Crouch to leave for free?

[Parm]

sick and tired of players holding us to ransom. **** him off if it is true. let him go be a 'big' player at a third rate team with no chance of winning anything. or he should man the **** up, acknowledge that he is doing well to be at one of the best teams being used when needed

yup, he should acknowledge and respect the way in which Rafa has turned his career around.

I think I have sunk to an all time low

Took me a couple of minutes to see that.

Then laughed so loudly that I scared a customer.

[Abbey Road]

Never rated him.

Good riddance.

I've always thought the £15m fee quoted was more Rafa's response to MON's valuation of Gareth Barry; basically if you want Crouch it will cost as much as you are asking for Barry.

Rafa never makes statements just for the sake of it.

[Shaggy]

Interviewer: "What do you think you would be if you weren't a footballer?"

Crouch: "I think I'd probably be a virgin."

[Reece]

Never rated him.

Good riddance.

Nice.

hasnt anyone noticed what raffa has done,he is doing what any other manager in england has done with english players for the past few years,and now with this fifa thing hanging over our heads then the values will go up,crouch is a england international and correct me if iam wrong but 12 goals in 12 starts last season is worth atleast 10 mill in my book so like others have said a start price of 15 mill isnt stupid its just business....

look around the league,how much will pompey end up paying for defoe close to 10 mill after add-ons,downing priced at 12mill has never played in europe and only featured for england a handfull of times,barry 16 mill,bently 16 mill blackburn want for him and people are questioning the 15 ill valuation of crouch,he has scored has played in europe has played for england and scored goals in all competitions,i wouldnt pay 15 mill for crouch but the valuation is right....

Sometimes i dont know whether to feel sorry for Crouchie or to dislike him for always going public with his troubles.

[Abbey Road]

About time we started playing hardball in the TM. Even if it means holding out and doing deals late on when clubs start getting desperate. Look at players like Pennant, Richarson and Pique, barely even regulars and going for bloated fees.

[BFG]

What's the problem with Rafa playing hardball over transfer fees in May?

If it was two days before the window closes then he'd be running out of time but at the moment he's simply trying to get the most money in for LFC. We've bashed the club in recent years for not doing this so we have to be patient with this one.

Always going public with his troubles?!??! WTF?

Why is it there are so many ‘supporters’ happy to take the Daily ****ing Star’s word for it? "Going public with his troubles" – where are the quotes from Crouch? In public Crouch always says the right things and didn’t rock the boat at all while being left out.

[BobTheCharmer]

Crouch has turned into a dickhead. He's lucky to have played for such a great club and owes Rafa everythnig.

If he'd concentrated less on his public persona and cult figure status and more on his football, then he might have been more involved.

bollocks. bollocks and more bollocks.

He's frustrated at not playing and rafa has admitted he's fighting Torres for the one attacking position (oh joy I love this new system that the entire world seems to have adopted at present). He won't play anywhere near enough games next season unless torres were to get injured. even then one of the other two prolific hitmen on our books would no doubt get the nod.

No one is going to pay £15M. So he stays and gives his all for us when called upon and leaves for free at the end of his contract. we've had £7M value out him surely? I can't stand this attitude that every liverpool player must obey, honour and revel in the brilliance personified that is Rafa Bentitez. The guy does **** up on occassions.

I really couldn't give a ****. At this moment in time he's a Liverpool player and does as he's told. He can openly slag us off for stopping his dream move to Pompey and restricting his Ingurland opportunities in his next book.

i hve to agree with this kinda ive not heard crouch moan or demand a move in the press and every time ive read a story or seen a interview he has been nothing but a true professional,yes he will get frustrated but this season he has kept his mouth shut and did his job and if he has said it now who can blame him its the end of the season...

and as for the daily ****ing star i cant speak for all but when it comes to newspapers i wont buy the Sc*m or the Sc*m owned mirror,the times and them are just to complicated for my stoned head so that leaves the daily star(plus the boobies on page 3) who i have to say over the years have been right about more things liverpool than any other tabloid(apart from the echo)...
