Crooks no good for goats (5)
I believe the answer is:
roues
'for goats' is the definition.
(both can mean lecherous men)
'crooks no good' is the wordplay.
'crooks' becomes 'rogues'.
'no' suggests deleting specific letters.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'rogues' with 'g' taken away is 'ROUES'.
I've seen this clue in The Times.
