Peter Crouch turns down QPR move

Peter Crouch turns down QPR move

PETER CROUCH has turned down the chance to renew his double act with Harry Redknapp.

By Dave Armitage/Published 17th July 2013




The QPR boss wants to sign the former England striker for a FIFTH time but Crouch says he’s happy at Stoke.

Rangers are poised with a £6m bid for the 6ft 7in striker but look likely to miss out.

Redknapp is a massive Crouch fan, having signed the hitman for Tottenham, Southampton and twice for Portsmouth.

But the 32-year-old, who has commanded almost £50m in transfers at 10 clubs, is set to turn his back on Rangers.




“I’m more than happy here and the family is settled”
Peter Crouch
Glamour model wife Abby Clancy publicly grumbled about moving north when Stoke smashed their club record to fork out £10m to get him from Spurs two years ago.

But Crouch says his family are now happy in Cheshire.

Crouch says life under new Potters boss Mark Hughes is great and he’s happy to stick around.

Crouch said: “I’m more than happy here and the family is settled. As long as the manager is happy and I am, then I don’t think there’s anything to be done.”

 

£6mil for a 32 year old?! I don't believe that for a second

 

No thanks.

 

It is laughable it is so ridiculous.

 

At that price Peter Coates would have him in the boot of his car & be flying down the motor way!

 

No thanks. Having said that, wouldn't have minded seeing his missus at LR

 

If we land Hooper I see no reason for Crouch as well.

 

Not the worst news we are going to get this closed season.

 

Its laughable that wed probably pay that, no one in their right minds would though. £1m tops.

 

I think there are older, more experienced players we should be targeting to supplement our wet behind the ears forward line. Tom Finney anyone?

 

Thanks but no Thanks, never rated him how he even became an international player is beyond me, cant run cant control a ball.the only thing going for him is his Mrs is well fit

 

I'm thinking the truth may be that we weren't going to pay stupid wages to him so he's obviously thought that there was no need in changing if the money was about the same.

 

Bingo! Realised that Stoke IS his last payday & not us!

 

I guess he missed out enjoying all that clear Austrian mountain air.

thank god for that,crouchy and stoke are a match made in heaven..Hoofball heaven

 

I find that quite a bizarre comment to be honest. I remember watching him down the R's and wondering how technically gifted he was. Especially being 10t tall. He was a great controller and passer of the ball. And I bet if he was asked, he would much prefer the ball being played into his feet rather than punted up in the air to him!! And it nobody can question his goals to games ratio for England....

 

Far better player than Zamora

 

Anyone remember England v Portugal in the 2006 WC? Crouch played up front on his own after that **** Rooney got sent off and would have been MOM had it not been for Hargreaves running himself silly. Brilliant hold-up play.

Never understood how Rooney didn't get vilified in the same way Beckham was for a similar act.

 

Thought he was gonna come and play for the badge, eh Flyer?

 

This article stinks of complete BS to me, if it were true you'd have thought some other news outlet would have picked up on it by now. I'm gonna go out on a limb (a very long Crouchy one) and say I bet he'll be an R again before the start of the season.
