Crouch to reject reds for Spurs
From the sunday mirror


CROUCH GETS HIS SPURS Jun 12 2005
GIANT HITMAN SET TO REJECT ANFIELD OFFER
By Paul Smith

PETER CROUCH will reject a move to European champions Liverpool in favour of Premiership rivals Tottenham.

Liverpool are expected to close in on Southampton's valuation of Crouch when they lodge a second bid of £6million for the towering marksman.

The relegated Saints rejected their initial opening offer of £5m four days ago.

But Crouch, who began his career at White Hart Lane, has been made aware of interest by his former club who have asked to be kept informed about his situation at St Mary's.

The Saints are resigned to losing Crouch after he held talks with manager Harry Redknapp on Friday and made it clear he wanted to move.

Crouch's advisers have also informed chairman Rupert Lowe that their client's international ambitions would be damaged by playing outside the top flight and his current wages of about £3,000 a week are totally unacceptable when Liverpool are prepared to offer him around £25,000 a week.

In the event that Crouch does leave, Redknapp also favours a move being brokered with Tottenham which will enable him to strengthen his squad with two players on loan.

Re: Crouch to reject reds for Spurs
Gotta love the article labelling Tottenham as 'rivals' as well.

Re: Crouch to reject reds for Spurs
I don't mind if Spurs are labelled our rivals, or if people think Peter Crouch rejected Liverpool, if he wants to go there, I'll pay for the flight/train/taxi myself. Just leave us alone fella.

Re: Crouch to reject reds for Spurs
What a bullshit article. Obviously something the Rupert Lowe PR machine c(o)oked up, cos a deal with Spurs would see his club get a few easy loans the other way.

Face facts: no player in their right mind would choose Spurs over LFC.

And a striker moving to Spurs will have more competition for places than if they move to Liverpool too.

Re: Crouch to reject reds for Spurs
Talk on TV this morning that Harry Redknapp was going to Spurs. Some journo on the box said this, so could be a bit of advanced business by Harry...

Sunday Mirror are on form at the moment aren't they. Why no follow up to their 'Gerrard to leave for £50m' this week I wonder...

Re: Crouch to reject reds for Spurs
I noticed somebody posted on here in the last week under the name of 'PC'. It's obvious what's happened - the Crouchmeister has been among us and has been scared off!

Wtf? Please tell me Rafa isn't that stupid! It would be bad enough paying way over the odds (6m) for a squad player, but then offering him 25,000 a week is just ridiculous. Thats over 8 times what he's getting at southampton, no fucking way.

Re: Crouch to reject reds for Spurs
The whole article is bollocks, so I wouldn't pay any attention to the so called wage he'll be getting. Guesswork, thats all it is.

And no way will he turn us down for Spurs.

Is right.

I believe he's originally from Macclesfield (top birds they have there) and wants a move back "up North".

Re: Crouch to reject reds for Spurs
I heard he's from there too. He's got a cockney accent though hasn't he? Or have I just imagined that? Anyone remember hearing him speak?

You probably can't hear him speaking for the wind noise and constant blizzards - appar
