Bought him once, sold him twice.....tell you something?

 

Now its 2-2 which is a score I remember all too vividly under Redknapp's guidance.

I think he just looks awkward which masks a lot of good things he does on and off the ball. I really rate him.

 

I always liked Crouch as a player and he did in some ways remind me of Paulo Wanchope... who equally looked big, gangley and awkward with a ball at his feet but actually had more control over the ball than it appeared. :o

Paul Sturrock bought him from Aston Villa, not Harry.

 

Thats correct, Paul Sturrock bought him for 2m, but Sky Sports news are saying Harry Redknapp bought him to Saints. Although he didn't sign him for us he did get the best out of him. His good season or half a season he had with us got his career back on track, I guess thats why he loves Harry so much and why he wants to be with him again.

Superskate (scum as they call him) is hillarious! keep up the good work!

 

I say, they're not very polite and welcoming to their South coast neighbours.

 

"Oi, superskate **** off you C**T!" :(

 

Whenever our pet skates make an appearance on SWF we're always friendly and much more articulate with our words. Some people...

Whatever happens, it won't be Harry's fault. :) How unlucky is he that Ledley King and Jonathan Woodgate are injured. no one could have predicted that. :rolleyes:

 

And Dawson, don't forget Dawson.

 

Maybe he'll get Calum Davenport in as cover.

 

Maybe not.

Yes but they are wrong.

 

Crouch at Southampton 09-07-2004 until 20-07-2005

 

Redknapp manager : 08-12-2004 until 02-12-2005. After Crouch signed we'd already been through Sturrock and Wigley by the time Redknapp arrived.

 

And FWIW Crouch only made 18 starts for Saints in the League (and 9 sub appearances) with 12 goals, plus 5 FA Cup games scoring 4.

 

Hardly stellar, but enough to get him a move to Liverpool for a £5m profit. One of Rupert's better pieces of bull-spotting.

If I recall correctly, the 'blame' for the arrival of "2 metre Peter" was given to one R Lowe on this site's ancestor. Hence, 2MP was booed during his early appearances for Saints.

 

How quickly we forget.........

Unlike Jelle Van Damme, who by all accounts was given a right b0ll0cking at half time during the Swindon friendly in 2004 by Sturrock for constantly chipping the ball 30 yards in the direction of Crouch's head instead of passing it.

YES- it's all about MONEY ....and that top players need to play in top teams.

 

However, HR's friendly barrow-boy persona seems to go home with a lot of players, thats why he likes take THEM with him when HE moves.
