Crouch won't sign for a Northern club

So then, Crouchy has told Sunderland that he doesn't want to move to the club as it's north of the Watford Gap.

It looks likely that the lad will be Harry's first summer signing.

£12 million for Crouch. What do you make of it?

Some users have commented that either Jamie O'Hara or Pascal Chimbonda could be part of the deal so as to replace Davis and/or Johnson respectively.

I personally wouldn't care if Chimbonda left, but I would care if O'Hara did. He may not be the most gifted player in the world, but the lads' got heart.



Digg!

  1. Crouch will sign for £7 million and we will give O'Hara as part of the deal at the request of Paul Hart.
  2. Crouch will be a fantastic signing. We've not had a player that can hold the ball up up front since Berbatov.

    He's not Berba class, but he'll be great for Defoe.
  3. Yes please! Very experienced, great first touch, links play well and thoroughly nice fellow
  4. Lets give him a chance!! He's a proven prem goal scorer!
  5. Where did you hear the O'Hara story?
  6. i must admit last year at the lane he couldnt win anything in the air against ledders and woodgate but i believe he will be a great signing because we all know he links up well with defoe
  7. Hi Mr K Huntelaar here, who is this crouchy, i am hearing so much about, because of Mr Crouchy, Mr Harry will not make me a offer so i can play for a great team like Tottenham Hotspurs, this makes me very sad, i do not like Germany, but i have no choice because Mr Crouchy is better than me. I am sorry to all the Tottenham fans, i would like to play for you and take you to the top 4 , but Mr Crouchy is preffered. So i see you in the Champions League as i am sure Mr Crouchy will get you there, Yes !!!!!!!!
  8. have we all lost the plot crouch is s"£! 12 MILLION MORE LIKE 6 6 MILLION BOUT TIME SPURS SPLASHED THE CASH CUT THERE LOSSES WITH THE DEAD WOOD LYING AROUND BEFORE THE SEASON STARTS AGAIN(LIKE LAST SEASON)
  9. Chimbonda is actually wanted, to replace Johnson. Pompey value him at 1.5 million sticking point we want 2.5 to 3, to be taken of Crouch value.
    We be seperate deals, if not sorted by tonight
  10. Dear Mr Huntelaar, Mr Crouchy is shit and not a patch on you, please come to Spurs , PLEASEEEEEEEEEE
  11. I am so happy at the moment. Crouch is a superb player. He's very experienced and is a level headed guy.

    Welcome home Crouchy!
  12. Glad to see the positive comments about him......I reckon it would be a good signing and hope it happens. Apart from pav, all of our strikers thrive off of a big man up front with them.....It will be a bloody goal fest defoe will score 20 goals for the season....piece of piss
  13. He is a much better player then people give him credit for...he knows his way around spurs he knows the players from england duty or from pompy and he knows Arry who knows him so lets give him a good chance he tolds the ball up well and plays well wiv Defoe he has a great first touch and is very skillfull and if u need to u can use his hight which defenders really dont like just need a left mid to get the crosses in COME ON CROUCHY MY SON COYS
  14. Spurs are a 3rd rate team and crouch should be playing for better - shame spurs fans think they will ever have a chance again
  15. Mr. Huntelaar, please give us a description of what we'll be missing when you sign for the German side.
  16. You lot have lost the plot! Crouch is weak and is easily bullied by any half decent center back, he can't dribble, cant run and can't do anything exciting! Not to mention that he has pace to burn! We sold him for 60k, and as far as I am concerned we are better off with Bent & Pav. Only Huntelaar is worth pursuing.
  17. sunderland are to big a club for him . they are taking 8000 to ajax at the weekend and get 48000 very other game a small southern club like spurs should be good for him . good luck mate .
  18. As a Sunderland fan I would rather have Bent, so do us a favour buy Crouch, reduce the crazy asking price for Bent and we'll all be happier. To be honest we could do without a player who needs to be down south for the sake of his WAG!
  19. @ 8.04

