It seems that he may be available for round one, but my reaction was just a mere shrug and move on. Am i underestimating the man Aker labels a 'nuisance'?

29Very. His negating skills and the pressure he applies is vital!0%12Only of semi importance. Easily replaced.0%4We need him when we're up against the best midfields.0%12I can see him slowly being weeded out.0%1 -

One more on deck!

The mind games have started. No doubt this has got the eagles in a panic.

I think you are. If he can get under Aker's skin (and a lot of others), he must have something. But I think he has more than that. His pace is phenomeonal and his determination, second to none. I wouldn't say he has the skills of a Davis or a MOL, but a hard, fast and unrelenting and uncomprimising player.Originally posted by DeadlyAkkuret
I for one will be very happy to see him back.
And, BTW, I think the term Aker used was "serial pest" & "cheat"

I am very happy Crouch is back. May take him a little while to get back to his great playing. Aggressive all the time.
So if he can play this week - its a plus for the team and supporters.Love those Swans

Crouch is a slow starter back from injury. He'd have to play very well against Port to be considered for the WC game.
He's a nice to have, but I wouldnt be rushing him back.Comment

there is no question about his importance on the team, I have almost no doubt he was the difference in the GF last year...
I honestly can't wait to see him back on the field again....being a pain in the butt to all and sundryyou know what they say, dirty pants- clean bottyComment

Not quite true. He broke his collarbone in Ireland and would have missed half a season had it not coincided with the off season. So his return in round 1 2005 was a 'comeback' from injury as he spend most of the pre season on the sidelines (and yes I do recall he struggled a bit).
P.S I'm not sure if I like the public voting system??Last edited by hammo; 14 March 2007, 08:41 AM."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

I rate him when he's fit. He sucked last year because he was selected even when he was obviously injured. When he's fit, he's easily in our top 10. A "shock return" to play in round one is just a shocking return to the behaviour that caused him to miss the end of last season IMO. Give him a few more weeks to get right.Comment

When I think of Crouch, I don't really think of his defensive pressure, I picture him steaking through the middle delivering well into the F50. I know he has great defensive skills but I can't really remember any incidences of them, probably shows how well he was doing his job.

I picture him racing through the centre and then delivering poorly with a tumble punt.
At his best he was fantastic for us. However, I have a feeling that he's well past his best, and hence I wonder how long he will be in our top 22.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

How would we know? This is his first "return" from injury in his career.
