Pompey Close In On Crouch

Filed under: Transfers - Posted by: Mark

Portsmouth have had a £10 million bid for Peter Crouch accepted according to a report in the Daily Mail. After having a previous bid turned down, Pompey have met Liverpool’s valuation of the player and appear to have seen off Tottenham in the race for striker’s signature. The deal for Crouch is expected to be completed on Monday.

This is an interesting one for fantasy managers. When Crouch gets games, he can often produce the goods and with Defoe as his foil, goals and assists should be plentiful. Crouch’s value across the various games will be worth watching now. We’ve already seen him priced at 8.0 in the Fantasy Premier League game today, a price which puts him in the same bracket as Yakubu and Agbonlahor. That’s a pretty fair assessment of his potential but I can personally see him outscoring the pair of them if Harry can provide him some service from wide areas.

“Alex Chamberlain played three games for the first time in his career. He had a stiff neck at half-time, so I did not want to take a gamble with him. Then we had a problem with Koscielny, and I wanted to give some playing time to Benayoun.”

Arsene Wenger explains why Van Persie wasn't substituted in the 7-1 win over Blackburn following pre-game talk of the Dutch hitman needing rest
