Just chatting to a mate who dosent rate Peter Crouch. He says that he is a complete donkey and is not good enough for the Premiership.
I disagree, I feel that he is an important player for Liverpool and should definatly go to the World Cup.
But neither of us watch him week-in, week-out so what are your views on the big man?

In a word, Solid. When he gets the ball I am not concerned about whats going to happen, which I can't say about our other strikers, he holds the ball up well and creates room for other players. Unfortunately I don't think Sven Gone Eriksson will appreciate this. He doesn't bag enough goals to be the striker England need.

I think that people see people of Peter's build (lanky) as donkeys and also, with him being not the most prolific of strikers people think he is simply rubbish.
There are many factors to his game that I admire and I feel that he is a different option for England and I would be disappointed not to see him in the World Cup squad. It not not a coincidence how many goals England have scored with Crouch on the pitch.

If fit Crouch will go to Germany IMO.
He is an added option and has the capability to change a game when we are the odd goal down.
I would like to see how some of the South American sides deal with him.

Peter Crouch is not a donkey, the donkey is a 14 million waster called Cisse who does next to nothing when he is on the pitch for us.
Houllier should buy him off us for Lyon and give us a decent sum, even if it's nowhere near 14 million.

How about, we sign Traore, then loan him out to whoever we're playing every game. That sounds good.

Crouch is a solid player. Good at holding the ball up and has a suprising deft touch for a man his size. I would love to see what he could do in Germany. Some of the smaller defensive teams would have a lot of problems with him.

Good footballer, if anyone says otherwise they're talking out of their backside.
He's not world class but he's by no means poor.

I dont see why he couldnt play a big role in the world cup for England. With the fire power that is around him he doesnt really need to.Owen poaching goals by getting into space that he creates, Crouch bringing Lampard and Gerrard forward witha few fince touches. Also with Beckham bending in some nice crosses i can see him being a real ariel threat.
Good Luck Crouch!!!!!

Is it just me or this is a wind up?
I might buy that this people says he doesn't watch Crouch playing often, but I don't buy that he reveals us how he is. We all know. And he used donkey twice.
