Bale is still at the top of his game, whereas Peter Crouch is now a 37 year old free agent and will most likely be thinking of packing in?
If Micky was to contact him, you never know, he could be persuaded to give us a season depending on whether or not he still wanted big money to play?
All pie in the sky, but imagine being able to bring him on in a game at L2 level?
Let's be honest, we were all amazed when John Aldridge came here, although we were a second tier side at the time.
Crouch is deffo an impact player and not the fittest of players, but for the sake of a phone call lol.
The difference with Aldo was that at that time we were paying big doe, top flight money. I personally feel part of the bubble burst for us came when Roy Keane signed that 30k a week contract which at the time was an incredible amount of money, I think PJ baulked at that, up til that point we were in the ball park wage wise for mid table PL stuff, we were paying current internationals like Also, Nevin, O’Brien, 2 or 3 others went on to feature long term in Premiership line ups.
