THE ROBBIE FOWLER WORLD TOUR CONTINUES IN 2008

IT's NOT UNUSUAL TO SEE ROBBIE INJURED ...
... BUT IT IS UNUSUAL TO SEE HIM ON THE PITCH

Calamity Robbie makes the news again for the wrong reasons. The superstar signed by Cardiff City to great excitement in the summer who has never attained full fitness, looked bulky and struggled immensely to make an impression is hardly ever available for his £15k (or is it £25k) weekly wages and is off abroad for more treatment.

This time, according to today's Echo, he's heading stateside for an ankle op. This follows last month's reported trip to Germany for hip injections. The player is said to be gutted and determind to prove himself, rumours of retirement have rarely gone away and his career, fitnees and ability appear to be in decline and fans have probably now had enough of the Robbie Fowler Circus. It was always a gamble and I'm afraid it appears to have badly failed but at a significant cost to Cardiff City Football Club.

We can only hope we see more of Fowler in the second half of the season and he shows what a talent he once was. I got a horrible feeling however that we won't get that at all.
