Crouch certainly should have played more of the European Cup final. What a missed opportunity to play the one forward the Milan defenders didn’t fancy.

It’ll be interesting to see if Liverpool will let Crouch go. He only played 19 games last season but still managed to score 8 times. Under played and undervalues imho.

That’s a fair shout in fact, Elena. Not for Arsenal, but for Man Utd. Ferguson has always been a big fan. I wonder if now might be the time… Think footballwijaa is right about Arsenal, though. Anelka looks the man most likely.

anelka is the most realistic target for now. he’s fast, deadly and familiar with english football. cisse is also good but will benitez sell him to a rival club? i don’t think so..

Speaking of the Klose move to Bayern, it would be no big surprise now if Roy Makaay were to become available. He might not cost much and could be a good alternative for someone (not necessarily Arsenal) at least short term.

I haven’t heard Theo Walcott mentioned much in the last couple of days. Henry and Anelka were young, largely unproven Arsenal strikers once….

Owen too injury prone and surely he’s not going to sign another expensive Spaniard after Reyes. Tevez, Martins or why not Cisse?
