The former Celtic boss has slapped an £8 million price tag plus Peter Crouch to try fend off the Reds from his Villa captain. However elsewhere in the papers today, it has emerged that Rafa may just make a straight £15 million bid for the England international.
Personally, it would not be my first choice to see Crouch leave but it is clear that Rafa will not start him especially with his new 4-4-1-1 formation. Even still, it is a huge asking price from O'Neill because, although some mightn't think so, Peter Crouch has a value of at least £11 million.
