anyone not happy with dj and bothroyd?

[QPROslo]

As I said, you have to walk before you run. Both strikers could play for a mid-table Prem side, so if we pull both signings off it'll show good ambition to stay in this league. Those two are not 'enough', but the intent shown will attract others to join.

Could be the start of something very good. Better than Swansea are doing, and they've done well. Norwich however...

BennyBoy is absolutely right - two strikers worthy a mid Premier League side, say Stoke, Bolton or Fulham. I think this says a lot for a team expected to fight relegation. I am more than happy, but I won't hold my breath yet as I understand we have not agreed salaries and that's the hardest bit of course.

Campbell scored 13 goals for B'pool last season. That would have been close to 20 had he played for a team in the top half. That says a lot - we can't possibly expect to attract players much better than that if we are fair to ourselves. An England international in Bothroyd would also be magificent. But seeing is believing!

It's all coming together nicely, makes the ST renewal worthwhile, not that It made any difference though as I would have renewed anyway.

They are the best players we could of got, delighted!

Much better value for money then Morrison, Vaughan, Graham & CMS

thing is medicals always come after everything else agreed so assuming he passes ,the deal will be done surely no???????????? you dont do the medical if you havent agreed

[stainrodisalegend]

Agree with Benny, Eastcotte, James and others.

Don't know how it stacks up with wages/ bonuses etc included but I'm guessing Bothroyd and Campbell combined would work out at about the same expense as Graham - and I'd certainly take the two together over Graham. I might even take DJ on his own over Graham, given that he is now a proven Premiership player. As for Bothroyd v Graham, Graham scored a few more goals last season but it was Bothroyd who caught Capello's eye. As for Morrison, don't think he is fit to tie either's bootlaces (IMHO).

Not counting chickens - board capable of refusing to sanction the deals - but IF they sign it would be brilliant business by the club and a reminder that our owners wouldn't have made all that money if they were TOTAL clowns.

DJ scored 13 in the Prem, £23m Darren Bent was the only Englishman who scored more.

Jay has bagged 20 for Bardiff the last two season, plus alot of assists.

Seriously brilliant piece of business, just hope we arent counting our chickens too soon! Was starting to think I was a mug for buying a ST!!!!

get these two pronto.....lift the mood tenfold. 3/4 more decent signings and we will at the very least "put up a show"!! achieve the impossible and keep adel as well and we will have a very good season-taking a couple of big scalps on the way!!! chelsea at home would be nice.........

i've always thought that was the case too, i hope so anyway!

[LoftusRoadLad]

If (and its a big if) they do sign. Im sure Tarbs would wonna stay with us and they would be a great carrot for others to sign even Routy.

again the board must have sanctioned the deal to get ot medical stage, maybe if proven they didnt fancy graham cms etc they may have had a point as you say

Agree Eastcotte that is certainly how it works at a normal football club - but this close season its as if there have been two different power blocks in operation. Warno - perhaps with Gianni - seems to have agreed quite a few deals only for the board to pull the plug. Cautiously delighted by these developments but am not taking anything for granted till I see him posing in the famous blue and white - of Rangers not Everton...

i suppose th eone consolation is that we know bernie and flavio in the country cos of silverstone so they will be aware not like when there all over the world and not aware

[easyR]

In conclusion, it seems we all would be delighted with these.....IF signed.

(Baring one or two strange ones who havent provided serious alternatives.

indeed, and with the grand prix done and dusted prob today was about the first day they properly sat down and talked about qpr (i'm guessing).
