Let's hope he gets off to a flyer against Arsenal.
Blackburn have agreed to sign Robbie Fowler on a three-month pay-as-you-play deal, with the striker in line to face Arsenal at Ewood Park this weekend.
The former Liverpool frontman, 33, has been training with Rovers since Paul Ince took over as manager in June.
And Blackburn chairman John Williams has revealed a deal has been agreed, adding: "We hope it's done this week.
"If we go ahead on that basis and get it registered then if the manager wants him, he would be able to face Arsenal."
Fowler, currently a free agent after leaving Cardiff during the summer, is the fourth-highest goalscorer in Premier League history having had two spells at Liverpool as well as playing for Leeds and Manchester City.

Fowler is not an appropriate replacement we need someone younger with energy and a goal scoring record

Fowler was also offered a pay-as-you-play contract with Cardiff for this season but turned it down after receiving the chance to have a trial at Blackburn.
Ince said last month that he hoped a deal could be done with the former England international.
"I've always said he needs to get his fitness and sharpness and now we are seeing signs of that," he told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"He's a world-class striker. If he can get himself fit he'll always score goals at any level."
