£15million for Peter Crouch? Is Rafa Drunk?
By: b-man | May 8th, 2008
With Pompey continually linked with Crouchy, Rafa Benitez has decided to offer what he considers a “reasonable” price tag.
Reasonable? Reasonable??? Half of that sum is pushing the boundaries of reasonable! £10million would be well over-the-top. But £15mil? Come on Rafa?!?
I’m not saying this because I think Crouch isn’t good. But that’s exactly what he is. Good. He aint’ world-class as the term is often thrown around. He is not £15million pounds worth of striker.
I’d like him back for Pompey. He’s effective and I think he’d form a formidable partnership with JD.
But for £15million I want something SPECIAL!
Last season Barca signed Thierry Henry for £16million. Fair enough he’s not had a great season but still, that’s Thierry Henry! This is Peter Crouch.
I’d be very, very suprised (not to mention dissapointed) if Harry Redknapp coughed up £15mil for him.

It strikes me as a discouraging price, basically that Rafa doesn’t really want to sell Crouch to another high-ranking Premiership club. There’s no way he’s worth 15 million, and Rafa knows that. But in the exploding market for strikers, I think he could be worth 10.
