In my humble, for a club of our current stature. We shouldn't be desperate enough to go down the path of a slightly improved version of Bothroyd.

30-40k a week, for a player of his calibre? No wonder he's been loaned out everywhere as they try to get him off the wage bill!!

I'll bet if you can pull up a list of players whom are on the same wages, he'd be in the bottom half in terms of production for price.

I'd rather stick with Nuhiu up front than make such a ridiculous signing.

It'd cost 1.2 Million to loan him for 8 months. So if he were to get that 15 goals ( Which he wouldn't), that'd be almost 100k per goal we'd be paying for.

Firstly, he is nothing like Bothroyd. Bothroyd was talented but had a massive ego that seemed to stop him trying. Graham is an artisan but has scored goals at this level. If you look at the cost, he is only worth signing if he lifts us into the Playoffs from outside the top six or into automatic promotion from the Playoffs. Otherwise, we are wasting our money.

He would be an improvement on Nuhiu but for the extra 7-10 goals, is he worth it? Again, only if he lifts us to a position to get promoted. I also accept that he might not meet the standards that the Club expects. It then begs the question, if we are prepared to pay that amount for Graham, why not pay a little bit more & get Hooper or someone of that standard.
