His own stupid fucking fault.

 

He was given the opportunity to move up here and play for us. He'd have been liked by the fans, he'd have been playing week in/week out, but Crouch is that far wedged under his missus' thumb that in the end he refused to move.

 

I'd still have him here without a shadow of a doubt but whether or not he'd be starting every game is debatable with the form Jones and Bent have been in this season.

Would he have really gotten in over Kenwyne Jones every week though? And if not over him would a partnership with him actually work?

That's why I said it's debatable.

 

And I doubt a partnership with Kenwyne would work, they're both similar players (Height, presence, better at heading than finishing). I'd rather we didn't play two players like Jones/Crouch up front anyway, because it usually means playing hoofball. I'd rather have someone like Bent who has the pace to cause problems and can also stick the ball away.
