We can still dream can't we

Peter Crouch

Crouch and Aguero has a nice ring to it

You have to admire Peter Crouch”s Twitter game. Not only if he happy to share epic pictures of him standing beside very very small jockeys but he also has a very good sense of humour of where his career is at right now.

To be fair the giant striker has had a decent stint with some of the better than average Premier League sides, and hasn’t done too badly for a man when asked what he would have been if it wasn’t for football responded, ‘a virgin’.

So with Manchester City under FFP guidelines and needing to have 8 English players in their squad next season to comply with home-grown rules, it makes sense they would be looking to try and capture a proven player from the Premier League. According to today’s Daily Express City were interested in signing Crouch as a English replacement for the soon to be departing Frank Lampard.

However the man himself has ruled out the move in a pretty funny tweet this afternoon:

If Crouch had signed we had visions of him doing his best Niall Quinn mid 1990’s for City. Unfortunately it seems that fans will have to keep their famous ‘disco-pants’ tune to themselves for little while longer.
