That would be an excellent player for them TBH

but Watford have neither accepted or rejected and they are obviously using Swansea as a bidding tool for more money from QPR or anybody else , Jacks wont bid more plus they wont match the wages offered by QPR .

I had a funny feeling that Bothroyd could be playing in a swansea shirt next season :o but if its true that they have bid for danny graham then maybe Bothroyd isnt as good as he think he is :lol:

Why would they want one of the reasons why we did not go up last season ? If i was a Gypo and i am glad to say i am not then i would hate to have him there

because he would cost them £3 million less than Danny Graham

And a whole heap of trouble. They wont touch him with a barge pole IMO

Bothroyd ? He is not a premiership players

He spends most of his time on his arse & moaning

I think we are well shot of him

All this Bothroyd bashing is a little over the top... Yes he could be stronger and stay on feet, BUT it is not the players fault the manager would play him after no training, when all season we were crying out for a Target man to replace Jay when he was injured or off form and we had that in Parkin who started 1 game?

Yes Jay lost his way at the end... but so did we as a set of fans... We all became disilussioned with things and you think the players dont think like that? y coz there getting paid not to, not in the real world.

so youve never been in a job where ur boss is a complete numpty, and uve gone out on the piss during the week (and by piss u mean he was drinking cokes until 2 am) or done something you shouldnt of... He is only human he made a mistake, he gave 3 excellent seasons and I will not let that tarnish my thoughts on Jay because of one mistake... We could all see DJ was getting things wrong dont u think the players react just like every other human being would? and the phrase they get paid not to doesnt wash because the majority are honest boys who just play football...

18 league goals, in season where he played half the season injured...

But if i done something at my place of work that cost the Company an estimated 90 million quid then i would pay with my Job. Especially if it was down to gross misconduct.

Bothroyd said when we declared our interest in him 2 seasons ago that he'd never go to Swansea,he scoffed at it actually and made out we werent big enough for him and his talent.He'd jump at the chance now im sure.

Another case of little old Swansea having the last laugh.

Danny Graham we want,not that fake Bothroyd.

Why do you assume he'd jump at the chance now? He wouldn't have gone to Blackpool last summer. Exactly the same scenario

well if he's touting himself to go back to the championship with cardiff then the chance of premier league football with us must surely be tempting i'd have thought.Plus he could still keep his cardiff pad.Either way I wouldnt want him at SCFC.We've a smooth running ship and the likes of him could distable it.

Destabilsing is the right word. The system you've mastered the last few years would be perfect for Jay though, and in the perfect world that's why your hierarchy were more than interested. On his day, he's the most naturally gifted player I've seen in a Cardiff shirt and is premier league in all but name, although he's also everything that's bad about the over paid flat capped, All Saints Cardigan wearing,100 grand Range Rover driving wanker of the modern footballer. His post-England cap form was a main factor on us not sitting at the top table with you next season

Excellent post CG. It is a shame that JB9 wasnt dropped in favour of Parkin in March time. It might have been the wake up call needed by Jay who apart from Leon Jeanne was the most talented player that i have seen down NP/CCS.
