Rafa: Crouch is not going anywhere

Crouch was a pivotal member of last year's side, but has found this year a tougher proposition, prompting rumours to surface that he could be on the move. But Rafa has said there is no truth in the rumour.

"I'm happy with the strikers I have here. We don't want to sell Peter. We are not even thinking about it. We are in four competitions and I want to keep my strikers. I'm happy with Peter," Rafa said. 

Benitez added, "When we played with Kuyt and Crouch we were winning five games in a row and people were saying the understanding between them is good."
