His best years are behind him and although his return has bolstered moral, i don't think a long term, 45k a week conract, would be a good move. Why? It's a LOT of money to pay a squad player....i think he's paid 15k a week by leeds at the moment, so we only pay him 30k.
Overall, i'd sell Cisse, Morientes, release Fowler and bring in 3 new strikers....1 being Owen.
1) I don’t know one person that said Fowler is going to be the Fowler of old, and if someone did they need help.
2) I’m quiet sure Fowler isn’t on £45,000 a week. I thought he was on £30,000 a week with Leeds paying half of it? So £15,000 a week on a 6 month contract is good business.
At the end of the day, were paying Fowler about 15/20K, his on a low risk 6 month contract and he is an improvement on what we have, considering all that it seems like it is a good deal.
And I wouldn’t be against giving him a year by year contract depending on how he does.
