Crouch?
that is real harsh on Toni. he holds the all up magnificently, has a good shot, accurate headers, can dribble well for a big guy and he is not a slow as you are saying.
He was great last season and has been pretty good this one. He is also very good for Italy (not a great WC but still his striker ratio is good overall). did u see him in the friendies against the Netherlands and Germany before the WC? he is a good player.
and scoring goals is what matters.
all that stuff about being awkward, slow, no technique could apply to Trez. But he is still fantastic at scoring goals and is a great CF. He is one of our best players.
I think it would make more sence to Keep Trez than pay for Toni. Trez has done so much and is already integrated.
Next season Toni will be 31 and it is not worth buying him. But no need to down play his form and quality in the recent past
