Peter Crouch: Fretton Park might see some Robotic Dance this season

July 7, 2008

Peter Crouch, the tall 27-year old forward, who ended the season 2006-07 as Liverpool’s top scorer in all competitions with 18 goals in total and scored his first hat-trick in the same season against Arsenal, has expressed concerns to leave the side and join Portsmouth at Fretton Park.

Turning down a $9 million deal from Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp, Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez seems to have ideas of his own. Liverpool seems to be desperate of getting a good price for the England forward, so that they can get more players during this transfer season itself, including Gareth Barry from Aston Villa.

Initially Liverpool will be getting $16 million in the Football Transfer Market as a part of the deal today itself, if the deal goes on well and Portsmouth can work out the details with Crouch. England international seems to be in a hurry to get away from the club for joining Portsmouth, as he was not on the starting lineup for most part of the previous season with Spaniard Fernando Torres in full flight.

The move from Portsmouth manager comes from his previous experience with the Liverpool forward during his stint at.

According to Liverpool boss Benitez, Crouch cannot keep playing every week as he’ll be getting competition from players like Dirk Kuyt, Xavi Alonso, Steven Gerrard and Spanish forward Fernando Torres. So, it is unlikely that Crouch will get a place in the starting lineup, if the club decides to keep him.

It is too early to say whether the famous ‘Robotic Dance’ will be continued at Anfield or Fretton Park, still fans will be hoping to catch the glimpse of the lanky forward display his talent!
