James,
I'm just thinking this could give that 'something different' that causes worry to defences.
Especially in Crouch, his height and his aerial ability is up there among the best around.
I'm not saying this is an answer to our CF issues, but if there was a deal to be done at a 'reasonable' price (god knows what that is these days) I'd take a punt, definitely.
Never harms to have that extra option in the wings to use if we need to try and make something happen.

I hear that he is highly rated, yes.
I think that we need to bring in a CF as a priority and then this young lad for the future :)
I know they have promised one more signing; it has to be a CF
If we get a CF in it will really give us a chance to make a push this season!

I'd take Crouch all day long!
I know he is 35 but he is tall, wins headers.
Long, Boufal and Redmond could all play off him.
Experienced.
Could play and cause problems in Europe.
I'd also take Rickie Lambert back.
Either/ or.
Type of forward we are looking for if you ask me.
Name a better forward at winning balls in the air and scoring goals at this level with experience.

With Boufal out for at least another month I would go with the following:
Forster
Cedric Fonte VVD Berty
Davis (cdm) Hojbjerg (cdm)
Tadic (LAM), Redmond (RAM)
JRod (cf), Long (cf)
(Boufal for Redmond on return)

Bottom 6?
Really?
Burnley
Hull
Swansea
Middlesbrough
Watford
Sunderland
Palace
WBA
There's 8 teams we will finish above.
Minimum
Get behind the lads!
We've got decent players more than capable.
COYR!

I agree completely.
There are a few 'iffy' areas . which most definitely need to be taken into consideration.
I think we have got a decent bunch of players to work with and think we can do very well. however the European journey ahead makes me worry about depth. Especially as you say with Jay Rod and Austin being injury concerns.
I think Boufal is going to be an awesome signing. Potential from him is unreal. As is Hojbjerg - He is going to be AWESOME.
I love Shane Long and with Dusan and Boufal providing we have got great potential, although I'd have loved a CF too.
Someone mentioned Crouch, I'd have taken that all day long.
Yes he is 35. But he gives an 'extra option' if we need to go for it in the last 20 minutes of a game.
Anyway. we have what we have now and I am behind the boys through and through.
COYR!

Maybe so, but I cannot see Boro finishing any higher than bottom 6 this season.
Severely lacking upfront. If Negredo gets injured they have no one - it'll be our own Gaston up front.
Just think he could have done MUCH better and get better experience.

I for one am very unhappy with his choice of club as well.
Middlesbrough? Really?
I'm a Saints fan who lives in Middlesbrough, and all I have heard this season off the newly promoted Boro fans is that we are going down this season (HAHA! )
He's going to find it really hard this season to get valuable experience that Arsenal will be looking for for him. Playing in an average team.
We could have offered European football which I'm sure Arsenal would have been delighted for him to get.