    You really dont do much to shed the sterotype of Northerns being a little close minded... You get 48,000 in a massive City with one team. We get 36,000 in a massive city with 8 other teams in the top two divisions..and we have 30,000 on the season ticket waiting list.
  20. There are sections of Spurs fans who are never happy and it really makes me want to scream. We have a good squad and whoever Harry brings in will enhance our team. It is time to stop moaning and start supporting - forget the jeering and begin cheering. Make all the players feel welcome no matter what their past and even the worse players will up their game and reach their full potential.
  21. Sounds like Palacios is having a good match.....dam we missed him at the end of the season.....He is gonna be a monster this season!
    I still remember his match against the Arse, they were shit scared of him, no one wanted the ball cause he was right in their faces......I watched him and thought "yid through and through"
  22. Do you honestly think we'll have sell-outs at the new Lane when we play bottom three sides (taking into consideration that we won't also be in the bottom three at the time)?
  23. Blimey Toppsy, and i thought the Mags were deluded.
  24. crouch !.......good tranfer for us why.?....

    because he dominates in a diferent way ,so defoe etc can move around.....crouch and pav to dominate in this way....and bent to provide strengthh as well.....we could have a supersub situation last twent mins etc..and
    a spurs team which is stable ,not too much change.....great....dos santos on left please!
  25. Very impressed that, that thick southerner Crouchy knows what the Watford Gap is Spurs are wellcome to him.
  26. Crouch is shite! You lot must all be deluded. If he is so good why has he changed clubs about 10 times? Because he's simply not good enough that's why. He looks like Mr Fantastic, except he's anything but... Fantastic that is! Please please stay away, you lanky pile of shit!!!
  27. toppsy7 sunderland is technically a town not that big a place or populated at all and still get 48k (altho alot of ppl from neighbouring durham,gateshead,washington etc etc support them) and london has however many million people living there so spurs have a far greater catchment area.sunderland do tho have a bigger fan base than spurs both massive clubs potentially and i like both.i remember a game in 1964 at roker park sunderland v man utd there was a hundred and twenty thousand people there (im a united fan),the attendance was given as 65k as it goes on ticket sales and was sold out but the mackems broke the fence down and more flooded in and there was easy 120k there that day and ever since then i have had a soft spot for the mackem people.sunderland last of the sleeping giants the fans have been through some tough tough times over the last 30-40 years. also i bet they take many more than 8k to ajax as 8k is jut the ticets they were allocated i bet thousands more travel over.
  28. sunderland who? i bought one of there tops before i thought it was switzerland was gutted when i found ot it was mackem cr ap.sunderland have great support as there is nothing else to do.your ground only holds about 25 thousand don't it? the riverside? what heve sunderland ever won?spurs have won he league more time than sunderlnd and have won the champions league,spurs fan foever glad im not a gooner.
  29. erm, Sunderland is a city, it's bigger than Newcastle!!!!!
  30. Dear Mr PoshSpur,

