I don't think it's fair to compare Danny Mills to Fowler.
Mills doesn't get a look in for City because he has been rubbish. But when he did play he at least gave it his best shot. Yes, he may have turned down moves because of wages, who knows, but I bet he'd like nothing more than to get back in the first team picture here.
Fowler, on the other hand, is one of the biggest disgraces to have pulled on a City shirt in recent yers.
The man was being rewarded with wages that were staggering - much better than Mill's I would guess. Yet time and again he just refused to conduct himself in anything approaching a professional manner. From the first time he stepped on the pitch you could tell he didn't want to be here and wasn't interested.
He gave up on his career because he was sulking that he wasn't still the top Liverpool striker he had previously been. A few goals don't make up for the bulk of awful, disinterested performances he put in as a rule.
The man even has the cheek to admit as much in his book. Every week he was taking thousands out of the pocket of City fans, obscene money, whilst knowing tht he didn't give a shit and was short changing them.
Even worse, when he signed for Liverpool again he had the gall to state publically that it would mean that he now trained harder and worked to get fit properly.
Was £60,000 a week or whatever he was on not enough to encourage him to get fit here and train hard?
At least Danny Mills, when not injured, is theoretically fit enough to pull on the shirt. Fowler was never fit enough to play decent football whilst here and that was almost solely down to his own attitude. Never mind his mythical depression over having a hip injury.
This man was a parasite at this club and has little equal in recent times.
No doubt he now intends to rob his Aussie employers. one of the biggest disgraces to his profession that I've ever seen, regardless of his natural talent.
