Oliver Lindop 15 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 In the paper today, it stated that crouch is 33-1 to be the top goalscorer of premiership next season. Would any of you guys put your money on it. Personally i think that defoe may score more goals than him at portsmouth, let alone the premiership. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like to see Crouch score a few goals this season. 33-1 is the sort of odds I would take so yeah, I'd part some of my cash on him (checks wallet and a dust ball falls out) er... forget that idea. But if I did, I would Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Crouch being top scorer is laughable, especially with players like: Tevez, Torres etc. I don't think Crouch can bag many goals this season, he's more of a target man.

fadedwolfz 1,231 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Re: Crouch to be top scorer? Crouch has improved leaps and bounds since he joined Liverpool. I thought he would be the perfect replacement for liverpool in case torres got injured. He is not afraid to shoot, his heading abilities has improved by a mile and he is willing to work for the team. IMO, Portsmouth has accquired a quality player for their squad and would be up there challenging for trophies and a place in the UEFA cup. The partnership of defoe and crouch would definitely strike fear in many premiership clubs. Crouch wont be top scorer definitely, but his contribution to pompey would be vital and could easily hit 10-15 goals in the league imo. cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rishabh Desai 972 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Re: Crouch to be top scorer? If He Is In The Top 6 goalscorers i will shave my hair in may:) LOL . I don't think he will be in the top 6 either but he is capable of scoring quite a few goals. I think he is going to do really well at Pompey. He did not have a bad season with Pompey in 01-02 in which he scored 18 goals in all competitions that season. If ha can adapt to Portsmouth's style of playing he could well score 10-15 goals this season imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrme17 67 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Re: Crouch to be top scorer? Yep, could probably contribute significantly for Portsmouth, but not top scorer material. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snowy4Liverpool 575 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Re: Crouch to be top scorer? I hopw he scores loads of goals at Pompy. And come 4th top scorer behind Torres, Kuyt and Villa @ Liverpool! :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nathan101 313 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Re: Crouch to be top scorer? No way top scorer. But if you were to offer me 33-1 on him being in the top six scorers I'd say that would be worth a small flutter if i were a gambling man (which I'm not). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony_Halpin13 35 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Re: Crouch to be top scorer? Not top scorer in my opinion but between him and Defoe they will score 40+ goals this season Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Magic J 10,640 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Re: Crouch to be top scorer? If He Is In The Top 6 goalscorers i will shave my hair in may:) Is this the same kind of thinking which you said if Benzema ever got 93 you would post a pic of yourself naked . . . . . But i very much doubt he will be top goalscorer, not that you said he would be. Those odds are very very much outsider odds might be worth a cheeky quid lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
danny_ccfc 328 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Re: Crouch to be top scorer? crouch isnt a bad outside bet however Ive already decided my money is going on Eduardo to scoop the golden boot. Its very possible, particularly if Adebayor leaves and Arshavin comes in. those 2 will be incredible together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think that top scorer is most likely to be torres or ronaldo (if he stays). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dai 7,302 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Re: Crouch to be top scorer? I think he has as good of a chance of being top scorer as anyone....He will be getting first team football and is a proven scorer so I don't know why so many are just dismissing it as laughable... 33-1 is a good outsiders bet...I will probably put a fiver on that (Just because I have plenty of money to burn ) I would say that Defoe has a better chance of being the top scorer but I wouldn't count the beanpole out so early.... Come on Crouchy, win me some money!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
defendyourself 13 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Re: Crouch to be top scorer? i know it is unlikely because of injury, but he could stay healty I think van persie has the scoring title in the bag. Arsenal and Man U are always in the top 2 in scoring in the prem, but ronaldo is missing time this season and ankle injuries are always tricky because players seem to come back to early and re-injure it. Nasri and Fabregas and pass first which leaves room for Van Persie and I promise you guys Adebayor won't even start if Eduardo comes back healthy and Van Persie is healthy. Wenger did this with Ashley Cole because there was a decent back up and if he has the chance will do the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We all know Van Persie is a highly talented player, however its a very big if when you say if he can be fit for the entire season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
