Crouch keen on Newcastle

[alunevans]

Personally I rate Crouch and wouldn't want him to leave. I think he's far far better than people give him credit for

If only he could head a ball he'd be total football material

His only real weakness though in my view. If he was 5ft 3 everyone would accept that weakness in exchange for everything else he offers.

His poor ability with his head is deeply frustrating considering his height, but nonetheless, I don't really see many other weaknesses from him. And he still scores goals despite this weakness.

I hope Crouch stays. I think he's probably our best forward of the four. I think at this stage its very difficult to make a strong case that any of the others are better than him.

Another shocking attempt today as well. 6 yards out free header

If we are playing high up the pitch, ie at home, then there is a case for Crouch & Bellamy, and if we are playing deep, ie away, then there is a case for Crouch & Kuyt, and if we need to go all out offensive, then Bellamy right, Crouch centre & Kuyt left could also be worth trying.

I just hope Crouch doesn't get benched for the next match after today though, could be soul destroying.

Arsenal at home - I think it'll be Kuyt and Bellers

Agreed, although I'd say Crouch's biggest weakness is his complete lack of pace. He's not the best in the air but he still scores his fair share of headers.

A weakness he shares with all our forwards except Bellamy though.

Also - alot of Crouch's good work is done going towards our goal!!! h:

he'd look rare wearing black and white stripes anyway

He's a good player who's served us well, but a player I don't see in the long term future of LFC if we're to challenge for the league season after season. And even though £12m is pure speculation, I'd snap NUFC's hands off at that price

[Kopite_Colin]

he'd look like the offspring of a giraffe mated with a zebra.......
