ads Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Anything that contributes to ransacking the toxic culture that has got us relegated is fine by me. Crouch isn't very good but I bet worse players have done fine in that league. The dressing room has needed a complete personality shift for years - more experience, too - and if Rafa feels like a veteran like Crouch is going to benefit the squad them I'm not gonna doubt it. Plus Crouch is good crack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Crouch People are getting carried away a bit and remember Rafa signed some proper duds for Liverpool too Crouch was decent back then to be honest. I don't really want him now, but if he was back up to the first team for a season then it may work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I'd imagine Crouch will be a dirt cheap transfer fee due to his age. A one year contract wouldn't be a problem. His height and hold up play would obviously come in handy. I'm sure he could do a job in the Championship. We don't want to sign too many players on long term contracts who may not be up to the Premiership if we get promoted. Also, we need a squad not just 11 players. He may bring Abbey Clancy with him.

mattypnufc Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I'd have him to be honest. Experience and he's actually technically decent. Injured a lot but if he was on a pay as play deal then it'd be worth it. He'd win us some points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 We have Ritchie & Aarons for the wings dont we, where would Ibe play? None of the 3 would expect bench time. Aarons has done nothing to warrant a starting spot man Eh, he's been pretty quality whenever started in his actual position. Injury has kept him out, not ability. If he's not getting a consistant chance at championship level he wont be staying here like. And when last was that? That guy is a squad player to start the season. No way he can be trusted as he never stays fit, and has not played a full memorable game in over a year. Ive no problem with bringing in someone to challenge the position, im just saying if you make it Ibe you're likely writing off Aarons career here as i doubt he will stay personally. He has loads of potential & has been misused. If he doesnt play much in the championship, we wont keep him. Though he's played less frequently, at his best i've seen more from Aarons than Ibe.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I wouldn't say Aarons has been misused, he's been constantly injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Crouch would be as low risk as it gets, tbh. Free, probably cheap wages, won't necessarily play much, has attributes that our other strikers don't have (ie height), could probably do a job in the division - plus he's a good pro and has experience. Would be a solid signing imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Crouch would be fine for a year IMO. Good lad to have around, might teach Mitrovic a thing or two, probably grab a small handful of goals, low fee etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I wouldn't say Aarons has been misused, he's been constantly injured. He was our best player in pre season last year and didnt get a look in. Mclaren then only gave him any real time at left back. He was available for 16+ games last year, he wasnt injured as much as made out. At times he just wasnt in the squad or was benched.

joeyt Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Bobby Zamora chipped in with some crucial goals last season for Brighton who nearly got promoted so Crouch could be a decent signing for us to provide a plan B when plan A isn't working Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 If Crouch comes in then I'd imagine Mitrovic is off. Having two strikers of that ilk, who have zero pace is a bit of overkill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
