FOWLER: I AM SORRY
![]()
Liverpool manager
Robbie Fowler has issued an apology to fans of the club. This comes after a mix-up regarding the transfer of Argentinian winger
Nicolás Gaitán, who Fowler confirmed had signed for the club last night. However, the player decided to join divisional rivals Newcastle United in a shock twist, claiming that he was unprepared to be a bench warmer for Liverpool, and opting for more playing time. Fowler has assured fans that the same mistake will not happen again, and has apologized for raising their hopes. He told
Sky Sports that he was upset by Gaitán's decision but he understood it.
When asked if the budget that he had planned to spend on Gaitán was going to be used for another signing, he said "Yes, I have had a few names in my head for a while now, even before Nico (Gaitán) and I can confirm that we expect at least one more player to join the club before the transfer window closes. I can also tell you that we are looking for a winger to improve the squad, so that will be the main target." We should see who, if anyone, Fowler brings in during the next few days, and it is understood he has a large budget still to work with. If another player signs, it will be Liverpool's 5th signing of the window. It seems that Fowler is trying to improve the squads depth as well as quality. We will keep you updated on the transfer business going on inside Anfield.
