Fowler weighs up MLS move

Robbie Fowler is considering a move to Major League Soccer in the summer after holding preliminary talks with New England Revolution coach and former team-mate Steve Nicol.

Fowler's Liverpool contract is currently set to expire at the end of the season, and Nicol would be only too keen to offer him a fresh start in the MLS. "We'd be interested in Robbie," said Nicol today. "But at the moment the first thing is the financial side. We've spoken, but as of yet nothing's been settled.

He's really just dipping his foot in the water here. It's something he's thinking about. He's getting his ducks in a row. Whether he gets a contract at Liverpool or whether he moves on, he's dipping his foot in the water."
The Revolution have been one of the most consistent teams in MLS in recent seasons, reaching the MLS Cup final in each of the last two seasons, only to suffer defeats at the hands of Los Angeles Galaxy in 2005 and Houston Dynamo last season.
But with star player Clint Dempsey having moved to Fulham in January, Nicol knows there is a need to rebuild, and has money generated by the Dempsey deal available to invest in wages.
