Kendall wants Crouch

[Kay20]

as it is our play is overly dependent on crosses coming in, attacking down the flanks is somewhat effective but i think this strategy explains our high number of draws and low scoring rate because teams can just load the box with bodies. its also the least effective way to chase games. if we signed crouch literally our entire attack would come from crosses, i think what we need is a creative player like pienaar who can both do a job on the wing and cut inside effectively to create plays in the middle and make sure opposing teams have to defend multi-dimensionally

crouch has a very poor strikerate (even if you consider that most his appearances have come off the bench). this would be a terrible signing imo. I don't hate crouch, and i used to somewhat rate him, but he really doesn't contribute much aside from header goals, which really are the only thing we're capable of scoring at the moment. i think spurs use him effectively, but if we're going to play one striker up front it should be someone who can do a job with the ball at his feet.

100% agree. Tim handles the headers and scoring off set pieces, don't see a need there. Someone with a finishing touch that can handle the ones Beckford can't seem to put away? That's what we need. Nice post.
