We could sign Michael Ricketts now and I would see it as a positive. That’s how bad this window has been.

That's our season over then :(
Not at all. Best news we’ve had for days. Read article on Up the Clarets.

Have seen it :) My comment was of course in jest. In truth, I'd have been okay with Crouch as an option from the bench but I feel we can and should do better.

Only to Crouch’s agent. They aren’t similar players.

I think we should use him in the Hendrick role. Deceptively skillful for a big man.

Although, having another think, mkmel, look at it like this: experienced pro, got the nous to see those pockets of space between the lines, links play, slips the balls into the channels for the likes of Wood, or (dare I say it, Wells) to run on to. Bob's your uncle, could be just the solution we're looking for!

I'd rather have Crouch on the bench than Wells/Walters that's for damned sure.

Part of me thinks this link is to force WBA's hand. Burnley are 'focussing their attentions elsewhere' to push through an agreement, while WBA are claiming there is competition from other clubs to make Burnley meet the players valuation.

Mind you, I suggested this with the supposed interest in Wells in the last window - and he ended up signing.

Hell, that's a difficult one. Imagine having to make the choice.

So long as his legs haven't gone I'd take him! Seriously.

Crouch doesn't need legs, although they still operate . He would join our other heroes on an Alamo seige, at the end of matches where we trail or need a winner.
