I got nothing against Crouch, he is not as bad as many of you think he is.
But the thought of buying a "Fifth" chioce Liverpool striker for £8M is just not right. Liverpool's fifth striker at Juve, WTF ??? I am still living on a planet called Earth.

Maybe not about everything, but surely about a lot of things :p

And just wait until you have a GF, then you will get that feeling right away, and she'll make sure you'll remember it.
Doesn't happen to me because of my superiority complex.

The mere fact that you conclude everything about him on the basis of a Robot Dance shows how stoned you are.



Watch how effective he is as a football player.Not as a model.
Anyway i prefer Palla and Giovinco.We also have Paolucci and Volpato.So we don't need any new strikers.If we sign Crouch the whole world-even Binter-will laugh with secco...

Again, that 's all what he is , a tall man with a silly dance, he's slow, he cant dribble, he cant create chances, he's benched by crappy players like Bellamy, plus he's not the best header either

If you really want him to play Trez's role then who's the stoned now?

CROUCH?????? I CANT BELIEVE IT

Tell me where i mentioned him taking over Trezeguet's role and ill go and get stoned for real.When Del Piero was benched by Zlatan,did that make the former a crappy player?When Shevchenko gets benched by Drogba,does that make the former a crappy player?Your logic is ridiculous.He's a tall man who can hold the ball well,contribute to the attack very well,score goals,and be a very effective team man.Last season he was probaly Liverpool's best player along with Carragher.Benitez preffered Kuyt-Bellmay upfront but that doesnt make Crouch a bad player.You mention the Robot Dance again and again,as if thats the sole reason that makes you hate him,go take a hike.

Could you please read my last post again??
Being benched by Zlatan or Drogba is different than being benched by Bellamy, that's very obvious !!

About Trez role?? do you want to play him instead of DP? I dont think he can be a second striker, so he plays instead of Trez or he can benched beside Iaquinta

Maybe he's a GOOD player that's all, he's not and never will be a class player, he's not worth playing for Juve or Liverpool.

We have to think big cuz we're a BIG club, we always bring the best players, world class players, so what happened ??? since when we look for average/good players

Finally Crouch <<< Zalayeta , he's completely useless since we cant cross

AND HE DANCES LIKE SHIT :p

His tallness should be his plus, but actually its his minus. He is too weak to win the air balls, he is to tall to be good small striker, his finishing is medium class. Actually i don`t know why we should buy him, i would better choose Boumsong on attack than Peter :D

He's not crap in the air actually. Just because he's 10 cm taller than most CB:s it doesn't mean he has to get the 20 goals a season on headers alone. It's not that simple. He's a decent player and good enough for Liverpool but there's no way I would like to see him in Juve.

    That's true Esteban, I would see more of a European player like Zigic in Juve, rather than EPL striker in Crouch. Although, Zigic just moved.

    I rather Zigic than Crouch, too. But I am not sure if Zigic would be useful to us right now. But uhm... I suppose since he's tall, he could be good for heading away balls. Can he be used as a central defender? :D

    Crouch can leave Liverpool for £10m


    Liverpool will spark a £10million transfer auction after deciding to sell Peter Crouch to the highest bidder in January.

    Crouch's future has been the subject of intense speculation this season but now manager Rafa Benitez has finally lost patience after seeing a change in the striker's attitude.

    The Liverpool manager believes Crouch's status as an England player has turned his head, to the detriment of the work ethic that made him such a valuable team player when he arrived from Southampton for £7m in 2005.

    Benitez has instructed Anfield chiefs to secure the best possible price for 26-yearold Crouch. There will be no shortage of offers, with early signs of interest from Newcastle, Portsmouth and Aston Villa, one of his former clubs.

    A move abroad is believed to appeal to Crouch, with Juventus in the market for a front-runner.

    Casting an eye towards the Premier League, Liverpool's initial valuation could prove a stumbling block. Manchester City dropped out after being quoted £15m.

    Sportsmail understands that Crouch is prepared to dig his heels in and see out the remaining 18 months of his contract if Liverpool insist on £15m. It seems likely the club will have to lower their sights to around £10m for a New Year deal to go through.

    Crouch's expected departure may not be the only one after Momo Sissoko demanded showdown talks over his lack of opportunities this season.

    The 22-year-old Mali midfielder has made only four Premier League starts and sees little hope of forcing his way back after slipping behind Javier Mascherano and Xabi Alonso for a place alongside Steven Gerrard.

    He wants to grill Benitez over his standing and is ready to demand a move in January if the manager cannot convince him he will have a more active role in the second half of the season.

    Liverpool only just pipped Everton to the former Valencia player's signature and there is certain to be strong interest from the Premier League as well as a host of foreign clubs, headed by Juventus, jostling for the chance to offer him a fresh start.
