Lord have mercy, please nooo Crouch. Surely not 

[PrestonLaaa]

We all know the player and striker we must buy. Fernando Torres, I reckon we could land him, especially once UEFA have officially said we are in the CL next season. Would be a massive player for us.

With craking a mullet an all! 

OLE!

Blimey it was cold today!

[the mighty reds]

i also think that fernando torres from athletico madrid would be a master stroke or even diego forlan as he has been on fire in la liga anyone but peter crouch we need players who score 15+ goals a season and crouch will not be that player.

[The Canadian Red Army]

i would rather have anelka than crouch, please no

[Paul C]

He's w3nk, I really hope this is a joke!!

[looprevil]

Like others have said he'd bring a different option up front.  Although at this point I'm not sure we need him and I'd rather spend cash on some other players first.  Cisse and Morientes should be a good 1-2 punch next year, so I'm not too concerned with our strikers.

Crouch is not coming to anfield people!

if he does, i'll eat my cat

[siti_zaiton1982]

no .. i don't want him.

Out on a limb time here. I think he's a good player. Talk of needing a bloke to come in and score 15 goals a season is wide of the mark in my view, It looks certain that Rafa's preferred front 2 will be Cisse and Morientes so what we actually need are a third and fourth choice striker. Torres, Annelka and the like aren't going to settle for that so unless the boss is looking to unload one of the other two, blokes like Crouch and Johnson will come into the frame if they can be got at the right price.
On the question of Crouch, I know he's a bit freaky looking but the lad can play. He's got good touch and can score you a goal. From the bench he would give you another option entirely to what we already have.
Just a final thought, if we DID sign Crouch AND Johnson and used them as our number two strike partnership when resting Cisse and Morientes, which front two do you suppose would provide the greater goal threat in the Premiership? Honestly now? I know if we are comparing class, ease on the eye etc there is no competition but I'm not asking that. Goal threat? Would Crouch and/or Johnson provide more than Morientes? Unless Nando has a good old rest over the Summer, works hard in pre-season and comes back a totally different player I know where my money would be.

No place for Crouch.

Not even in the reserves

[Starbridge42]

He's better than our present reserves

[JBG]

Van Kuyt of Feyernord is what a lot of the papers are carrying: I see absolutely nothing in the Crouch story and Christ, I don't want him.

I'd have Earnshaw first.

[blizzardic]

I don't think we need more strikers....
if we do...Kuyt please

[lfclfclfc]

mixed feelings about crouch. he just doesn't look like he's got the qualities of a top notch striker, but he's proved to be somehow effective against premiership teams... then again, same could be said about johnson. a poacher, good speed and hard working, reminds me of rush, closing down the defenders and defend from the front! i'll take johnson (available at around 6-7m) before crouch.

[Adebisi]

If Rafa says he will be an asset to the team who am I to argue. (remember I said 'If' Rafa says)

His form towards end of season was top notch
