Crouch 'Back in the Big Time'

blurred · Post by **blurred** » Sat Jul 12, 2008 5:48 pm

Headline on the back of the Mail this morning, apparently.

Champions League Final with us, FA Cup winner with us, but now he's 'back in the big time' at Pompey?

The mind boggles.

Good luck to him there, anyway. I always quite liked Crouch.

he was on the bench all the time.

he'll play more or less every week now.

although england caps might be harder to come by now.

i seem to remember he was at southampton and there was "will he get an england cap" talk , inbetween him getting goals every other week, i dont think it came ..

but as soon as he moved, he got called up - i dont think he'd even played for liverpool yet.

..

if we would have bought crouch, he couldve annouced his international retirement on the same day.

I think it's more of a reference to the increased first team football that he'll get now he's moved.

Are Liverpool going to replace him?

They've got Torres and...well, Gerrard. Voronin is shit, Kuyt doesn't seem like the kind of "striker" who will get 15 goals (Rafa plays him out wide now doesn't he?) so is Rafa literaly just relying on Torres and Gerrard to win the titles?

Don't worry, Benitez knows what he's doing - I mean it's not like he's a prick or anything is it?

hmm, is Benitez a prick? I think that deserves a thread of its own.

The word on the street is apparently Robbie Keane, although how much that is to be believed I don't know. The sheer number of players we get linked to is just daft - there's no way we can afford them all. This rumour's had staying power, though, so we shall see.

Aye Robbie Keane, direct replacement for Crouch!

Well seeing as Crouch so rarely played, we obviously don't want a direct replacement for him.

You're right!

Erm, just a question. When Benitez and Keegan get sacked next season, are we starting a 'Pricks Out' thread?

I understand that, when asked in the press conference about his time at Liverpool in the past couple of years, he said that he believed that Benitez was, in fact, a prick.

Word on the street is DISABLED, by a parking bay. D'you think that if Juande Ramos manages to fleece the rags for Berbatov and Liverpule for Keane, he might pop back for a certain Mr D. Villa of Valencia? Might be worth it for the fun of watching Rafa's head explode (and Spurs fans jizzing in each other's faces before the inevitable disappointment)...

It was in polite circles down South, I believe he said penis.

Nope, Benitez is widely known as "Prick" around here.
