I'm not saying Crouch couldn't pass and whatnot but his mobility isn't there and Voronin was playing very well at the beginning of the season.
It isn't as bizarre as you are representing...

Okay, well I suppose if we sign a centre half for free in the summer and then play him ahead of say Skrtel, that would be fine then?
Crouch was top scorer last season and then suddenly found himself out in the cold because we signed someone on a free transfer.
It's pointless debating it with you though mate because you even admit yourself that you're not a fan of Crouch.
Crouch was bought to improve us in the league due to his physical atributes, as well as his technical ability. That proved to be a great signing by Rafa and it totally served its purpose - then it was scrapped.
