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.

    Not the most exciting ITK news but he did get a call-up from postman-pat in the championship whilst playing for a foreign club!
    If he is free let him come and try his stuff, it could be worse. Harry does have a knack of picking up shit and making em half decent (a’la Nwankwo Up a Paddle) Squad player at best but more hungry than PSB! Just my IMO dont beat me down in flames.

    If someone can kindly confirm that Sky Andrew is this bloke’s agent I think we can all safely consign this rumour to the 2011 Transfers That Had As Much Chance Of Happening As Harry Hotspur Ditching His Pop-ups Bin.

    There we go (if you believe Wiki – other references on talksport BBC etc).

    Hang on…..he’s also Defoe’s agent! How did Levy ever deal with that one? :freu

    Maybe we should hang on with the binning of this… :unsure:

      Harry Redknapp for the alleged charges of tax evasion – or Harry Hotspur for crimes agains the internet, blogging and faux-intellectualism?

      • Harry Hotspur says:

        I think you mean pseudo intellectualism.
