I think we can start preparing saying goodbye to Peter Crouch. Reports over the weekend suggest that Liverpool and Portsmouth have agreed a £11m deal. I guess it was always on the cards that Crouch was going to leave this summer. It will be a big loss for Liverpool but it is a good move for Crouch as he is set to get more game time at Portsmouth than he was getting at Liverpool. Now what is Rafa going to do with this potential £11m?
He has to go out an get another striker. And with reports suggesting Rafa is keen on Robbie Keane, he may now have the cash to make a formal bid for Keane. Or maybe, he will go do Villa? But I serious doubt Villa would be coming to Liverpool this season.
I’ll be sorry to see the bean pole leave, but for 11 million we haven’t done half bad.
