Peter Crouch "available"

Not open for further replies.
£20, 000 000 (Masher fee) = £6, 000 000 (Poulson) + £4, 000 000 (Shit fullback) + £10, 000 000 (Crouchinho?)

Your sums are a bit wrong

£20,000,000 = Shit Midfielder + Shit left-back + Shit striker - Champion's League qualification again + Hodgson sacked

Yup.


Applying that equation in the past is part of the reason w're in this mess.

My sum is right. You have merely extrapolated from the initial formula.
 
According to Dominic King, Crouch is valued at around 9 mill £.

I'm a bit meh about Crouch, but for 8-9 mill £ there aren't a lot of Premiership proven strikers that can do the job he can out there ìs there?

And as long as we are skint and in desperatly need of home grown players, this is a good move for the right price.

The Bitters would fucking love Zlaten. He ticks all their boxes for their portrayal of the modern day Liverpool fan.

What a fucking embarrassment.

Indeed. Every post is just a horrible, clueless ignorant cunt.
[/quote]

Indeed they are. But please everyone, stop quoting him, I've put him on ignore to not read his clueless ramblings. He is the stereotype of how many people perceive foreign Liverpool fans to be.

Its a good job that for every Zlatan, there's 10 Avemenon's to balance it out. Well maybe not 10 but you get what I mean.

We'll get a bit more than £20M for Masher and Poulsen will only cost us around £4M + we'll get a similar fee from Genoa for Insua I hope.

At least £20M to buy from plus any incoming fee for Lucas as well.

Don't mind Brendan Doc he's just mad because... actually he's just a bit 'mad' really....

He has, but the extrapolations are pretty good based on past history.

I was hoping Hodgson might be shrewder, and who knows...he still might..

Lets say 20 million Masher + 4 million for Insua = 12 million Defour + Benzema loan + option to buy at 12.

We'd still be looking at a problem at LB, but thatteam might be plenty strong already.

The only song that matters is YNWA, otherwise when i sit infront of the tv watching our games i dont sit there chanting all these other songs. A song isnt going to win you games, what the players do on the field is 😉

everyone supports liverpool in their own unique way. if zlatan isn't bothered about the songs then that's his choice but you have to wonder what he 'does' care about with regards to liverpool. if you aren't bothered about the identity and history of liverpool and are just concerned with what happens on the pitch (which is your right, and your choice) then wouldn't you be better served supporting a team much more successful (currently) than liverpool is now?

I hope we do get more than that KHL, but I'm not sure we will unless a bidding war begins. I expect a deal to be concluded behind the scenes with a minimum of fuss for Masher. We'll probably not be told the price. Lucas won't be sold, no chance.

Bren may indeed be a bit touched these days, but it is hard to argue with his logic that, JoeCole apart, we've been linked with a succession of shit players.
 
I would of thought the whole prostitute incident which may leave crouch binned by the girl he was due to marry very soon may make him even less of an attractive purchase. He may be a miserable toe rag with his mind elsewhere for a while to come.

£6 million tops IMO don't pay more

right, and i care why? ???
 
But if you don't support them for geographical reasons (myself included) then isn't it all these kind of things that attracts you to the club?
 
You obviously don't care, but if I was hanging around somewhere and everything thought I was an annoying bellend, I'd probably ask myself a few questions

It's a fair point, but couldn't it just as likely lead to a move back to merseyside from London, and therefore fit with his plans perfectly?

Crouch is a difficult one for me. You watch the vids from a few years ago and see some of the goals he's scored and think that him being resigned, and perhaps better man-managed than he was last time, is a good idea. Then you remember the number of times when he "raced" around like Bambi on ice in the big games, didnt impose himself on the game in any way whatsover, and was often completely ineffectual..... and you want to cry.
 
You should care; because you're a fan of THIS club and because you're a foreign fan, a lot of people will think you epitomise the atypical foreign Liverpool fan.

And that is why I'm imploring with you to SHUT.UP.

I'm not going to quote you or reply to you on this anymore, but please think on it, OK?

crouch should be used at a last ditch effort to get something out of the game when things have gone tits up. someone to launch the ball up to and create havok in the penalty box for the likes of torres, cole and gerrard to pounce on. crouch as a starter is a step backwards imho that opinion has absolutely FUCK ALL to do with him looking like a beanpole. crouch is tall and lanky, so fucking what?

I never said i dont care about our identity or our history, just said that the songs people chant while they are at the game dont have much significance to me as i live in australia and i dont get to go to liverpool games.

Obviously our history is a big reason i support this club, and my cousin made me start watching the EPL when i was a young kid and i had a connection with liverpool. They are my team and ive stuck with them through the thick and thin. Just like here in the AFL i support richmond who are *the sleeping giant* just like liverpool but im not a shit supporter to just give up on my teams when the going gets tough.

So for whoever questions my commitment to MY club Liverpool, then seriously go do one because what you think doesnt mean shit 🙂

to be fair, its up to the individual how or why they chose to support liverpool.

That being exactly my point. She spends her time split between Liverpool and London, and conceivably he could rescue the relationship by moving away from the scene of the crime...

Is that entirely true?

Sure, personal preference is most of it, but the masses influence you beyond comprehension dont they.

You cant really expect to simply pick and choose elements of the ideology as they strike you as important without understanding wider reaching topics, history and tradition...or if you do, you shouldnt be surprised to get a reaction.

Would you, for example, walk into the Kop on matchday with a rolled up copy of a certain tabloid newspaper, and expect to be able to explain it away as "but its up to me as an individual why and HOW I support the club"?
