Crouch is not just a good striker, the man is a god at holding the ball, he gives any defense nightmares with his height and I believe why he splits people (both on and off the field) is because of how different he is. I just wish we would all embrace the different qualities he offers us, and let the other teams worry about how to contain him and why we have him in our ranks. In an ideal world, Rafa's 15 million will not be met, will not budge for toffee, and Crouch will get a look-in come next season. But fantasy over, this is not an ideal world is it, and more likely the 15m is just the opening salvo for Rafa looking to get as much as he can for a player he knows most of the also rans would kill for. Benitez doesn't look like an upscale banker in those suits of his for nothing you know, the man is often under rated in his second most important role- as savvy businessman. Crouch would be logically good business sense, which is sad since from day one I've been a fan...hopefully I wont have to be one of many wishing him the best come the end of the transfer market and the start of the season.
