Fowler Bid Turned Down - Ipswich Town News

Town are reported to have had loan bid for Robbie Fowler turned down prior to the recent emergency loan deadline. The Blues are also said to be ready to renew their attempt to sign the former England striker when the transfer window opens in January.

Fowler is currently out of favour at Eastlands with Darius Vassell and Andy Cole both doing well after being recruited by manager Stuart Pearce in the summer. Fowler's only senior appearance came in the 1-1 draw with Manchester United in September.

Joe Royle's former club would have to continue paying Fowler's wages if the ex-Liverpool frontman was willing to move to the cash-strapped Blues and City were happy to allow him to leave.
