Pork pie land.
Yes, all back up players apart from Vicente, who was injured for the last couple of seasons before we took a risk.

SO go on, name a few strikers you think we should be interested in, that are better and more proven at Championship level than Bothroyd...

Bobby Zamora, and no doubt there would be many more. The problem is obviously the cost, not their willingness to come to The AMEX I am sure.

Its on transfer rumours and hopefuly it`s bollox ,his goal rate last season was shit,we need a prolific goals scorer if we can`t find one might as well stick with CMS

Does this 'prolific goal scorer' exist, apart from Lambert and Holt in the last couple of seasons in the Championship, where are they ? (sensible question, not an argument!)

This guy was/is on the fringes of the England squad - Could we afford him ?

It really is time for a reality check !

If they are doing the business now mega bucks ...out of our reach and a queue of other clubs after them and the guy would hav a good agent

Bothroyd,would be a good signing,but lets not get carried away that he would come cheap,a premiership striker (just ). I would not be surprised at all that wages again would cause a problem.

Hasn't delivered since joining us but as someone said earlier he has a decent record in the Championship. Supposed to be on £60k - go halves???

Nearest we are going to get to BZ with our current budget. If true great signing for us. Not convinced of the source though.

Who the f*** do some people think we are?

We're being linked to a player who is a big strong center forward, and scored 18 goals in his last championship season, which was only 2010/11, hardly years ago.

Yet still people wouldn't want him here. It's staggering. Who on earth do these peope realistically think we're going to be signing.

Christ.

Couldn't agree more. also played for England about a yr ago he moved wasn't it?!

But can't see it happening he's prob another 'out of our league'

I remember Bothroyd was at Wolves. The locals hated him and his inability to understand the offside rule, until he scored the winner against West Brom. After that he was a legend.

It is quite incredible how people have totally lost any sense of perspective about the club. He would probably make a decent signing.
