Crouch scores.......

2 on Pompey debut! Well done lad!!

Can't help but think he might come back to haunt us one day?

[ronanm]

He probably will - but if I had to choose between him and Torres... He just wasn't prepared to play second fiddle. He will miss his most lucrative scoring gounds though - Europe

Agreed. Crouch v Torres = No Contest.

I do think, however, Crouchie will hit the ground running with Pompey and expect him to be a big success there. I hope so (not at our expense of course) because he truly is a very good footballer all said and done and I for one would have liked to have seen more of him in a red shirt.

He'll do well but he isn't Torres so its no biggie

No he ain't he's Crouchie and he is a biggie.

He's a class act. I expect he'll carry on getting England call-ups on the back of his pompey performances.

You might just see the future England Front line developing with Crouch and Defoe?

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Defoe hasn't really performed for England but a player like Crouchie could really make him a better player.

Crouch scored a header from a corner ! as far as i can remember the last time he done than for us was United in the Cup in '06

correct me if i'm wrong please =)

Shame we couldnt keep him, Crouch is a class act and will score goals for fun.

Yup, the last good corner kick we had...

True.

I think Crouch scored a header directly from a corner in the away leg at PSV in the 06/07 CL. Or was it Bordeaux? Or both?

Bordeaux was from a corner.

Scored a header v PSV too, but think it was in open play (cross from the right by Finnan?), if I remember correctly.

Got to say i don't give a monkeys as long he has a a mare against us and bangs in some goals against our major opposition, he is now like any other opposition player.

He's not. He's taller.
