Grant Holt - confirmed on loan

[Grande Pablo]

Chris Sutton worked didn't it...?

[PaulWinch again]

Chris Sutton was a good player, Grant Holt isn't and wasn't.

[Matt Collins]

A pretty depressing signing, but as a cheap cover option it's not the end of the world,  if it frees up funding to get some creativity in

[Mazrim]

Please tell me you're joking? Grant Holt?

Just fuck off with yourself Lambert.

[bertlambshank]

Good news is the Bodymoor canteen will be on overtime.

[ozzjim]

Lambert's last memory of Holt will have been 17 premier league goals.

Since then he seems to have eaten 14 small farmers, most of Wigan pier and taken up "walking" on the pitch.

But then, scores the winner against Albion who gives a shit?

Not in favour, but can see why a manager who needs some fight and passion in the dressing room would turn to his former captain and his former talisman in Holt and Hoolahan.

Could Holt do any worse than Benteke at the minute? I doubt it

Have a word with yourself

edit: You did! Sorry

Loan deal as cover for Kozak...I can live with that, so long as we get a defender and midfielder or two...seems sensible

Grant holt pulling on our famous colours I cannot. Why not just give Helenius a go if needed. Grant fucking holt. Oyvind Leonhardson was less depressing, throw in Giles de bilde too

[Mazrim]

There's nothing sensible about this. The club needs a lift. Even promoting one of the kids would be better. This stinks of desperation and a lack of ambition and intention to do anything but stagnate or regress.
What a laughing stock we are.

[pauliewalnuts]

I don't get it. Why? Why the fuck do we need Grant Holt?

I agree, and don't want the lump anywhere near the club... but....

Comes now, and scores, say 4 league goals between now and the end of the season. Gets us say 4-5 points. Where is the harm?

Benteke will start, he will be a sub most weeks and an option to throw on, there are worse options. Bowery being one of them!

[Nii Lamptey]

Lescott next please.

[manic-road]

If the rumours are true about Grant Holt I suppose he will be paid in pies.

[dekko]

I have no problem with Holt coming in as short term cover for Kozak.  At the very least he'll dish out bollockings when needed, which is something we need a bit of.
