Think we should have held on to Crow for at least one more season

He came on at Middlesborough last season for the last 10 minutes and scared the hell out of Gareth Southgate who until that point had been totally untroubled.

Not sure that Crow would have helped this season as he is a natural goalscorer and not necessarily a worker. Given the service our front men receive he could have struggled.

So my main concern at seeing him leave was his potential as a goalscorer as he made very intelligent runs in behind defenders and I think he has the ability to succeed.
