Fowler is currently on the market after North Queensland's recent financial dramas meant player contracts are up for renegotiation.

Sydney are keen to talk to the 35-year-old in the hope of luring the former Liverpool star to the harbour city for next season.

Having lost  five players from last season's championship-winning squad, including marquee man John Aloisi, Corica and defender Simon Colosimo, the addition of Fowler would be a major acquisition for Vitezslav Lavicka's side.

But it's believed one factor holding back Fowler's move to Sydney is some members of the cub's coaching staff have doubts whether the veteran's ageing body will withstand another full season in the A-league.

It's not a concern to Corica though who is convinced Fowler would have an even greater impact on the league next season if he was to link with Sydney.

"He scored nine or 10 goals last year playing with Fury so I'm sure if we can do well again next year, (Fowler) will score a bundle if he comes to Sydney," said Corica, who is now a member of Sydney's NYL coaching staff.

"He's obviously a fantastic player but I think he would also be perfectly suited to the way we play. He's very good on the ball and there's not many better finishes than him around.

"We've got a few players missing for next season and obviously we're going to have to replace them with the right players.

"If we can get players like him to come in, I think it's a great replacement."

It would also give Sydney the most feared attack in the competition with Fowler to link with Alex Brosque and Mark Bridge in a potent forward line.

"You saw in the first part of last season anything he got around the 18-yard box he put away," Sydney midfielder Stuart Musialik said today.

"If we've got him up front it's good to know any chance we create for him he'll have no problem putting it away. To have him joining the likes of Brosquey and Bridgey is really exciting."

"I'm not sure where it's at but hopefully it happens."

Corica said Fowler's contribution to Sydney wouldn't just have its benefits on the field but also through the turnstiles.

"He's marquee player, he's from England and we've got a lot of English supporters in Sydney," the 37-year-old said.

"If you want to get the crowds in I think he's a great way of doing it ... he'd put bums on seats really."
