If that didn’t get your attention then arguably little will. I could weep.
And a very ‘good morning to you’, too.
Jamie Bothroyd’s name has been cropping up with alarming regularity of late and slowly slowly it is beginning to emerge that this tale has legs. Which sounds like something Sid Trotter would say or at least Gerald Scarfe would draw.
And now a chap on Spurs Community, with the username of CorlukaModric says that Bothroyd is training with Sir Ledley King at David Lloyd in Finchley.
Championship sure shooter Bothroyd has been linked with a host of second string outfits. QPR, Celtic and Everton. And now us! Cynics, naysayers and disgruntled whipper uppers will tell you that this is a typical Arry signing. Little to base this on in truth, other than the fact the boy speaks English fluently and has displayed a healthy work ethic.
He’d be on a free of course and perhaps, cheap to feed. But where would we be heading here? Is this Frasier Dumbell 2.0? An argument might be made that if he could be signed and scored half a dozen goals between now and Christmas that in the Mental Asylum of the Premiership he could suddenly be worth £10M come Christmas Day.
My view is we have a squad the size of the Moscow State Circus and as many hangers on as their high wire act. I’d rather we culled a few of our minor celebs before getting ‘punts’ like Bothroyd in.
You could be correct, Harry, about the size of the squad (though it’s not so much numbers but the quality of the individual digits involved), but you may be off base about Bothroyd. If he can be called up for England while playing and scoring for a Championship club, there must be something to him. His work ethic seems superior. If only he were 12 years or so younger. A Tommy Lawton. Ah, but those were the days.
Fair comment old bean. If we sign this guy then I wish him nothing but 25+ goals a season. But I’m just a tad nervous. Tommy Lawton, eh? ;-)
Rasiak more like, I’m afraid to say!
I’d love to poach you from Transfer Tavern. Come on in the blogging’s lovely :winke:
‘Arry can’t resist a bargain..and a free transfer usually means bungs all round. sign him, loan him out to QPR and sell him at a profit in january. That should cover all the his fines and legal costs :P
Transfer Tavern,i questioned their skills the other day and they changed my message to, Frontwheel i am a wanker and a moron,it must be the only time they done any research
So you got sussed out there too :freu ;-) :winke: :heart: :kissing: :blush: :blink: :daumen:

Meh
Learnt a new word have we?
Nooooooooooooooo!! Living in Cardiff I’ve seen this guy play. He makes thudd look like the waiff moss!
