Finally! A player with the pace we are crying out for!

WTF, he let us down before, no thanks

Half a million for someone who will score at least 5-7 goals in the PL, yes please.

Cruciate injury during his fourth appearance- you read it here first!!!!!

Walters going the other way?

Walters and Wells looking for a bit more conversation and laughter on the subs bench maybe, we can't have them just sitting there getting bored.

We already have an impact player off the bench in SV.

Wokingclaret · Post by **Wokingclaret** » Sat Jul 28, 2018 10:54 pm

Stan tried to Sign him, he saw the rough side of Burnley and ran the other way, its in Stans book

Allegedly Stan wanted to sign him and a deal was agreed but then he pulled out because of the “Burnley Riots”

Let's push the boat out and be radical... and have more than one impact player on the bench?
Instead of bench warmers who before the game as even started you know are not going to be involved

Oh yeah, thanks for replying mate. I'd had heard that one, although I'm not sure how accurate it is. I thought the poster was implying that we'd been in for him more recently.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Jul 28, 2018 11:01 pm

There is a picture on twitter of Dyche with Crouch at what looks like a concert or something like that.

Hopefully the journo has spotted that and made this link up.

Reecey1987 · Post by **Reecey1987** » Sat Jul 28, 2018 11:02 pm

Crouch likes kasabian too was spotted with dyche end of season maybe dyche was trying to tap him up and get in there first

northeastclaret · Post by **northeastclaret** » Sat Jul 28, 2018 11:02 pm

Must be the next striker target on the list having failed to get Jay?

This current link or the past link?

colne-claret · Post by **colne-claret** » Sat Jul 28, 2018 11:02 pm

You know what, this may not be the worst signing for 500k. He is always a threat due to his height and we deliver some pretty decent balls in to the box these days. Never relied on pace so not really declined over the years. He is quite pally with Dyche too I believe.

We could also solve our C/H problem by signing John Terry

bodge · Post by **bodge** » Sat Jul 28, 2018 11:03 pm

SD and Crouch were at the IOW music festival together as guests of Serge from Kasabian.

That's where this came from.

Bin Ont Turf · Post by **Bin Ont Turf** » Sat Jul 28, 2018 11:04 pm

The current one Wilks.

Boro are interested in Vokes

Only surprising thing about this link is that it’s taken so long. Jesus Christ almighty.

Edit: that’s not me denying it’s validity either. We really would do this.

Claretpants · Post by **Claretpants** » Sat Jul 28, 2018 11:15 pm

Would defo take him on 1yr contract as he gets goals and will occupy defenders to create space for Wood

If SD wants him here then who are we to argue about his decision?

Vokes must be off then

cricketfieldclarets · Post by **cricketfieldclarets** » Sat Jul 28, 2018 11:18 pm

Would be an excellent signing... if we also buy the dolorean!

Vokes only has 1 year left

mdd2 · Post by **mdd2** » Sat Jul 28, 2018 11:20 pm

The fact that Walters and Bardsley are here may be a factor if he comes to us

John Johnson 1605 · Post by **John Johnson 1605** » Sat Jul 28, 2018 11:25 pm

It's all about who else is signed.

If Crouch were signed along with Jay, Dawson and Mawson it would be an excellent window. If Crouch were our major signing a terrible one.

Still lots of twists and turns yet....

Wokingclaret · Post by **Wokingclaret** » Sat Jul 28, 2018 11:27 pm

Look, I love him to bits, but he is not beyond mistakes as shown already with this preseason

Why would we sign 2 cb costing over 40 million for the pair when were struggling to sign one ?

Steddyman · Post by **Steddyman** » Sat Jul 28, 2018 11:30 pm

The happy clappers will find a positive in this.

Perhaps we want him to stand in for Pope?

Probably best if the manager who took us to the 7th best team in the country made the decision rather than the rednecks of this forum

Point taken Reecey.

I was suggesting that Crouch wouldn’t be a poor signing, assuming we were able to land our other targets. Although not both Dawson and Mawson.

In other words Jay, Clucas, Dawson/Mawson plus Crouch.

Ah yes, I forgot we finished 7th. All is perfect. Perhaps he will make the same amazing impact Jonathan Walters did.
