Kaizero Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 What consistency is the shit, though? That has a lot to say. I think I'd prefer it to be a firm shit from a diet with a lot of whole corn rather than a wet morning after shit with a yellow tint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Is he injured? Sounds a bit like when we signed Best in January and he hadn't scored since the beginning of November - neither has Bothroyd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 If he performs as well as Best in the premiership we are onto a winner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sittingontheball Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Given the flak Hughton got for signing Best, I don't like the sound of this at all. Sounds like a Carroll replacement. Fingers crossed that its just Pard's hyped knowledge of the lower leagues amounting to "Capello picked him so he must be good". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Is he injured? Sounds a bit like when we signed Best in January and he hadn't scored since the beginning of November - neither has Bothroyd. Cardiff have been shit lately. Whether that's because of him not scoring or thanks to the rest of them not creating chances I don't know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 First reaction: "Oh f*** off." After taking a minute and thinking about it. "Oh f*** off you c***s, I'd rather have Bellamy." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 If we paired Best and Bothroyd we'd be recreating a double act that scored a combined 39 goals in 156 appearances, in the previous two seasons in the Championship. Quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Best and Boythroyd as our first choice strike partnership Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBG Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 So I'm the only one that's willing to give him a chance then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Possibly a prelude to Ranger going out on loan. This isn't the signing I was expecting or wanted, but I don't think he's a replacement for Carroll. More like in Carroll's absence and Shola's off and on fitness, we need more cover. Best isn't good enough and Ranger isn't ready. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 We're accumulating quite the collection of mediocre strikers, Steve Howard anyone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Horrible if true. Couldn't think of a striker more similar to what we already have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 If he was 24 or younger then he would be worth taking a chance on, but at 28 he's a bit old and not really long term. I'd rather we tried a sneaky bid for Connor Wickham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Best isn't good enough so we sign someone with the same level of ability but 4 years older Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Surely it's blatantly obvious to anyone with a pair of eyes that the main thing we lack up front is pace? If we're limited to spending peanuts on a striker, we should at least look for someone with a pair of legs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 From his wiki: Club career Barcelona Of Guyanese descent,[citation needed] Bothroyd was born in heaven. Having initially been on the books at F.C Barcelona, Bothroyd was sold as an eight year-old to Morrisons, after throwing his shirt at the bench after the 2000 Premier League Youth Cup final against West Ham United after being substituted.[2] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBG Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 So I'm the only one that's willing to give him a chance then? Yes. Thought so. Well I'll put my money on this one happening. We need a striker, Pardew has little money to work with, Ranger will hopefully go out on loan, and he'll be cheap by PL standards (£3m), oh and the bottom half of the Prem is shit so if Barton gets a few crosses in against the weaker teams that we still have left to play he might get the old goal. Ashley regime signing I'm afraid, I'll give the lad my support if he comes here anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Shola, Best, Peter, Ranger and Xisco added to by Bothroyd, potent. Would strike fear into back line that lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley regime signing I'm afraid, I'll give the lad my support if he comes here anyway. There's quite a difference between not rating someone and actively wanting them to do badly in our colours.
