Pompey were in div 1 at the time.

Pompey were in div 1 at the time.

It means he is a good player in div 3 and he has struggled at this level and top flight.
If he was that good Villa and spurs would not have let him go for peanuts

spurs arent exactly the most renowned club for giving people chances as are villa and he was very young at spurs, as he was at qpr. defoe was not in the west ham team at crouchs age and loaned to bournmouth. now being the spurs fan you are you must admit hesa improved and so has crouch.

he was good at villa but they had angel(who was on form) and vassel(england striker at the time) so he was never going to play. and theres no doubting he was very good for southampton.

people just dont like something different thats all.

Spurs are not known for giving people chances?

Look how many young English/Irish players we have in our STARTING 11 at the moment.

Campbell
Carr
Kelly
King
Walker

have all come through our youth team to make full caps - plus Davies, Etherington and Players like Defoe have not not done bad for themselves have they?

 

[Rookie]

The man is not even top premiership class let alone international class, prob would get a game for scotland or wales tho. He's not that good at heading which everyone says he is in the team for anyway

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

neither has crouch you GOON

davies left, ethrington forced to leave.

hmmm

hows robbie keane doing at the moment, ireland top goal scorer and known threat....oh hang on, hes only just recently been making it onto the bench. excuse my arrogance

Yes we sold Davies to bring in TWO new youngsters both English and look they are both playing - or they were untill Wayne got a broken foot.

Not bitter over Brightons best player being shown the door as a failure or anything?

Im pretty sure Croach as done badly for himself considering he has cost nearly £15 million in transfers

yes. im sure the prices of his transfers really upset him at night.

alan shearer has one the same as him for a 15million pound transfer fee since at newcastle. does that count?

He has justified that much crouch £5 mill to villa? scored what 3 goals?

in about 4 appearances in a shit team. u dont have to score goals to be a good striker. he brings othe players into the match

 

[sams dad]

NO

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Yes he played 4 times because he was shit

 

[Yoda]

No. Never rated him.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Yes, a great option to have, especially with crossers like Beckham

 

[Eggman]

Not International class.

You cant't just pick a guy because he is tall.

Good God

 

[northstandnorth]

he aint in the team to score goals(he is the same as heskey so god only knows the reason why liverpool didn't just keep him instead)

if you want 4-4-2 he has no place in your team.try to persuade shearer to come back alongside owen.

if you want the long ball or you want wing play feeding a target man for your channel runners he is your man.
he provides options playing in front of or behind the main striker and can lay the ball off to long range specialists like cole rooney or ferdinand.

he aint in the team to score goals,just to create chances for others

 

[London Irish]

Crouch's skill levels are higher than Heskey's, he is a better passer/link-man. He could be a useful tactical option for England against certain teams.
