Rafa Benitez slaps £15m price tag on Peter Crouch

Rafael Benitez has warned clubs chasing Peter Crouch that they will have to shell out at least £15m pounds to secure his services.
"Crouch wants to play every week but knows he must fight it out with Fernando Torres," Benitez said.
"We keep seeing Portsmouth linked with the player but we have had no offer as yet. A £15m price tag would not be unreasonable."
The Reds' boss also confirmed that Australian winger Harry Kewell will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.
"We have tried to come to an agreement with the player and his agent, but that has not been possible," said Benitez. "Kewell will leave the club at the end of his contract."
Liverpool have also parted company with coach Alex Miller, who has left the club to take up a management appointment in Japan with JEF United Chiba.
