Stu Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Crouch is a very handy, intelligent player, and I hope we don't sell him. He and Torres play very well together. Reverse psychology? Not at all. I rate him more highly that Kuyt--Crouchy has a bit of class about him, even if he has the elegance of a drunken giraffe. It really helps who he has playing around him and they movement they make off the ball. He would have those same types of player here and sadly would be very exposed I think he plays well with Owen, not that you're having Crouch, like. That's lucky, because he's still s***. Plus, the Crouch-Torres partnership is the same as the Kuyt-Torres or the Babel-Torres partnership - Fernando makes anyone look twice the player they are. I mean, he makes Steven Gerrard look like a "brilliant" footballer for Liverpool, when anyone who's seen Ingerlund play knows that he's not that great... Because all the other England players shone so brightly under McClaren? I thought Scott Carson came away with a glowing reputation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 If we are going to pay 8m+ for a striker, i say we get Berbatov why would he leave spurs (in the uefa cup) for newcastle who arnt in europe? if he leaves he will join a champs league side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 If we are going to pay 8m+ for a striker, i say we get Berbatov Reckon we need a RM more, why don't we get C. Ronaldo for £10m? If we are prepared to splash out 8m on a striker of Crouchs ability, i say we put more money in to get Berbatov. Thats my point. Sorry if some thaught i was implying that we could get Berbatov for 8m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 SSN's saying he's on a free at the end of the season. I guess they mean he can buy out his own contract if he wants too same as Dunne. The way Liverpool have treat him i'd say there's a good chance Crouch leaves for a couple of million max. We should be making out interest known imo.

brummie Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I would be very unsurprised were Crouch to turn up back at the Villa this summer. I was told it was going to happen in January, but it didn't, but I can see it happening this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I started a thread a few month ago saying City were after Crouch with Steven Ireland going the other way. (can't find it though) The reason it didn't happen in the last transfer window was the injury to Voronin as it was (i was told it was) agreed in principle between the Clubs.

Guest MagicNumber9 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I never used to want crouch here when mentioned in past, but when he gets a game for Liverpool he scores, and we need a goalscorer, instead of blowing 6mill on smith if rather have put it towards Crouch.. if we can get a sniff near 6mill back for him we should sell and if Liverpool will let him go at. reasonable price we should take him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest johnson293 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 From Todays 'People'.... 1 June 2008 HOTLINE - Toon to stun Pompey with Crouch bid EXCLUSIVE BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE By Martin Hardy Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan wants to hijack Portsmouth's bid for Peter Crouch with an £8million deal. Crouch is ready to quit Liverpool after becoming a bit-part player under Rafa Benitez. Pompey boss Harry Redknapp is a big admirer and moves have already been made to take the player to Fratton Park. Redknapp will pair Crouch, 27, with Jermain Defoe and give him all the starts he wants - a sticking point for the player at Liverpool. Crouch, on England duty in Trinidad and Tobago, said: ''I played nowhere near enough games last year, I accept that. I think I need to play more regularly. You have to be playing football to be noticed.'' But Keegan sees the beanpole striker as the ideal target man to lead his side next season. He wants to recruit experienced Premier League players who are on the fringe of the England side - and Crouch fits the bill perfectly. Keegan also reckons he can persuade stars who are not playing regularly that they stand a better chance of impressing England chief Fabio Capello with first-team football at Newcastle than sitting on the bench elsewhere. But Keegan faces a fight to get his targets through the door at St James' Park this summer. Toon football director Dennis Wise believes the Magpies should go for France hotshot Bafetimbi Gomis. The London arm of the club's recruitment staff, led by Wise, wants young players in the hope that their value will rocket once they gain exposure in the Premier League. Crucially, they have the backing of billionaire owner Mike Ashley. Landing Gomis, however, will not be easy - or cheap. The St Etienne striker, 22, scored twice on his full debut for France against Ecuador and has attracted interest from both Milan clubs. Newcastle and Manchester City are battling it out for Deportivo La Coruna's £10m-rated Argentine defender Fabricio Coloccini, whose agent will talk with both clubs this week. Bit more media bollocks in there intimating that Ashley is backing the 'Wise' team, and not Keegan. And, heres the Wiki page on the Argentinian defender mentioned above... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabricio_Coloccini Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 could live with crouchigol for that price - would be more than adequate filling the viduka role as he's pretty good on the deck in tight situations, deceptively so, and is more mobile than viduka as well wouldn't be the worst signing we ever made that one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 and isn't coloccini a bit of a fanny? probably just his '80's mop top hairdo influencing me but he always struck me as an anti-argentine defender, i.e. a bit of a fairy and not the usual hardman type they produce who can mark someone out of a game stand to be corrected on that one mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
