Have you actually watched Crouch play before CF? Or are you just assuming he scores a lot of headers because he is tall?
I agree he would get his head on a fair few crosses if we kept pumping them into the box, but if you actually looked at the amount of headers Crouch scored from crosses last season, it's not that many. His main strength is holding the ball up, whether its played into his chest or feet, exactly what is needed if Rafa persists with 4-5-1. There is no way he is going to play a'bit part' as you put it.
