Pompey bid for Crouch rejected

Portsmouth The News reported that Liverpool have rejected a £9 million bid from Aston Villa for striker Peter Crouch.

Harry Redknapp has been a fan of the lanky striker but he insists that he wouldn’t pay submit to Liverpool’s excessive demand. Crouch’s high price-tag of £15 million has hindered a move to Portsmouth.

Crouch has found himself warming the bench on many occasions as the gaffer has gone for the partnership of Fernando Torres and Dirk Kuyt. It is still unclear whether he will stay or move to a club where he’ll be given regular football.
