Hernan Crespo? Is he the answer?

[dirty_sanchez]

He's one of the best finishers in the world. His goalscoring record in Italy is sick and despite not settling and not getting a decent run at it, his record at Chelsea was exceptional considering how long he was there.

I think he is a good player, from his time at Chelsea I'm not sure he adapted that well to the PL. He did have a decent goal return though. Nonethless, he left Chelsea because his family prefered in in Italy. I doubt anything much has changed in that regards, so he won't be coming to us.

Yes. He didn't really like it here, so I doubt he will want a return.

Was just going to say something similar.

Don't think he fitted in to Mourinho's system and tactical ethos. Chelsea's loss really.

Mourinho seemed genuinely to want to keep him though, so he must have done something right. I suspect Jose would much rather have kept Crespo than to have Shevchenko in.

He let him leave for nothing, maybe he didn't have a choice in the matter.

It was reported that Crespo wanted to return to Italy anyway. Quality player, no doubt about it.

Crespo is quality, but i doubt if there's any truth to this.

Agree, but he didn't really enjoy his time over here so i doubt he'd relish coming back. He'll play the rest of his career in Italy/Argentina IMO.

[glynner]

Unquestionable talent - but I just can't see him settling on Merseyside if he hated London so much.

[Red_Polo]

Quality player, has just what we're lacking up front so would be pleased if we signed him but can't see it happening tbh.

[Robster007]

You guys are loons. Crespo is a brilliant striker. He's EXACTLY what we need.

[Rocket]

i'd rather we sign Robert Earnshaw

[AFII]

Another Argie

I'm with you here Dirty me lad.
Many of our defeats/drawn games could have been wins if we'd had Hernan Crespo on the end of the chances we created.
His movement/anticpation is first class and as for that one-touch finish in Istanbu (from Kaka's pass) ...........well you have to say it was world class.

[AFII]

I doubt that Chelsea would sell him to us.

[Shaggy]

A real genuine thoroughbred IMO. A gifted, natural finisher/predator, at the wrong end of his career.

We'll never sign him, like.

[The Glove]

He looks like Melanie Blatt far to much for my liking. He is a great player but I cant stand him.
