6 million for Crouch? No way, lets do ourselves a favour and pay 2. Here's how:
We buy Kuyjt AND Crouch, paying about 10 & 6 mill respectively. We then go to Baros and say "listen here you little turd, if you want to sit out your contract then fine. Infront of you are Cisse, Morientes, Kite (I'm gonna stick to this spelling from now on) and Crouch. Throw in ping-pong if you like for good measure. Now, if you want to play reserve team football for the whole season in World Cup year then crack on me old son. Read our lips, YOU WILL NOT GET A SINGLE GAME. Alternatively, find yourself a club and get the best deal you can. The price is 2.5 million.
I reckon he's got to be on minimum 30k per week which is 1.5 mill for the final year of his contract. Add that to the 2.5 mill transfer fee and suddenly the streaky tall fella looks chucked in at 2 mill.
Added to all of that we rid ourselves of our last remaining sh!tehouse and start to really build a team. Go on Rafa, call his bluff like you called Gerrards.
