Crouch

[Morph]

Sven would want to sign him, yes, because he rates him.

He's obviously on his way, whether it's to City or somewhere else. He isn't being rotated - he's being snubbed. No wonder he's pissed off - he's being continually snubbed for two strikers who offer little or no goal threat. Rafa clearly doesn't like his attitude and I think he's grossly mis-managed Crouch of late.

imo rafa is either keeping him from injury as he's lined up a jan move for him, or more likely he's not playing him due to his supposed turning down of this move that was on the cards, which wouldn't have left rafa best please. Also i posted while ago about crouch storming out before a match because he wasn't in the team, I still don't know if it was true or not, but if it was maybe rafa didn't look too favourably on it

One tiny point though unrelated to the above is that it is alledged ,a bust up happned on the plane home last night. Can anyone else confirm ?[/QUOTE]




crouch kicked off for only gettin a few minutes and was havin a go at voro and kuyt sayin they cant play together
voices raised and basically the players took sides which didnt go down too well

I would say that it looks like he stormed out. Rafa don't even start him in Europe anymore.

If Rafa had agreed a deal with City for Crouch and he didn't want to leave then that would explain why Crouch have looked uninterested this season.

this first hand info?

[carheex]

if whats said is true and City's offer was accepted then this is Rafa showing him to accept the next offer.

was citey's money earmarked for Torres's partner - Rafa did say if he had money he wouldn't of gone for Voronin, was Crouch the fall guy to get the money option as Voronin was already signed?

Always wondered if Pako leaving, recent form might be down to Crouch being left out.

When did he say that?? Not that it makes sense. For the sake of the team, I doubt he would play voronin instead of crouch as he is clearly inferior. And if he wanted to sell Crouch, the best way is to have him in the team performing. This whole thread stinks of gossip mongering. I'm off.

seems like an odd comment to come out with in front of your team mates, any ideas who sided with who?

Let me guess; Carra, Stevie, Finns and Pennant sided with Crouchy, and the foreign lads with Kuyt and Voronin?
