To win the league you can lose a minimum of 2 games. So we have to go ona heck of a run to get close to chelsea. but with the players we have we all know hand on our heart that we dont have enough quality.

Hand on your heart if we were to win the league in the next three years how many players do you think would be in that team that are present today.

i say 4 - gerrard, alonso, carragher and reina.

garcia - goes missing in away games.
morientes - goes missing for 60 mins.
crouch - i would take a toni or iquinta any day of the week.

oh and please buy Ballack.

So you think that only four of our players are fit to wear the shirt?
Is that what you mean??
What do you want a team full of superstars and big household names or a team that can play together and work their balls off for eachother?
Are you aware what Raffa done at Valencia and the squad he had to work with?
Real Madrid are a prime example of why buying the big names is a bad idea!
By the sounds of your post you want us to be another Chelsea! :no

Peter Crouch is probably the number one reason why we are better this year.

He has his problems in front of goal (which will change, now that he's off the mark) but Crouchy was never going to be a 20 goal a season player.

Look at what he brings to the team. We can hit it long to him and he can head it on to a team mate. In that respect there is hardly a player in the world that can beat Crouch to a high ball if Crouch is on his game. Not only can we hit it long to him but we can also hit it short into his feet. Crouch has excellent control and can retain possession well, bringing other players into the game.

How many players out there can you hit the ball to both long and short?

Crouch unsettles defenders. Betis couldn't handle him at all, and he dominated Chelsea's centre halves in the Champions League tie.

He can pass the ball, has some common sense, and he's a hard working honest lad. That means a lot.

Crouch isn't great when things get tight in around the six yard box when the ball is zipping around as his lack of mobility is a problem then. He cannot swivel on a loose ball in a crowded box like a Van Nistlerooy, Owen or Crespo. However, that was never part of Crouch's game. Crouch's game is based on receiving ball in or about the edge of the box and feeding others. Steven Gerrard will break the 15 goal mark for us this season and many of these goals will arise from him running on to knockdowns from Crouchie.

If Djbril Cisse was half a decent player he would be having a field day. Cisse has some serious flaws as a player and still has 11 goals: many of which involved Crouch in some shape or another.

Think what will happen when Rafa eventually unearths a goalscorer.

I never rated Crouch in the past but thats because I saw him as a freak. However, I was guilty of judging a book by its cover and now that I see Crouch playing week in, week out, I like what I see.

Crouch is a decent player. What is more he seems to be a smashing lad, and the real fans have seen this and have taken the lad close to their hearts.

Hes a bluenose, made a topic about Wools and Norwiegens being in Liverpool. Saying Limey is always chocker on a saturday.

Agree JBG - Crouch's workrate has been excellent. One of these day's Nando/Cisse et al will realise that he will win 95% of the balls coming into him, and then anticipate this. They are starting to anticipate the odd knock down - but not enough.

No of course not, but unless he has a crystal ball he has no idea whether we will win the league title in two seasons from now.

This squad is far from complete but Ballack is a player we really don't need. He's an excellent player but we already have 4 central midfielders and theres no need for another.

Luca Toni has done well for Fiorentina but thats just this season, and he's probably just seen him play via highlights. Crespo scored 26 goals in 32 games for AS Roma[i believe] but he's harldy scored anywhere near that much in the Premiership or for AC Milan last season.

Zambrotta is also a great player but why would he leave Juventus? And he'd cost an arm and a leg.

I think it was either at Lazio or Parma, AB, although I cannot remember which. His goalscoring for Parma was exceptional.
