No, it's not. It's about sticking to the parameters you set. Top 4. You opening up to 7 is about moving parameter to suit your opinion. The data stays the same and I've previously given the full records, so I'm not hiding them.

(That is a laugh at your comment, not that you haven't found the quote, I thought it was a humorous response)

I never understood why people quote you, edit what you say, then act like they're correcting you, as if they are deliberately trying to embarrass you or something...

I found YOUR quote above...., saying "So you didn't find the quote..."
Does that help?
Close enough.
I would pick Carroll, Sturridge and Welbeck ahead of Crouch. Defoe, not so sure.

A big fat juicy THIS with bells on it!
I don't remember setting it originally as Top 4? I said against "top" defences. You also highlighted "top half of table" defences.

I hear what you are saying but the point I was making that there are some that are implying that he should be picked purely because of the goals scored stat and don't take into account any other factors.

It's not that different though is it?
Really not that different. I'm sorry but right now you have a massive Peter Pedant cap on.
Carragher, by way of the other example, refused to be IN the squad, because he was fed up of being dragged around Europe to sit on the bench, on the off chance he might be required.
Crouch WANTED to be doing that.
He was not picked for the squad, but was asked to put any other plans on hold, just in case they changed their minds later. Personally, I'd like to think I'd accept even that, for whatever slim chance that gave me of a call up, but I can see his point.

I have to say, if I was England manager, I think I'd rather put an up-and-coming nearly man on standby, as opposed to someone who has done it all before and can see no international future for himself, which is basically Crouch's position.
Considering this is only standby we are talking about, surely there are youngsters that could be asked, as opposed to Crouch? Don't ask me to name names, I'm not that interested in England to be honest.

Why's £1bn Wiliie Zaha not been called up?
Can you imagine the tab the FA would have to pick up to cover his insurance?
I think that answers your question.
Look back through this thread and you will find at least THREE instances of him being referred to as "the best player in the world ever".
All this talk about how he doesn't score against the big sides in the league. Think how many goals the small teams actually score against the league champions, or score over the course of a season. The service he recieves at playing at Stoke isn't going to be on a par with that received in an England shirt so I don't think you can say he wouldn't do well against bigger international nations based purely on that. In fact for a striker playing for a lesser team I would say 3 goals in 8 games against was it the top 4? is in fact a pretty damn good record.
