Dave Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Crouch is the exact opposite of 'a touch of class', the ungainly giraffe geek. He's had a few purple patches in his time but generally I think he's pretty poor overall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustynrg Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I think we could get Bentley to come here, but it all depends on who's interested. I think we've got mroe to offer him than Blackburn for sure, but if a Liverpool/Arsenal become interested, we've got no chance. I hope not - Bentley is one of these spoilt England internationals like Ashley Cole and Jenas, we've had enough of those types to last us a lifetime. Anyhow he'll think he's far too good for the likes of us, he's so far up his own backside he'll disappear soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Would definitely want Crouch, he's a touch of class, would play in both Owen and Martins brilliantly. And I rate Hahnemann, he's reliable unlike Given and a great shot stopper and presence...I'm obviously disgreed with though. The rest of the team is an ambitious post Spurs thrashing comedown. Apart from the likes of Shorey, Muamba, Crouch and Appiah. He is reliable, when he's not having a mare and letting in 7 against Portsmouth. That was THE worst display of keeping i've ever seen.

Yup, horrible feeling that either that lot or everton will have a go, which would make any of our bids redundant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Hahnemann no chance, IMO he's worse than both Given and Harper (although Shay is in bad form). He's a decent stopper but nothing like the level we need. Also, if Reading stay up I imagine he'll finish his career there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shaun11177 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 This gets really difficult as you need different types of players if we are to play 4-3-1-2 as we are at the moment-no point buying wingers. All i know for definite is we need another Viduka type player up front and Crouch would fit that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Bentley is making noises about playing in europe, and becoming a part of the world cup squad. I have a feeling he will go to Spurs, and we will end up with Lennon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love it if Zog stayed and we had them two on the wings. If KK chooses to go 442. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicente_14 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Does anyone think we could get Manuel Fernandes? He's at Everton only on loan from Valencia, and would be an excellent addition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon55544 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Bentley should be bought at all costs imo, He would give our right hand side something extra. If Zoggy goes then we need a top class LW as well. An Elano type player is another player we are desperate for, someone who can open teams up.

STM Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Depends on how we intend to play. Bentley is class and would be a great signing but he's a right winger, so wouldn't fit into a 433 system. Shaun Wright Phillips would be more likely and a cracking addition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Does anyone think we could get Manuel Fernandes? He's at Everton only on loan from Valencia, and would be an excellent addition. Didn't Valencia spend something like £12m on him? Maybe a bit too expensive for someone like him I think, but then again I haven't seen him on that many occasions.

Aye but they cant be overly impressed if they have sent him out on loan. I honestly don't know how good he is but would suggest we could get him for 6-7m.

Wiki says Valencia bought him for £17m (!!!) so I don't think there's any chance of him signing for us for a reasonable fee. I wonder whether there's a permanent option in the loan deal with Everton and how much the agreed fee is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
