£3m would go very nicely. Can't see him wanting to go there though. It's the back of beyond.

I think he's been great on the whole but if there's an element of truth in this, you proverbially get in your proverbial car and proverbially drive him there yourself don't you?

If he's the answer to Swansea's striker crisis then they must be on a list marked "Beyond Plan Z".

Would be good money for us, but a nothing deal for Crouch.
If they guarantee him a first team start he may consider it, however I really cannot see him going to Swansea.

been great over the years for us but realistically isn't going to be getting on the pitch. no point even keeping him as a squad option nowadays as all of the forwards currently in our squad (plus Berahino if he comes in) are ahead of him.
no brainer if true

It'd be a good move for him if it was 100 miles east of where it is. As it is, can't see him considering it.
They must be desperate and a bit cash-strapped if there's anything in it

He's very different to Baftembi Gomis in terms of their style of play. He does have a better goal celebration though!

£3million for Crouchy at the age of 35? Snap their bloody hand off if true! He's been great for us and was just what we needed but he can't really offer us what we need anymore - I'd be first in the queue to thank him and wish him well

I'm sorry Mr Jenkins but due the inflated transfer market and the fact Mr Crouch is English bidding now starts at £30million...

Straight swap with Sigurdsson

Straight swap with Sigurdsson Seems fair but sigurdsson, Williams and £25million seems fairer somehow

Time for Pete to go I think. He's been great for us, really helped raise our profile at the time he signed.
If we sign another Striker, he goes one step further down the pecking order. No good for him, he want's first team football, no good for us paying his wages when he's unlikely to play.

I [heart] Crouch and I would be more than happy for him to stay and to well, just be Peter Crouch and score his last Premier League goals for us.

He could live in Cardiff which is a fantastic city. Half an hour from Swansea and an hour and a half on the train from London. Or alternatively he could live on The Gower by one of the best beaches in the world. Abby and the kids would love it. Have I sold it yet Pete?

The location isn't a problem good commute from London.
With the signings we are making there has to be some outs and although a great servant to the club if it's crouchy it's crouchy. 3m and plenty saved in wages
That said if he's happy being a bit part player I'd rather keep him. I read somewhere the income generated by him worldwide pays his wages. If he's cost neutral and happy to stay keep him.

Anyone know if the Johnstone Paint for U23's allows any older players to play, if so, this would be a good reason for him to stay, and it would really give our youngsters a real lift...

Fuck me, Swansea fans will be doing their nuts if this comes off!
Imagine Petey Crouch (no offence Petey) being the main forward signing for your club, a club who are established in the Premier League, have stated that they will spend good money and have already sold their first choice forward!

I desperately want him to complete his 100 premier league goals, hopefully in a Stoke shirt, model pro and all round top geezer

Post by fulagoals on Jul 28, 2016 11:51:29 GMT
Sadly though, with a ratio of 1 in 4 that means 16 appearances so can't really see it happening here. Hope he remains in the premier league though and gets over the line

Ask for a bit more if it's their first bid and then snap their hand off.

He's orate Crouchy is, he can still knock a few in for us.

If Swans make a bid said to be £3M I would without doubt drive him down there immediately if I was the management team! Crouchy is a top bloke and a good player, but at 35 and at best 3rd-4th choice we really should accept this bid. He is also on big wages so this is a no-brainer to me!

Never understood why he was given a new 2-yearcontract last year. If he don´t leave now he´ll probably retire next year at his age he can´t sit a whole season on the bench.
