Rafa and Crouch

[friedk]

Has anybody noticed how this season Rafa has always referred to him as Crouch in interviews?

Until now that is, now he's Crouchie.

Small details, but quite significant I think.

[Marky]

Yeah interesting stuff.

I think his days at Liverpool are numbered tbh and i for one will be sad to see him go.

Gone in the Summer for sure and maybe Jan if Rafa gets another striker in who isnt cup tied.

Personally id keep him till the summer and then buy David Villa

[Nic83]

I'd keep him forever. I don't think he will be sold in Jan anymore. I think he will start, and score tomorrow

significant in that you think they are getting on better? because after yesterdays pc I'm convinced rafa wants to keep him, unless a silly offer comes in

[Exiled_red]

I think at the moment Crouch and Torres have to be our front two, they're definately the best two strikers and probably the best partnership

that's what I think, I think their relationship has improved and Rafa want to keep him.

Yes that is an option i personally would get rid of both though. Kuyt isnt good enough simple as

[JohnDoe]

I'd get rid of Kuyt and Voronin before I touch Crouch.

Unlike everyone else, I don't think he's going anytime soon.

[StevieG08]

I'm sure Crouch will stay, he was off form early season but has got himself sorted the last few weeks. I've heard Rafa call him Crouchie before so fail to see the relevance of this. Technically head and shoulders above Kuyt and Voronin and i think he will make a good partner for Torres as the season progresses.

[Woobus]

Recently Rafa has said he will not sell him and Crouch has stated he wants to stay with us. Hopefully hear of a contract signed soon as he is a good player.

[Johnny]

If Crouch was happy about it I`d keep him as 3rd/4th choice striker.Kuyt gone in Jan and Voronin in the summer.

[Sir Bob]

I don't know 1 reds fan who wants Crouch sold or that rates him behind Kuyt or Voronin.

The recent comments by both Crouch & Rafa are very hopeful. Crouch wants to stay & Rafa wants him to stay. However a part of me also thinks he's on his way and both parties are playing the PR game of who'll get the blame when it happens.
