Tottenham apparently price Crouch at £9 million...

That's a ludicrous valuation, but typical of Harry and Spurs.  1/3 to 1/2 of that price and he's probably a decent investment for a couple of years given the European commitments (yes, Fulham will be back in Europe next campaign as well!).

Having Hangeland, Dempsey, & Crouch in the box for corners would be massive! 082.gif

Anyway, back to Saturday's game. The only players from Spuds that looked worth anything were Kranjcar, Assou-Ekottou and Bale. I thought Walker played well in the U21 WC, but to my mind either Walker on a loan or Kranjcar at a decent figure (say 3-5m) should be the only ones to look at from spurs.

Sir, we're talking about Pre-season.....you really can't judge from pre-season matches...

damn, if nobody buys him at that price, then Harry will have another 'home grown player' to sit on his bench and play a few times a year.....


its all about the home grown player rule. Crouch feels good that harry thinks he's worth 9, harry gets to keep his entirely non english team, while keeping his quota, while the press believe he is cooperating. He doesnt really rate crouch either. But if you're going to have a backup striker on the bench to fill your home grown quotient, theres not much better than a 9 foot tall goalscorer who can come in and nip one one a set piece every now and then.
