What about a cheeky £4million bid for Jay Bothroyd in January. Could stand in for Fuller. Tin hat on.

We could have had him for about £500,000 after we had him on loan and didn't take up the option, so we won't want him now.

It always pissed me off in his time here that we played him more on the wing that in his natural position up-front.

Wouldn't touch him, can't understand his call up to the England team and the fact he has been called up doesn't warrant a £4M bid. He's decent enough at Champ level but that's it and we need to be targeting better if we are to continue to progress

His contract expires in the summer, 4 million would be loony

He never got a game in 2008 so he will not get a game in 2011

£4m for a Championship level player? Stand in for Fuller when Cardiff use him as the target man? No, no and thrice no.

its a farce. Capello picks him because he's the top scorer in the Championship, but how come Peter Whittingham didn't get his chance last year? or Ebanks-Blake the year before?
A distinctly average player, and it's just appalling he is in that squad. The same goes for Scott Loach too.

I think some people on here are being a bit harsh on Bothroyd. It didn't help that he was played almost exclusively on the wing at Stoke. But even so, he looked a far better player than his fellow loanee, Ameobi, did. And Ameobi is still very much in Newcastle's matchday squad in the Premier League.
I've no idea if Bothroyd can cut it in the Prem - by the same token, I have no reason to say that he can't. He's scoring much more freely than Fuller did in the Championship and he made the step up ok.

He would have been a better option than bloody John Walters up front and I've said that even before we signed the big arsed bugger.

It's a close call between Eidur and JW as to who has the biggest backside John, although the new shorts don't help!!!
Skiing this time around? If so, where? Feel free to send a PM reply before we get abused for being elitist!

PIsser!
The debate between Jimmyg and Lakeland about the relative merits of skiing in obscure versus non-obscure resorts......followed by trevo's no nonsense take on the relative merits of Mr Bothroyd..... is why i fucking love this site.
Quality!

If he was 8-9years younger, maybe, but fact is he's now as good as he is ever likely to be, which isn't good enough to lace RF10s boots
