Liverpool get Peter Crouch

eter Crouch is travelling to Liverpool with a view to sealing a move to Anfield.

The Southampton striker, capped by England during the end-of-season tour of the United States, is to undergo a medical with the UEFA Champions League winners after being allowed to complete a dream switch.

Rafa Benitez is closing on getting all the pieces of his jigsaw with Real Madrid winger Luis Figo also a top target for the Spaniard.

Former Tottenham, Queens Park Rangers, Aston Villa and Portsmouth hit-man Crouch will cost in the region of £7 million and will sign a four-year contract if he passes his medical.

A number of Premiership clubs were trailing the lanky marksman, who enjoyed a fine season last term.

"What's special about him is he's 6ft 8ins," Saints boss Harry Redknapp told Sky Sports News. "That's probably the most special thing.

"He's got terrific touch, he's good in the air, has a good understanding of the game and is a fantastic player. He's a good lad and has not been a minute's problem even when this has been going on.

"He's had Liverpool [after him] and many players would have thrown their dummies out of the pram but he's come in every day, worked hard and been a fantastic example to everybody.

"This is the second time I've sold him - I sold him at Portsmouth for £5 million, so maybe I'll meet him again and sell him again!

"I wish him well and I'm sure he'll be a big success at Liverpool."

**Esox Lucius** · 20-07-2005, 08:29 AM

he wont hack at at the shite.

**DJ RE:HAB** · 20-07-2005, 12:16 PM

Well he could just turn out alirght, he holds the ball up well, which is what we need, hes difficult to defend against, which is another plus, and hes good in the air, and for a tall lad hes quite good with his feet.

Obviously benitez has put some thought into this before buying. Just becuase we have bought doesnt mean hell start all games..

Benitez is renowned for liking his tall strikers anyhow, as he had in valencia, and he didnt do too bad there did he..

Sounds like what they were saying about heskey & look what a useless piece of shit he turned out to be. I dont go in for all this "he holds the ball up well" bollox. He's a striker for fuks sake there there to score goals & win you games. He's moaning about baros only gettin 13 saying it not good enough then he goes & pays 7 mill for a player who only scored 3 more then him. He is gonna be a turkey & a half him. Waste of money.

**Frank Dogshit** · 20-07-2005, 12:44 PM

wasnt it about a season or so ago,crouch was getting loaned out to QPR,cos he was that awful at villa?

weve just signed a big lanky piece of turd in shefki kuqi,jesus knows what this clowns gonna be like,thankfully we didnt pay a penny for him.

**phantomdj** · 20-07-2005, 01:22 PM

wow hang on a second... crouch might have only scored 3 more, but then look at what team that was for!! a relegated one!

**Traxx** · 20-07-2005, 01:41 PM

What had he done the 3 seasons previous? errrr.....errrrm....ill think of something.....nope...fuk all

**Esox Lucius** · 20-07-2005, 01:58 PM

we will see how he performs for liverpool.. he will get more supply and is part of a better team... as long as he gets the supply... if he doesnt score, then you can say he was a bad signing... if he doesnt get the supply... then its not his fault... if he does get the suppyl and scores many goals.. then you can send him an apology note ;)