    Mr Huntelaar here, what will Tottenham be missing if i sign for the German side ummm well i do not like to blow my own trumpet but i is KLAASs.
    I am 25 years old, i have scored 18 goals in 22 appearances for my national under 21 side, and then i have gone onto score 13 goals in 23 appearances for the full national team. I am a classic "number 9" striker with good technique and athleticism, I can score all types of goals with either feet and with my head and i especially like the bicycle kick goals, do you not have YouTube in England ?? NO !!! I have been compared in playing style to Marco van Basten and Fernando Morientes, i have been playing for Real Madrid, a second rate Spanish side and now i want to step up my game and play for a truly great club like Tottenham Hotspurs. Does that answer your question, if not then the short answer is i will score lots of goals and take Tottenham to a top 4 team, where they belong.
    So if you see Mr Harry, please tell him al…
  31. Please Harry sign the "Hunter" The predator alongside Defoe, and we will strike fear into opposition defenses up and down the land!
  32. safc have won the league 6 times fa cup twice there stadium holds 48500 and there record att is 75000 at roker park . the north has always been where the big big clubs come from .
  33. lol spurs fan riverside? no that is middlesbrough's stadium sunderlands stadium is the stadium of light and it hold just under 49 thousand,also sunderland have won the top division title what the premieship is now 6 times and spurs have won it 2 times. i think spurs have won the uefa cup and many fa cups but not the champions league as yet.sunderland fan.
  34. Cheers for that comment Mr. Huntelaar.
  35. So seeing as 'appy 'arry has one again tapped a player up through the medium of sky sports news. Who's next on his media hitlist?
  36. As soon as he starts talking up another player, you'll know the one he's about to sign.
  37. You mean as soon as another teams scouting network finds a player that available, 'appy 'arry will tell the media that "he's a player i'd definately be interested in signing"

    Still, saves money on spurs having a scouting network of their own i guess
  38. Painfully average player. A step toward improvement? More like Pompey 2.0
  39. crouch is under the thumb he's missus wears the trousers and thats the reason he won't go north.sunderland has the best countryside on its doorstep in northumberland,castle's, romance,history,heritage,beauty,by the sea,passionate warm people,fantastic area but just very cold in winter.i would rather live there than in london where it stinks,just concrete,busy,rude,wierd,drugs,murder,violence,everyone is so cold and don't speak to each other i remember a story of someone dead on the train for 3 days as no one noticed him.obviously london has great culture and fantastic nightlife and theatre, shops etc etc but so does the north east just on a smaller scale.
  40. spurs should sign nikola zigic hes better than crouch and we should of signed fraizer campbell
  41. people visit london mate they dont want to be livin there . the north east is miles betta . not just premier league sunderland but newcastle aswell great football clubs great cities great shoppin great nightlife . london leyton orient, brentford, murder and drugs. o yes and spurs...
  42. Crouch is from maccelsfield and his bird is a scouse,hardly southerners.Tottenham makes the the north east look like the french riviera tbh.A US navy seal in helmund province has a longer life expectancy than your average shopper on tott high st.
  43. Dear "Mr Huntelaar"

    The very notion that top players want to put effort in and help clubs into the CL is laughable

    They would rather sit on the bench at clubs who are always in the CL regardless.

    It is called "Solskjaer Disease".
  44. I hope to god that we don't sign crouch.
  45. @ 8:37:00PM

    Sunderland has city status, you goon.
  46. hey people.. if we do sign crouch then we can at least look forward to his incredibly gorgeous girl coming to the games !!
  47. I remember a game in 1928 when we had 6.3 million people attend the game with live updadtes via Twitter and everything.

    Seriously though, Crouch would be a great addition to either side, so it transpires that it may well be another London club for whatever personal reason, i respect that decision as a fan and i wish him well wherever he goes.
  48. I think £12m for Crouch is paying over the odds, try £8-£6m tops and a player swap, though not O'Hara, he is a determined Spurs player who plays for the shirt (unlike some)...maybe give them Boateng who is only interested in the Paycheck...and has zero skill (okay..maybe 0.01 skill) - DeNyO
  49. Lol peter crouch at the yids pmsl good old harry is taking you backwards and long may it continue,remember folks arry is a 10th place manager at best and now hes getting you the players to fit your placing 10th or below.at least now you divvy spuds will realise how deluded you was!
  50. Some funny comments above, great work guys! Crouch is not a bad buy. Yes, I would like to have Huntelaar but I never truly believed he was coming to begin with. I definitely do not want to sacrifice O'Hara though!!! Chimbo can go! Chimbo must go!! O'Hara to stay a YID! PLEASE 'ARRY!!!!!
    He's looking comfortable on the left wing; we can utilize him and Bale there instead of going after someone; I truly believe that!

    COYS!!!!!!
