Happy Crouch has open mind

Fri 10 Jul, 02:41 PM


Peter Crouch is happy at Fratton Park, but his agent has refused to rule out the possibility of leaving Portsmouth.

The future of the much-travelled England striker, 28, is somewhat uncertain as the south-coast club await the completion of Sulaiman Al Fahim's proposed £60million takeover, with Sunderland, Tottenham - one of Crouch's old clubs - and Italian giants AC Milan all said to be ready to test Pompey's resolve with a £14m bid.

While 6ft 7in Crouch - signed by now Spurs boss Harry Redknapp from Liverpool in a £9m deal during July 2008 - has no reason to consider moving on, his representative Jonathan Barnett maintains they have to keep an open mind.

"I think Portsmouth have financial problems. I think every player is available," Barnett said in the Portsmouth News. "You would have to speak to Portsmouth to see if they are willing to sell Peter. He does not feel he has been let down, though, and he has a great relationship with Portsmouth.

"We have not heard anything from Milan or anyone at this stage. He is a Portsmouth player; he likes the club and thinks a lot of (executive chairman) Peter Storrie and (caretaker manager) Paul Hart. He is happy.

"But if there are circumstances where he has to move, that is football I am afraid. If Portsmouth were to receive an offer from somebody then we would have to listen to it."

  2. I thought rock and roll was dead -why? cos it says so­ on my t-shirt. Whether it's a scummer or from S*ite­ F*rt Lane doesn't relly matter it's probably­ the Isle of Wight ferry FC, which comes out of Cowes­ backwards. Pompey will be great again, play up Pompey

  3. nice one rock and roll. I am from Portsmouth and­ support the club when I can. I do not slag off others­ as it is JUST A GAME and we do NOT play for the teams.­ Does it really matter who is where as long as we enjoy­ the game? You just come over as being a bit silly­ really!

    As for those who reacted the way they did -­ try not to encourage him/her.

  6. Typing in capital letters all the time is literary­ evidence of an unhinged and dangerous individual with­ potential retarded tendencies.
    Lets all get back to­ talking about football, PFC and things that matter in­ life and not be distracted by the insane wailings­ posted from the open air asylum 'down the­ road'.
    No matter what the financial outcome this­ summer we'll go out and play Premiership football,­ give a decent account of ourselves and show the world­ once again our world class support from the terraces.
