I'm just so fed up we still have to talk about him! How I wish he wasn't our player, really thought this would be the window we got rid :evil:
I respect Crouch as a player. He's a nice guy on the pitch and always seems to try but just lacks so much ability. I'll remember the good things about him when he does go (whether this summer or in the future) like his exploits in the Champions League, or his goal at City to clinch 4th, but I do looking forward to the day we replace him. He just frustrates me so much now.
For a big guy he's too weak, his touch is poor, he can't generate power on his headers or shooting, lacks pace and doesn't bring players into the game enough.
He did more for us last season than any of our other strikers
I can't think of any measurement which that would be true of!
Assists, Champions League run and hold up play in certain games. Pav might have scored more goals but he didn't do anything else, Defoe... I cant think of anything he did apart from a couple of nice curlers.
His ability to control the ball is utter shit he needs to work on it pretty fast.
