Cahill's Metatarsal
Player Valuation: £15m
Crouch scores a lot of goals, as a forward that's what you want so yeah, I'd take him. It would be so easy to revert to long balls with him on the pitch though & we're at our best when the likes of Arteta, Pienaar, Osman, Fellani, Cahill & Yakubu are knocking it around the floor so if it took away that strength then he's not worth signing, if we could avoid that temptation Crouch knows where the net is & his goals could be very useful.
Tevez is a fantastic player, I'd take him in the blink of an eye but I'm realistic enough to know he's not a likely signing at this point, he'll sign for 1 of the best teams in Europe & despite the huge steps we've made, we don't fall into that category yet.
Next season is going to be huge for Anichebe if he stays. When he's up for it he can be brilliant, he's natually very strong, he can charge through using that strength & the goal against Nuremberg showed he can be really calm in front of goal & produce good finishes. However, how many times have we seen that compared to the times we've seen him look disinterested, complain when a ball is played 2 feet past him & generally had a poor game? He seems to have a lot more bad games than good, which isn't too bad at a young age providing you show enough of your ability to be worth it but I'm not sure if Anichebe has.
I think the arguement with could turn into a good thing, he knows the pressure is on & he has to either produce the goods or he's gone. I'm not sure how Moyes views him or how other clubs do but I think if there's no decent offer for him he'll keep him around the 1st team for a year, tell him to produce the goods when he gets his chance & if he doesn't, bin him for whatever we can get. He might loan him out & tell him to proove himself elsewhere or he might sell him if someone offers what Moyes considers a fair fee, but either way, it's sink or swim time for him & I feel that by this time next season we'll know for certain whether he'll ever be good enough or not.
