Doesn’t get a lot of service but scores when provided. I’d just seen that he scored again today I feel like a club like Everton for example could probably use him as a plan b type striker, he’s getting on but he’s not a player who relies heavily on speed so could probably go for another few years. And in terms of England I only mention him because outside of Kane and Rashford we have no strikers. It would be a dark time for us if Ashley Barnes is who were relying on but as seen in the past the likes of Crouch, Carroll and Vassel getting caps a player like Barnes or even Glen Murray picking one up is not inconceivable Crouch has a brilliant scoring record for England. 22 goals in 42 games is not to be sniffed at. It's a great statistic.

He stepped up when plenty of England strikers didn't though, regardless of who the opposition was. Ashley Barnes is waaaaay less talented than Crouch, I think giving him an England cap would be so strange.

I’m just throwing names out there, Crouch was one of those players nowhere near the likes of Rooney or Owen but he still got picked. Crouch is better than Barnes but all I’m saying is if he remains this clinical he’ll be in the 15-20 goal a season club which is enough to get picked for England
