Anichebe Out - Crouch In?

[GrandOldTeam]

Tevez:

He said: "It's not true my family are unhappy in England. It's not true I want to leave England for Spain. My four-year-old daughter Florencia is learning English and my wife is very happy living in England.
"We want to stay. I want to play in England because it is the best league in the world and it suits my style.
"Any club I join, whether it be Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool or Everton, will be a rival of Manchester United.
"I would like to thank the United fans for their support. They will always have a special place in my heart.
"If I was a United fan I wouldn't want to see their player in any other shirt but I think they will accept I've done everything I can."

Tevez, sigh.

Big no. And I wouldn't flog anichebe either. Send him on loan and see what he does. If he wants to go though that's another matter

Wake me up 1st September.

This.

We're getting investment the day of the final apparently

Hehe, great incentive that. "Go out there and win lads, it's the last chance you'll have before we buy someone better."

Anichebe's departure is predictable - he's fast and strong but he's not good enough in front of goal to cut in in the prem. He'd do better in the Championship, or dropping back to a position where he can use the physical side of his game but isn't expected to score regularly.

I'd still rather we kept him than buy Crouch though. Nothing with a centre of gravity that high can be expected to throw itself around without sustaining permanent damage. He has 'career ending injury' written all over him.

Vic needs a run of games. IMO he's got some great attributes that could make him a solid 1st team player in a top club. He shows it in spells - which he has done this season. He's got potential be a Tevez/Heskey-esque player - a work horse with skill, can hold up the play, who could drive a team by taking it by the scruff of the neck.

He's just a little childish, and falls over a lot. Get him out on loan, see him plough his trade at PNE or Cardiff etc for a season and see what he is rather than judge him on the odd game he plays when sometimes he's great, sometimes he's bad.

And we dont need Crouch. Fellaini's score about the same amount of goals as Crouch this season and he's a midfielder.

I like Crouch.

There I said it.

Sell, Anichebe might not be a problem if we could find a replacement, but surely a 3M for a striker is a joke, a striker who has Premier League and Europe experience, not to mention scoring some goals in them.

If a potential untry midfield or striker from the lower league is calling around 10M, surely Anichebe could fetch similar fees, I hate those stupid article keep writing things to sell our player on the cheap, while other top team unwanted player are calling 10M+.

I nearly fell off my seat when I saw £3m for Vic. Thats about £2.5m more than he is worth!!! Sure he has experience, but he hasn't exactly covered himself in glory when playing. Scoring a few goals against seriously substandard opposition doesn't make him a £3m player....but then I wouldn't have put McFadden at £4.5m either and we got that.

I would have Crouch but i would worry about the long balls. Looking at the TV money I would hope Moyes would have £25m to spend. I would look at Santa-Cruz or Pavlichenko (the guy is class, just not at spurs), Duff and Huddleson...and if a quality young centre-back came along, I would also offload Yobo. He is a good player but we could get £7-8m for him. He won't be first choice so thats a lot of cash sitting on the bench.

I like Crouch.

There I said it.

Agreed mate. Horribly underrated.

And if we had him it would mean he wouldn't be able to score against us anymore.

 

[Cal]

We've already got a immobile crab in Fellaini, why do we need another one?

Although hopefully we get rid of that useless **** Anichebe.

 

[Goat]

Can you lay off Fellaini mate? But I agree, wouldnt touch Crouch with a ****ty stick, but would bang his piece of skirt everywhere, she be fine that Clancy.

 

[Cal]

I don't mind Crouch, i think he's a good player but i don't think he'd suit our style much. Him and Fellaini upfront would be a nightmare away from home.
