QPR snapped Bothroyd up on a free transfer last month following his decision to run down his contract at Cardiff. Warnock is convinced Bothroyd will prove to be a shrewd acquisition and believes he can add to the solitary England cap he picked up last season. He said: "I look at strikers in the Premier League and people mention Andy Carroll to me and however many millions he cost. "Andy Carroll is good in the air, but you cannot tell me he has more about him than Jay Bothroyd when he is on song. "I think Jay has got everything to fight for his England place and it is really up to him." QPR's only other signings this summer have been Danny Gabbidon and Kieron Dyer, also on free transfers, and Warnock does not expect to be handed a big transfer kitty any time soon. He added: "If we don't spend any money, which it does not look like we are going to, staying up would be a massive achievement."
