whatever you may think of him, when he plays he's good for the balance of our midfield. He's getting better small step a time. His fitness is improving and you can see his form growing every match.
7m for a player with one year left on his contract. I thought Rafa drank to many sangria's after the EC final. But Rafa predicted Crouch would improve our game. I'm glad Rafa did absolutely everything to get him. 7m? Well worth spend IMO!
By saying I only want to go to Newcastle on a 1 year loan, he indicates to me he's more worried about the Worldcup coming up next year then about those magpies! Now thats the teamspirit Mr Souness wants!
