Crouch signed for £6.5M!!!

[WeAreTheBest]

Same here, I think he's going to surprise a lot of people. Dave, do you think theres any chance we could get him tomorrow for a big press conference?

we now have Morientes, Croucn, Pongo and Cisse all different types of strikers which to use a rafa saying gives us very good options

what about Baros? or Mellor?

thats just a devisive debate

 

I expect those 4 to feature above those 2

[Christian]

We will increase our possibilities.

What have Schevchenko and Crouch got in common?

 

The only players this season to make Carragher look uncomfortable.

 

Let's give the guy a chance.He's probably not coming to replace Baros but Mellor.If Baros goes,we'll buy Kuyt or another striker.

I don't agree with the last part aws. I don't think we'd pay £7.5 million for a replacement for our fourth placed striker.

Sky reporting 7 million bid rejected

[Mark P]

Are we presuming Morientes and Cisse are first choice, with Baros next in the pecking order? If we get an Aimar-type link player, we may well play only 1 striker up front at times. £7.5m is alot to pay for anyone who is not gonna be first choice...

[Cardie]

Could have had Yakubu for 7.5 million.

Go and support Boro then if "Yakubu" is so great

[Cardie]

Making a comparison thats all.

 

7.5 million could buy you, it seems, a player who has had a six month purple patch or a player who has been the second top scorer in the prem over the last 2 (3?) seasons.

[Hoddy]

Bottle at a dropzone club is one thing, bottle at a club like Liverpool with your every move under the microscope is an entirely different kettle of fish. He's a player of limited ability and ridicoulously overpriced.

 

Agree about the overpriced thing but that's not our fault is it? That's the ridiculous price you pay for any English player whatsoever these. And yes, bottle at a dropzone club is different to bottle at Liverpool, but he's not Heskey, who hardly had the guts to take penalties. He's a player who's overcome public ridicule to become a possible signing for the European Champions, so up to now he's done extremely well for himself. Who knows, it may all go wrong for him here; he may fall on his ass or he may not, but it's harsh in the extreme to judge him and his character before he even pulls on a shirt.

Loads of Yakubus goals have been penalties and he's to similar to Cisse and Baros or do you not understand that bit?

[Cardie]

And crouch is similar to Morientes minus the talent.

 

PS: Penalties aren't goals then?

So then our 4 main strikers will be 2 of each instead of 3 strikers of similar style. Thanks for proving my point. Cheers.

 

Of course penalties are goals but seeing as you constantly ridicule Andy Johnson for it it's a bit hypocritical to start using that argument now. No wonder they think you're a prick on YNWA

[Cardie]

Baros won't be here at the start of the season unless they plan on letting him leave on a free.

 

Feel free to point out the posts where I 'Constantly ridicule Johnson'

 

Do they, I'm touched.

Jesus, there's bodies all over London and you two dicks are having some fucking internet hissy fit - get some fucking perspective...

Blimey we agree on something.

 

There are bodies strewn across cities around the world every day, there's no doubt a thread in the GF discussing the attacks at the moment, this however is the football forum and we're discussing football.

 

Not entirely sure what the problem is Moschop.

Exactly, 100s probably 1000s die in Africa daily no one mentions that constantly. Im sorry people have lost their lives today and my thoughts are wih the familys, if I could press a button to bring them back I would but I cant. My life isnt going to be affected so im carrying on as normal

[Cardie]

Yep.

 

Although we may as well call a truce.

 

(Even if I was right and Crouch is rubbish ;))

Hes going to surprise you fella. Trust in me! ;)

[Cardie]

Hope he does, I really do.

 

I have nothing to gain from him being rubbish so I hope he's a revelation but at the moment personally I can't see anything in his game that we miss or don't have apart from freakish height.

I asked Mellor about Crouch the other week. Not as part of the interview, just in conversation. I thought he might be a bit pissed off about it, but he was really upbeat and said he thinks Crouch is a very good player and he'd be happy to see him come here.
