http://www.liverpool.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=108677Peter Crouch will seek talks with Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez before making a decision on his future.
The England striker has been linked with several Premiership clubs recently, after starting in just 9 league games for The Reds this season
'What I must do is speak to the manager,' said Crouch.
'When all is said and done, I don't think I can have another season like this year where I've started nine Premier League games.
'Out of a 38-game league season, nine games is not the amount you want to be playing.
'I'll have to speak to the manager and see what his plans are. I need to see him and sort things out.
'I have to find out what he wants from me for next season and whether or not I can continue with that.
'In some ways I want to feel wanted. I've got a few questions I want to ask him, and I'm sure he has with me, too.
'So I'd like to speak to the manager and the club before I commit to anything and know whether or not I'll be here next year.
'It's always nice to know that if things did go completely wrong for me at Liverpool, I'd have options to go somewhere else and it's not the end of the world if things don't work out for me there.
'All season there has been speculation I could be going to another club. I've just always got on with playing for Liverpool until told otherwise.'

The Crouch situation really leaves me with a bad feeling. I really want liverpool to keep him. He knows he's a valuable player, and it is normal for him to need more playing time on field. BUT what i can't agree with is the-guaranteed-shirt/place-in-the-first-11 syndrome, every player must fight for a spot.
I just feel we might sell him off and later bite our fingers for doing. He is a striker that, given the opportunity, can deliver 20 goals/season. Peter Crouch has played 21 times this season, 15 of those 21 times, he came off the bench. Scored 11 goals too.
I say we keep him.
