derby had just signed 7 midfielders in 2006 and were pushing for promotion,
he impressed at millwall on loan however suffered a serious inj resulting in lack of performances... and then his form dipped as did millwalls...
im not trying to justify he is amazing, but certainly i dont think he looks that bad and he def has bags of pace and a good touch..

Bothroyd played far more games, more regularly and more consistently at a higher level.

- Arsenal, Played a few Carling Cup games - Think that's called not being given much of a chance.
- Leicester loan, 17 league matches in a 7 month spell - He was in their first team when he first joined but then got injured and lost his place in the first team.
- Derby loaned him out to get him match fit, Millwall must of seen something good about him otherwise they wouldn't of re-signed him.
- Again got injured, was loaned out to Southampton to gain match fitness, was obviously not up to match fitness that's why he only featured 8 times.
After that, Aug 2009, taken on by Palace. Lasted six months playing few games - That's because he only had a short term contract! They only offered him a short term contract because he wasn't match fit at the time and was struggling with injuries.
- Basically he's been unlucky with injuries and hasn't really been given a chance to get back up to match fitness, he's now done that at the MLS and you can see that he's now found his form as shown in the video against Man Utd!
-He's also set his sights 'low' on his previous signing in Joe Mason from League 2 Plymouth, there both young players with bags of potential! Worth a go on only £2,000 a week!!

Only scored 1 goal in 68 games with the other clubs he's been with except Kansas though, but he does look like he can get a few assists with that deadly low cross from the left and maybe a year out in the MLS has done him good by giving him alot of confidence, etc.
So he looks decent playing for Kansas in the land of the Yankee Doodlers.
Far be it for me to shit all over the first post of somebody excitedly creating a thread based around someone he believes he's spotted who could benefit us, but there are two words providing the evidence against.
Eddie Johnson.
As in, which MLS team did he play for? Which team did he look like a "star" for?
That video is against Man Utd! If that's not playing against a team of hight standard then what is!
