    Cardiff have had some good players over the years, and I was just wondering would you be happy if Brendan brought some of them to Swansea?

    Would you mind seeing Bothroyd in black and white or would you oppose it?

    Personally, I wouldn't like it that much, but It wouldn't stop me supporting the Swans

    Oooh as much as i think Bothroyd is a good player i dont think he would be to welcome around these parts.... It would take something massive to gain the trust of the fans if he did. But that wouldnt matter...........

    He wouldn't come here anyway.

    Why would that be a problem to Jacks? Who cares who they played for before as long as they perform for us!!!!!!!! Besides it'll wind up the Diff! And to be quite frank people who would consider ditching Swansea over a player from our rivals is an idiot!

    Yeah I agree, Bothroyd is a class act and would fit in perfectly for us! Shame he will never come ey

    Bothroyd has an attitude problem! He's not the most intelligant and for me, he isn't the type of player Swansea should be looking for.
    Yes he's very talented, but it's a big no no.
    Even Leon said so. He would upset the dressing room

    Boothroyd would destroy the changing room. He's a good player - but we don't need him.

    My biggest issue would be that Bothroyd is a dick. Simple as.

    We do have a bit of a reputation for ironing out problem attidudes though , can't remember how many fans came to our sites & warned us of Dyer being a problem . Seems a great guy & player these days . For me though , there is no room for personality flaws ,it's just football . If we could get Bothroyd for a good price , Buck & the boys would bring him around . We may have to hoof a few balls up field more than were used to next season , Bothroyd would give us that extra way to play if need be .

    Personally Bothroyd is a bit of a diver and moaner not worth the trouble.
    But we have had a class striker from Cardiff a few years ago called Jimmy Gilligan. He was Cardiff legend went to Pompey and ended up with us.
    Then became a Swans favourite. So if they came from Chelsea or Cardiff they will have my 100% support as long as they give 100%.

    Aside from Bothroyd being a dick and spending most games on his backside and crying, I just don't think he'd fit in really.

    I'm sure he could adapt his game, but I can't see the club changing it's style to suit one individual. I sincerely hope the club doesn't decide to "hoof a few more balls up field" for the sake of it. One of the best things about our club is the style of playing and the foundations it's built on.

    Leave the hoof ball to somebody else.

    I think we might be " hoofing a few " out of need & not for the sake of it next season IMO . Point taken though , I'm not a big fan of Bothroyd either , off the pitch , but he special when he's in the mix & trying hard .

    Let's put it this way... There are players out there I.e. Danny Graham but would bring as much to the table in footballing terms, if not more, and would bring less drama and baggage. I'm not a Bothroyd fan though so my judgement may be clouded. I think there may be some tension between a couple of people in the dressing room as well... I.e. Tate if he's about etc.

    Burke was the
    Only Cardiff player I rated. And he's not Cardiff anymore.

    Danny Graham over Bothroyd anyday.
    Top scorer in an average side. He's young and ambitious
    Has an eye for goal. Fox in the box. Plus the spectacular.
    Bothroyd is more a target man for hoofball, moaner and disreputive
    The rumours are he is off too Everton or Celtic
