bit of time. he did save the Toon last season when he took over from Souness, so he's not all bad.\n\nHe's been unlucky with injuries. Giuseppe Rossi is currently his only fit striker, and he goes back to Man U in January. So you can see that his options are quite short at the moment. With so many injuries to key players you just know things aren't exactly going up for them right now.\n\nFor me, I would play Rossi and Luque up front.\nMidfield (L to R) Duff, Emre, Parker, Solano\nDefence, anybody but Bramble. That is one area he needs to imporve on during the January transfer window.

It's a good idea, but I'm afraid it wouldn't work in practice.\n\nLook at the talk about Beckham going to America.  They have a maximum wage, but the president of the team he is likely to go to will arrange sponsorship from one of his other companies to make up the difference.\n\nIt would be like Chelski paying Shevchenko £50,000 a week, but Abramovich plc sponsoring him £80,000 a week.\n\nAll we can hope for is that Abramovich loses interest, and Man Utd relocate to New York.

He should stay. Look how far the team made it with a very young team. Arsenal could be challenging Chelsea and ManU next season.

Thierry Henry doesn't like being under presure, and I think if he goes to Barcelona, he will not perform, and not last more than a season. He has to compete with Ronaldihno, Et'o and the rest, and I don't think he suits their style, he'd be stuck on the left wing like when he played for Juventus.\n\nHe should stay at Arsenal and lead out the team at Ashburton Grove, however, money talks, and if the deal is right get rid of him for £30 odd million and buy 4-5 replacements in.

Kuyt. Second is Crouch.\n\nBellamy is a waste of money. Fowler is over the hill and should retire soon.

very good player. He should play in a bigger club.

I think Torres will come to OT, probably not in the January transfer window though. Hargreaves is apparently going to plead with Bayern suits to let him move. I'd say Adu will most probably sign, unless he fails to impress on his trial. He must be one for the future though as he's training with (what's left of) the reserves. \n\nWe desperatly need a striker in January though.

If you guys are still second in the table come January I'll think he'll stay - you'd probably be able to do enough to convince him to hang on until the end of the season.\n\nIf he does stay and you aren't promoted I think he'll be off in the summer.  The lure of the Premiership will be too great...\n\nSo let's hope he keeps the faith in January and come May you're still in the top two.

He's worth as much as a club is willing to pay for him, and how much Man Utd are willing to release him for. \n\nHe currently makes around 40,000 pounds a week, however Man Utd are willing to double his contract to 80,000.

I am a firm believer, that should a footballer agree to a contract worth, let's say £40.000 a week, he should be entitled to half of what they earn, which would be £20.000, then the other £20.000 would be payed to the player, based on his performance, goals scored, then dedute payments on bookings and sendings offs.\n\nBy doing this, both club and supporters are getting there money's worth, with players putting in 100%every game and they can justify paying that amount to a single player.\n\nFor the footballer, this would be a good payment system, as they would have to play to there maxium level, if they wanted their full amount at the end of each wee. It would also improve disclinpary problems, which sadly today so many players lack.

As I mentioned at that time, Arsenal's most pressing need is for Fabregas to add 10-15 lbs. of muscle, while still being able to play football with his current finesse level-- otherwise, Arsenal are going to continue to get muscled out of midfield by the Boltons of the world-- Wenger is not going to abandon the midfield pairing of Gilberto and Fabregas (when they are healthy), for at least another couple of years-- he puts too much faith in his established veteran players for him to bench Gilberto in favor of a more physical enforcer against the brute-force teams, and Gilberto is not suddenly going to become a fast, intimidating enforcer, so this leaves the only other option of Fabregas maturing into a strong enough player to hold his own against those teams... I don't necessarily think this is beyond him-- he's not any much smaller than Roy Keane, and he's only 18, so he could add the physical size to allow him to dominate in midfield, if he makes it an off-season priority (maybe he can hook up with Barry Bonds' Balco connection, to follow in the footsteps of another supreme talent who was originally slight of build). \n\n2) I continue to find it ridiculous that any Arsenal fan thinks that either Clichy or Flamini would be a suitable or sufficient one-for-one replacement for Cole-- neither of them is ever going to be the attacking threat that Cole is.. if we want to be the most dangerous attacking team in Europe, we need to have the same kind of threat from the left (Cole) as we obtained from the right when Eboue emerged... if we get that, and Reyes and Hleb continue their progression, Pires and Ljungberg will become superfluous in another season (just as they have become superannuated)... but Sean Wright-Phillips (whatever his Englishness or Arsenal connection, which seems to count for more with the Islington-based fans than it does over here) is never going to fill that need for us-- he could be a good addition to the midfield, but we would still be left with a diminished left-side attacking threat, as compared with the days when Cole, Pires, and Henry were all on song. I'd take SWP, if he wants to take a pay-cut to come over and boost our midfield, but not at the cost of Cole. I could see a 3-way deal which involves selling Reyes back to Spain (probably Madrid), and then using the funds to buy SWP from Chelsea (if they'll sell reasonably), and then moving Hleb to the left and putting SWP on the right-- but that would make too much sense, so it probably won't happen

I wouldn't sell Defoe if I was Spurs. He clearly has his best years ahead of him. Newcastle already have Michael Owen who plays the speedy goalscorer role that Defoe also plays for club and country. In fact, they're considered to be similar players at England level that Defoe is Owen's first choice replacement.\n\nDefoe would score lots of goals at any club where he gets major minutes as a starter. 20 goals is a reasonable target for him every season.

His player signings have been quite a significant slice of this money - with the likes of Yakubu, Viduka and Mendieta joing the Riverside. I would imagine the big players also command a substantial wage.

I highly doubt it.  Last summer proved how much he's tied to the club.  \n\nAs for Real Madrid, they want everyone.  Being as good as he is, Gerrard is going to make the list.  Real's a spent force now, even with the stars they had stacked on the team. They are no longer the best in Spain, with Barcelona looking to dominate for years to come.  Be it Barcelona in Spain or Chelsea in England, Gerrard will still be fighting for that one title that's eluding him.  \n\nHe's the center of Rafa's so-called revolution at Liverpool.  At Real, he'll just be another player making the numbers.  I have yet to see an English player be respected on the continent.  Owen was the second highest scorer, yet he was seen as a surplus.  I have no doubt Gerrard will do well wherever he goes, but he's got plenty to work on at Liverpool.
