Crouch to leave for free?

[Abbey Road]

You'd think he was Marco Van Basten the way some go on.

Cult figure syndrome.

And you'd think he was Herman Goering the way others do.

I think what others are looking for and what you're a million miles away from is a sense of balance. You can't blame someone if they have stories written about them, you seem to think they were written by Crouchies own hand.

No smoke without fire. Crouch and his 'people' have been briefing the press for a long time, especially around the time he fell out of favour.

yeah whatever. he's done a ****ing good job since he arrived and he may or may not intend to see out his contract. its his perrogative if he so wishes to take this course of action. We bought him for £7m and we've had our money's worth including his wages. We don't have a devine right to get a sell on when we've finished with him.

So the tabloid rags don't make things up off their own backs eh mate?

Folk like me?

Knowledgable match goers who can see an average player when they see one, and couldn't care less whether they leave or not?

You're a legend in your own lifetime mate, take a bow.

Err, yes we do.

I think you've got lost on the way to the Peter Crouch benefit gathering.

but you do care, thats what the whole thread is about.

I find it hard to understand why people feel the need to dislike players personally or attack them when the problems with them are clearly to do with football. As Shaggy has said Crouch has rarely (if ever) come out with unreasonable statements and compared with many has born being out of the team with great calm. He did well for us for a while it is now probably best that both sides end the relationship but there should be no need for bitterness on either side.

[Abbey Road]

Does that apply to Voronin and various other scapegoats, many of whom were much better than Crouch.

I've got nothing personal against Crouch either, I just think he's crap.

yeah you're right, the guys a load of pony, that hatrick against arsenal was a fluke and as for those scissor kicks in the champions league.....

[Abbey Road]

He's had his moments, you expect at least that for 7 million quid.

Discounting the numerous innefectual games, sitters, silly fouls, painful lack of pace, and falling over his own big lanky legs.

Interviewer: "What do you think you would be if you weren't a footballer?"

Crouch: "I think I'd probably be a virgin."

Hello (first post)

Crouch quote is magic

I love some of the available smilies, particularly this one which I see is used extensively by many posters
