The newspaper said, the Gunners have agreed a fee with Red Star for the Serbia & Montenegro international, who at 202 cm is the tallest player in football.

Ye worlds tallest player has signed apparently another crouch for Arsenal.

Blimey, how many strikers do they need :eek:

Unless they're getting rid of some?

I'm still hearing that Reyes is unsettled and wouldn't be surprised if he left in the summer.

The general feeling on Saturday, is that none of us think that Tel will be around next season, so we'll be left with RVP, so another striker wouldn't be a surprise.

I don't know much about Zigic anyway, but I presume he's pretty useful in the air.

Henry leaving is what I was hinting at

It would be a shame to see him leave these shores, but that could mean that E'to is going the other way...

Your sitting in the wrong part of the ground then

Henry will be here next season, as will Reyes. I've only heard him saying he is happy now. I expect to see Reyes on the left next season with Pires leaving, and Bergkamp retiring. So there would be a need for an extra striker, imo

Zigic has 55 goals in 77 games, so he appears to be fairly useful.

Zigic is pretty handy on Football Manager 2006, can play a bit aswell as being handy in the air.

Mackass · 20 Mar 2006 at 00:24

According to some people I know, he's better than Crouch in nearly every aspect of his game.

Gilly · 20 Mar 2006 at 00:52

Is that not about 6.6 feet?

Tallest player in footy? Thats not all that tall :/

Nothing wrong with Football Manager. Ronaldinho was awesome in that game back in 1999/2000.

I'd have thought that about Crouch

I've heard reports of his height ranging from 6.5 to 6.10

Well, Crouch is 6'7" so he must be taller than that to be the tallest player in the world.

Royality · 20 Mar 2006 at 09:31

Footy manager tells me Crouch is 198cm and Zigic is 202cm. However I always thought Crouch was 6'7 so it's probably wrong. Either way he's bloomin' tall!

fuz · 20 Mar 2006 at 10:25

Crouch is 201cm I believe although it seems to range from 198-202. I think Ed de Goey and Shaka Hislop are both around the same

Heres a video of a goal he got against Roma earlier this season:
