Given the incessant speculation linking us with Crouch over recent years (which has died down recently), and given Stoke's likely demise, what do we think about signing Crouch for a final year in the Premiership. Proven goalscorer, good back-up player, would probably be available on a (near) free and would likely have 5+ goals in him next season. I have no links, and no inside track, I would just be interested in thoughts.

Would rather have Mitrovic...then he can play with his mate Luka! Very underated and an out and out goal scorer although I would think Fulham would also want to buy him!

Wouldn't want him. I reckon we could take Llorente from Spurs tho? He'd be good for next season as a back up striker.

Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five! |

One for the future! Brilliant idea! Just to be clear, “one for the future” doesn’t mean signing a team full of youngsters. It means building a succession plan with some cheap, journeyman experience now, aligned with a plan to replace them in th not too distant. If we could pick up Crouch on a free, then I don’t see the problem with having him as an option for on the bench, perhaps giving Sorloth a season to bed into the team and Lookman a punt. This would still be a plan for the future, even though Crouch is aging. It would certainly be more of a plan for the future than spaffing our money on Llorente, who only signed for Tottenham for £12 million plus last season. I am not particularly evangelical about it, I don’t really care either way. I was just interested in views.

Apologies for the cynicism DP , there was no need and you have a good point as he has a proven history of scoring from the bench. Originally posted by dp
