Not Gooner quality??
He scored a hatrick against the arse 2 seasons ago!!
If a game was won by pointless passing Arsenal would be Premier League Champs!!But u have to get the ball in the Onion Bag mate!
Crouch is similiar to Adeboyar because his a target man and he can hold the ball up very well.
Why not break the habit of a lifetime Wenger and sign an English player!!
