Crouchy ....

Aye spend a bit more money. It's all clubs aim to do now, instead of coaching the players they already have better.

You have enough strikers. Shouldn't be having any more. This is a perfect example of the problems that the PL causes by throwing money at poor teams .

Loan wouldn't be a bad move if Stoke agreed .. Crouch would score plenty in the Championship X

Why would he join you?

Why wouldn't he ?? Villa like Leeds are a big pull still for players. Crouchy is hardly getting much game time at Stoke and would do a great job in the Championship ..

You aren't in the play-offs, other big teams are. If Crouch was coming to the Championship then more attractive options than Villa would draw him. On top of that, you already have like 7 strikers. If he's leaving Stoke to find first team football then he'd surely go somewhere with less competition for places.

Crouchy is doing OK at Stoke. At his age impact player from the bench is probably right for him. He won't come. And, as Bruce said, we're not short of forwards.
