Has Crooks had his hernia fixed? He'll be nothing more than a passenger until it is.

Also read on here that he hasn't who knowsRead on here that Crooks has had his hernia operation (in Germany)
If he had it fixed he wouldn’t have been a sub last night, takes 4-6 weeks to recover.Read on here that Crooks has had his hernia operation (in Germany)
Well according to the stats he’s been involved in more goals than any other boro player this season and only Giles has created more chances than him, so I’d say it was an accurate appraisal.That’s a very generous appraisal of Jones last 20 to 30 games.
Totally different scenario. During his best spell e was on the right of a midfield 3, not the player expected to supply the width and deliver into the box. Totally different to being a right midfielder/winger in a four across midfield.Crooks best spell at the Boro was playing on the right side linking up with Jones. Jones being completely out of form means Crooks will instead form a partnership on the right with Smith or Djiksteel. Crooks flick on headers and defensive Ariel cover on the right seems a big bonus for us to utilise. Crooks works hard to get up and down the pitch so with Howson holding a McGree, Hackney and Crooks middle 3 sounds good to me?
Very little to offer ? 11 goals last season suggests otherwiseCrooks offers very little other than being a big bloke in the box at corners. Hes a yellow card in waiting. He can't time a tackle , has very little ball skills No pace . Poor passing ability. A 3rd division player at best.
I think Jones is going to play a pivotal role in this formation Carrick is playing because we absolutely need pace and Jones has it. Did you notice the 3-4 times diagonal ball over the LFB for jones to go clear and he shouldve really scored or come close...In place of Jones?
He'd be getting in the way of chuba then though.....If we played 433 - Crooks could play a false number 10 with Jones the right side of the midfield 3
Fast recovery if he did also Giles is a very poor defender he needs somebody behind him to play that role take a look at his defending last night he was Easily beaten.Read on here that Crooks has had his hernia operation (in Germany)
I had high hopes for him when he first arrived, but i just don’t see where he fits into our side - he doesn’t offer enough as a ten and he’s too lightweight for a midfield role. I’m nervous every time someone passes him the ball in our half as he gets robbed of the ball far too oftenIf I'm getting responses from Alex the kid and Kelloe, then it must mean I'm on the right track.
McGree has been a poor signing and he was shocking last night.
