Selling Crouch?

[Ryan]

If we could make our money back on Crouch right now, I'd sell him in a heartbeat.

GREAT to see you Del boy.

Crouch created 4 assists last season. The whole season long. 4 assists. 4.

Your argument has now boiled down to "But he's not there to score goals", fair enough, I've now told you he doesn't provide many assists either, so that basically leaves us with 'his mere presence is a distraction and he puts off defenders', we should have saved the £7M and bought a big fcuk-off scarecrow.

That isn't too far removed from what we did do.

He's a £7m scarecrow.

You do know that was somebody else your replying to now. I think your getting a bit confused.
Ok, so now your going the stats route, yadda, yadda, yadda,.....
Answer me one question honestly?
Do you think Peter Crouch contributed to our large improvement in the league, compared to the year before? I'll even make it simple for you;

1. Yes, definitely.
2. He did his share.
3. Maybe a little.
4. No way! he's an OAF!!

Now just to be clear for you, I said contributed, not solely responsible for, ok...

Call me strange, but I expect a lot more from a £7M striker than "lay offs and hold up play"...

I just don't like him.

Heskey, in his first season with us was unstoppable, and certainly had it within his capabilities to go on to be one of the most powerful, fearsome strikers in the game. Unfortunatly, his motivation, and will-to-prove-himself were and always will be lacking.

Am I glad he left? Yes.
Do I wish Crouch would leave? Yes.

you dont like him??? would never have guessed

So for 7million who would you take instead??

GREAT to see you Del boy.

Likewise mate. I wondered where the old boys were knocking about. A load of reserves have been *promoted* at KT so it's becoming a bit of a Dunk wankfest again. Perhaps I'll stick around......

Welcome aboard mate.

Any chance you brought Keniget with you ?

A large part of our improvement last season on the previous year's efforts was due to the fact that we had no latter stages of the Champions League, we conceded FAR less goals, and had a fit Steven Gerrard for the majority of the year. If you view our goals scored category and compare it to the previous year's, you'll see that they're remarkably similar. We gained more points last season, because we conceded less goals.

You could say he contributed, but then you could say that about Pongolle or Traore too. By merely being part of the squad he contributed.

All in all though, he was ZERO improvement on Milan Baros, and I didn't like him either.

Not yet....

It's hilarious actually. Any attempts to post the details to Ryan's hideaway have been deleted in an instant. I think they've got someone guarding the shoutbox 24/7 just in case.

It's been quite amusing giving them work to do though.

Must mail you soon.

Is your old email address the same?

Great shout. Very good poster.

Tell me about it, just got a strike for posting 'est 1892' as Single was trying to get hold of Ryan! That Livvy is a real tosspot. Anyone seen the link on Newsnow, 13:31 news item.

Jesus, I really couldnt make it any simpler, just pick 1,2,3, or 4.

Great shout. Very good poster.

Doesn't the fact that he starts every post with 'Heh' annoy you? Gets right on my tits, is he the Fonz?

I can't argue with any of that. Good post.
