"Peter, what do you think you would be if you weren't a professional footballer?"

Crouch: "A virgin."

Priceless! He actually said that. I immediately liked him. :)

Nothing against him at all as a player, just not sure how he would fit in with Jelly. Would rather spend that money on someone with 'sell on value' - although we do tend to spit the dummy when we DO 'sell on'. ;)
 
I think he's better than people give him credit for too. Good scoring record, actually pretty gash in the air considering how ace you'd expect him to be. 8 mil though? No way, and it's never gonna happen.

The 8M isn't a problem. English strikers hold on to their value well into their late 20-30s. If Crouch is a bust and you need to recoup you losses you could still flog him off somewhere for 5-6M (see: Heskey, Beattie, Defoe).

He's lousy in the air at getting headers on goal but he's good at flick-ons playing hoof ball outside the box and can create scoring chances that way. He's got excellent feet an accurate shot and does his best against crap teams (which is what we were missing last year). Wouldn't be a bad buy, and would be some cover if Jelly gets injured or tapped up. Can't see him starting and Moyes getting away from a 4-5-1 unless he gets moved to the wing to create the wackiest wing pairing ever of Anichebe and Crouch.
 
I don't like him. He's a decent player, better than he's given credit before, but every time I've seen him play for Stoke he's acted a bit of a snide going down too easily and just being a bit of [Poor language removed].

Plus he used to play for them.

So it's a no from me.

You could argue that 'his pregnant girlfriend' is only with him for the money. making HER a ...

Crouch is more or less alluding to that anyway.

If we act as moral judges on players of other teams and waive the issue for our own, then we will be uncomfortably like the affables.

We need to find someone called I Scream to link up with Jelly.
