who I was having this row with back in August - I said we should make a bid for Crouch, and was generally laughed at - I then said that Crouch would get 20 goals this season and was considered to be a bit deranged.

Please sticky this

Peter Crouch - Goals in all competitions thus far - 16

he will get 20 and I will be proved right

Ability to score goals you mean? Now why would we want a striker who can score goals? :rolleyes:

Maybe he had the opportunity to score 30 goals and wouldnt be struggling if he had put the other chances away?

30 chances and 16 goals, thats still a pretty good ratio man

why do people have this thing against crouch?

the man can play football, whats to not like?

i didnt mean 30 chances, i meant enough chances that he should have scored 30... anyway, its a decent return, but i still dont rate him.

He is too slow and weak.

I think Crouch would be an OK signing but not my first choice by a long way. Scoring goals isn't everything - Marcus Bent has scored about the same this season and he has his manager going about saying he misses chances his wife could score. I reckon Crouch would struggle to score many goals playing as a lone striker in our system, I'd rather RSC or better still stick with what we've got in Boj.

Too slow and weak to bang the goals in on a regular basis?

but that's how we ended up with benjani isn't it?
class is permanent, form is temporary. it also cuts both ways.
but then crouch was always undoubtedly better than benjani. dunno. undecided on whether we should make a shirt big enough for him.
