Dot cotton?

Dot cotton?

Good guess, but not the right answer have a another go there is 200 added to the pot

[Rhys]

we should bid for palacio or mario gomez.

[Red_Al_77]

Anelka, because we can actually get him as opposed to all the others suggested which have little or no chance.

[kemm1]

Ryan Babel

is the correct answer.

I don't see the need to hand out a lot of cash for a new striker when Babel is right there. I think he should be given a run of games to partner Torres with Pennant on the right and Yossi on the left.

I don't like Crouch in the team to be honest. We seem to aim long punts at him when he's playing and it's unfair on the lad as he has great feet for someone so tall. I think that Rafa has made his mind up and he won't stay beyond January as long as we get a replacement. We also seem to have evolved our style of play to a more prominent passing game. Crouch is 'another option' for Rafa now, when he wants to change the style and just go more direct.

Crouch is better at passing football than direct football

in my opinion.

I think he would be a great foil for Fernando.

As long as we play to his feet yes. He may have a 'mobility' problem too, as we need more variety in our forward movement than just have a target man.

I don't like playing with a target man. Man Utd don't do it, and their game is all about passing at pace and movement. We lack a technically adept and mobile player alongside Torres, and Tevez would have been the perfect foil for me, or someone like David Villa.

Kuyt, whilst he runs and runs, just lack that killer touch. He is a very good backup though but I don't think first team quality for a championship winning team.

[kopdan]

I never said target man

Rafa wont change his style to Utd's. I'd like to see Pennant on the right and maybe a central midfield of Gerrard, Mascher and Alonso with Riise bombing down the left. OK we wouldnt have much cover on the left infront of Riise but we do have Mascher to cover across.

I think crouch may play v the arse

I think crouch may play v the arse

Jones from Sunderland gave them a tough time this year so probably.
I would prefer if we played Torres up top and Gerrard or Kuyt playing behind him and 2quick wingers and had a right go at them.


None of this hoofball crap.Crouch is seriously highly rated by alot on here and saying he is Torres's perfect partner is mental.Torres need a lively ball player who can spot a good run and pick a pass.

Crouch takes 3touches when he gets the ball and normally gives the ball back to where it came.He has gone backwards

He scored a hatrick against them in our last meeting.

So Kuyt to start then.

[thesilverfoxlfc]

Is it now time for Crouch to get a set of games with Torres.

Im not Crouches biggest fan but we need something after watching Kuyt with Torres.

I think the Crow plays well with Torres they seem to get on well from seeing them in some games
