Fowler claiming Rooney glory
Perth Glory striker Robbie Fowler has made a tongue-in-cheek claim that Wayne Rooney is considering a move to the A-League.[LNB] Former England international Fowler claims he has chatted with his fellow Liverpudlian, who has confirmed this week he will not be signing a new deal at Manchester United, and hinted Rooney would consider a move to Western Australia.[LNB]He said on the Glory's official website: "Everyone knows I went home (and) it's probably only just come out lately about Wayne Rooney, but being in the football know, I found out a couple of weeks ago (that he wanted to leave Manchester United).[LNB]"I just had to come home and see if he'd be interested in coming to Perth.[LNB]"The signs were good. I was really pleased with the chat we had and we'll see where it takes us.[LNB]"I sold it to him and told him what a lovely place it is.[LNB]"I told him what I think about the city and he knows obviously all about a lot of the players.[LNB]"He's umming and ahhing at the minute, but it's looking good.[LNB]"He's very, very interested so watch this space."[LNB]Perth's deputy chairman Lui Giuliani said the idea was not as laughable as some may think.[LNB]"Well if and it's a big 'If', Wayne Rooney was out of contract, and Robbie Fowler could pull some strings we would love to have him at Perth Glory even as a guest," he said.[LNB]"If I said four years ago that Robbie Fowler would be playing for Perth Glory, I'm sure many people would have had a laugh."[LNB]
