    It will take at least £4m.

    Think I'd prefer Bothroyd if we are going for one of the Championship big guns. But I'd also hope that they would be partnered with someone with Premiership experience and quality.

    Not a great fan of Bothroyd I must admit, would definitely prefer Graham.

    There will be no partnering with someone unless there is a change of formation, don't see that happening.

    i think the money we have put aside for graham is alot more than our bid.

    3.5 million is what we would expect to get him for.
    always bid lower to start with....

    Agreed 3.5 mill just may be enough for Watford

    they would want 5 mill to take Clarke & Dave, i still think Hulse might do a job

    What as a window cleaner?

    NW will be back in for Graham. This was just an opening pitch but all the signs are there:
    Top goalscorer in the division we are leaving
    Already locally based so easy move
    The bid was actually made public indicating it is not just speculative.

    3.5-4 million is a lot of money for a someone who's never played in the Premier league.

    Just playing devil's advocate!

    Perhaps we could claim he cost £3.5 million and actually give them £600k. :emoticon-0110-tongu

    I think offering 2 mill plus those 3 strikers might work

    I think that Graham is a better player that Bothroyd and that Neil will go back in for him at around £3.5 Millon, or a lower bid with a player exchange,

    Just thinking, ideally Warnock's probably got 2 months max to get new players in. Otherwise the upheaval could mess with pre-season. So if he really wants Graham as his first signing, he'd better crack on.

    I doubt if Watford would take any of our strikers other than HH. Hopefully HH might just be the one that swings it our way!

    Anything over 2.5mil is a gamble, scoring in the premiership is so much harder
