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.

    anyone know the rule?
    if man city get rubbed out of the CL for breaching the financial fair play, do we get their spot?

    “City have already signed two defenders in the transfer window, Stefan Savic and Gael Clichy, and Rummenigge added: “I think they are going to have 48 players under contract but according to Financial Fair Play they can have only 25.

    “According to their last balance sheet, if I’m correct, they’re down £127 million. Maybe they still have a trick up their sleeves but I’m not sure that they will be permitted to play in the Champions League.””

      1. Citeh are demoted from the CL.
      2. The Olympic Legacy Committee admits its mistake and awards us the stadium plus £100 million compensation.
      3. Crouch scores 20 goals for us next season.
      Spot the connection.

        I think Platini & co are quite sereious about this and they might want to make an example out of man city to reinforce their point. go for the biggest rule breaker and everyone else will fall into line

  • HH, we are defo a G-string outfit not second string.

    Plus, this cad was meant to be a defo signing for us but in the words of Pulp: “Something Changed”

    Good luck and God speed.
