Bothroyd Recalled By QPR

Can't be because they need him.

Brought back to sell I'd have thought.

or cisse going and harry having a look at him

I'd put a cheeky 200k bid in! if anyone can get that ego gone and him playing well it would be Malky!

He's the returning player??

I would take him back for anything under 500k

Oh god no, don't want him back, just keeping abreast of news of old players.

Or would he thrive with our midfield.

The bloke has a massive ego and the squad we have has no egos.He simply wouldn't fit into Malkys squad ethic plus he is a bottler.

I'd take him back. Would you rather him up front or Gestede? It's a no-brainer for me.

No thanks. I'd rather get DJ Campbell in.

At least Gestede tries and is not on his arse moaning all the time

When you put it like that, you are correct, but hopefully there are others better than both.

Jay please. 10x the player Gestede will ever be.

Jay is too stuck up his own ass and lazy. Would rather see Gestede give his all and try his hardest!

I don't think Malky would consider him at all personally. However if he did he wouldnt tske any s**t off Jay. Also Gestede's 'all' is still worse than Jay at 50%.

Only takes one moment of magic (eg QPR at home) to win a game. Somehow I can't imagine Gestede doing the same.

I think there very simiar players , Bothroyd is now 30 gestede is 23 . when bothroyd was 23 he was bouncing around charlton and wolves reserves sometimes making the first team just like rudy has been but jay didnt give a shit , the difference is rudy is still adjusting to british football and has the eagerness and ambition to improve himself as a player ! bothroyd hasnt .
Gestede everytime for me i think he has the potential to be a better player than bothroyd especially if he learns the physical side off heidur and the runs to make from bellamy .We could end up with one of the best target men in the country on our hands thats how much i believe in his abilities and really hope he gets the run in the side he needs to achieve it , he has shown glimpses of pure quality in a few games he has played in and is a decent finisher . Hes one for the near future imo !

Bet him for the first goal again tomorrow he will get a run in the team next few weeks .

Well said thomas ...ive been saying on here for months that he shows up in training very well and all he needs is a run of games

If he was free I would take a punt. We got the best out of him before and can do it again, especially with Noone and Bellamy providing good service.

Bothroyd won't be the same player from three seasons ago. We are better than him now. I would rather Gestede up top purely for Gestede's attitude... and I don't even rate Gestede!

Yes lets bring back the guy who slagged off all our fans via Twitter. Just what this club needs at this exact time.

I think there very simiar players

No they aren't. Bothroyd can score goals from anywhere, actually dribble, run properly and beat defenders with skill. He was one of the most technically gifted players I've seen at Cardiff on his day and had a fantastic touch. Yes he went missing, yes his head dropped at times, but you simply cannot compare the two players in terms of ability and style. Bothroyd is on a different level.

has the eagerness and ambition to improve himself as a player ! bothroyd hasnt .

Jay flopped at QPR and then flopped at Wednesday. Don't underestimate the drive of a player who needs to show he's still got it and prove a lot of people wrong.

i think he has the potential to be a better player than bothroyd

Oh dear. When has he ever shown this potential? Winning 1 in 6 flick ons? Completing a simple pass? Scoring a relatively easy chance against Millwall? I could link endless videos of Bothroyd goals that Rudy could only dream of scoring. On his day there is simply no comparison.

Furthermore, you (and many other city fans) talk of potential as if he's some 18 year old from the reserve team. He is 24 years old, surely he MUST be showing signs that he's a better player than Bothroyd by now. Surely? I'm not asking for miracles, but a few assists, a few goals. Take away Saturday's goal and Rudy's CV is looking somewhat bare.

if he learns the physical side off heidur and the runs to make from bellamy

IF he does that then that would be great. However it would also be great IF he could learn the finishing technique off Mason, the skills off Noone, the passing off Whitts etc. Unfortunately it comes down to the players own ability, and Rudy is miles off the pace in several departments.

We could end up with one of the best target men in the country on our hands

Dearie me. He won't even be the best target man at Cardiff as long as Helguson is with us. I do, however, admire your (somehwat delusional) faith in him.

he has shown glimpses of pure quality in a few games he has played in and is a decent finisher

Sorry I must have missed these. Where and when were these 'glimpses'? All I've seen is a 6ft 4 striker win about 25% of the balls directed to him and score one goal which he took well fair play. On the other side of the coin, which you HAVE to look at, he's missed a myriad of headers, flick ons and has a shockingly poor touch.

Decent finisher? No no no. On Saturday, I was in the Canton watching the players do that shooting drill. He was missing them all until it eventually became a bit of a joke. On the pitch itself I struggle to recall him demonstrating a 'decent' level of finishing ability. Let's be honest, he's known for missing, not scoring.

Hes one for the near future imo !

The future of League 1 maybe. If we go up, he'll be completely out of his depth in the Prem.

Admittedly, this may have seemed a tad harsh. I've defended Rudy on many occassions, specifically last season when he came under fire from all angles. However I have to disagree entirely with your post, as there is minimal evidence to support any of your statements.

Rudy Gestede is NOT at the level Cardiff City are aspiring to; nor will he ever be. It's the harsh reality in my opinion.

RUDY is not good enough.

Jay at his best WAS. His day has come and gone, he's been shite for Wednesday, and thats
working for a manager he really 'clicked' with.

Neither player will help boost our assault on the Premuership

His Ego and Arry wont work !

nah his heads gone. thought he was messi after his england cap. now he is just messy

Would still take him over Cisse
