Fowler has joined The Reds until the end of the season, with his City contract due to expire in the summer. A Liverpool statement confirmed the move, and read: "Liverpool Football Club are delighted to announce that Robbie Fowler has rejoined the club on a free transfer from Manchester City until the end of the season when the situation will be reviewed."
The 30-year-old bagged over 170 goals in his nine-year spell from 1992 to 2001 - and he will now get the chance to add to that tally. The last time Fowler scored for Liverpool was a hat-trick against Leicester in October 2001 - before he signed for Leeds. Rafa Benitez has decided the time is right to bring Fowler in, and the Spanish tactician will hope that his goalscoring expertise can rub off on the likes of Peter Crouch and Djibril Cisse - who have at times struggled to find the net on a regular basis during their time with the club.
This has obvioulsy shocked me and a number of other people around the world. You may forget that Fowler still is only 30 years of age and that if he can create anything like the form he did the first time that he was with the Merseyside outfit then all the plaudense will go to Rafa Benitez, but if it dosen't work out, Rafa will look like an ejit.
I know Liverpool fans will be very pleased with the signing of their hero but City fans will be getting worried if Pearce dosen't bring in another striker in the January transfer window because at the moment they only have two senior striker in their ranks.
