Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp
is excited to be working again with new signing Peter Crouch.
"I think if you get the right service in he's unplayable," said
the 62-year-old. "Sometimes you have to learn people how to play
with Peter - he does different things.
"But he must be the easiest player in the world to play with.
Drop the ball up to Peter on his chest - that must be the simplest
thing.
"What an outlet. It's a dream.
"I was very surprised I got him from Liverpool to Portsmouth. I didn't think they'd let him go - he
did great there and scored some terrific things.
"He then did a terrific job at Portsmouth. His goals were instrumental in keeping
them up. Give him the right quality balls, you can't play against
him really."
Crouch stopped short of calling Redknapp a father figure,
though. "I've got a dad, to be honest," he replied.
But when he was asked for the difference from other managers,
Redknapp interjected with the revealing comment: "I always pick
him!"
And the White Hart Lane boss added: "There's nothing to stop me
playing three of them. It gives me good options. I have my best XI
in mind and I know how I want to go.
"I've given myself a nice problem. I wanted Peter because of
what he gives you - he holds the ball up and he scores goals."
