Rafa's comments 'advertising' Crouch don't appear to have made it any more difficult to get a reasonable fee. There seemed to be a fair bit of interest in him, so perhaps he wasn't as unwise in his comments as some previously made out?
Either that, or Harry Redknapp and Portsmouth are being totally and utterly naive about the transfer market by offering to pay as much.

especially considering owen went for less.

Considered we paid 7M, selling for 10M with only one remaining year of contract can be considered a good piece of business.
I think he has raised his value in Liverpool so we can't say he has done a bad job here.
He's a good striker.

Owen was on top wages, I presume Crouch is on much less, and therefore easier to sell. I still think we made a mistake selling Owen, we should have gambled (£8million)kept him for the last year of his contract and hoped he stayed at the end of it. It would probably have worked out cheaper in the long run with the benefit of hindsight.

I don't know, we may not have won the CL if Owen stayed

I think he has done quite well for us and maybe could have been used better over the last couple of seasons. The incredible success Torres has had, probably put the final nail in his coffin at Liverpool.
Good luck Peter and thanks.
