FOWLER SET TO SIGN ON AT BLACKBURN

It is being reported that Cheeky Scouse Scamp Robbie Fowler is to seal a short-term contract until Christmas by Premiership side Blackburn Rovers and could well feature in their squad to face Arsenal this weekend.

Fowler disgracefully walked out on Cardiff City this summer in favour for training at Blackburn after agreeing a 1 year deal at Ninian Park.

Fan reaction in Blackburn was muted with reports of Fowler looking as slowly, lazy and unfit - just as many observed him at Cardiff wondering why we were offering him a new deal anyway.

Incredibly, Fowler - via his agent - approached Peter Ridsdale a fortnight ago asking if the offer was still available. He was given a curt response. The thought had crossed my mind that Fowler was once again using City. If we had said yes, it would have been perfect leverage for him to get a better offer from Blackburn who, initially, were offering a week-by-week deal.

All I can say is Blackburn and Ince must be desparate to want Robbie. I really expect to see him do absolutely nothing there.
