Summer Transfer Thread: Speculation, Lies, Absolute Cr*p and Bosman Rumours

[Steve67]

I suppose there's a Holte connection with Holt isn't there? Anyway, last i heard on R5 Norwich had flatly rejected said request. I wonder who's tapping him up!

Probably some bloke with a twitchy face, cockney accent, bit of a wanker, perhaps, even, crooked?

Ahh, and admits to being virtually illiterate? I gotcha!

I like Holt a lot, 16 goals is not bad going for his first season up in the Prem. I did'nt realise he was 31 though.

Probably could get 22 year old Jordan Rhodes for a lot cheaper than Holt.  Read a report saying Fulham are lining up a £3.5m bid for Rhodes this summer, whereas I think Holt would probably be £5m + after the season he has had.

Rhodes is a gamble I wish we'd take. And Butterfield from Barnsley.

Agree on Rhodes.
My lads been going on about him all season.

Holt, like Heskey but can score...

Score, trap a ball, stay on his feet, pass to a teammate, find good positions....a kind of Unheskey.

Rhodes is an interesting one. It would be a gamble that could either work well or he could be the next Beckford.

He is the Anti-Heskey.

Been banging on about Rhodes for a couple of years now. Worth a punt.

I was just providing a short hand of why we would be better off with Holt, thanks for fleshing it out for me. =D

I would also like to sign Rhodes, there is far more of a future in him, but do we need another inexperienced striker?  I'd argue that a bit of strength and knowledge is what we lack at this time, we have nobody to hang the ball on, and no one to prod buttock, so there is a good case for a player of Holt's talents.

[Chris Jameson]

I reckon MON's Sunderland are after Holt. They will team him up with Heskey.

[Summers]

Phillips and Ince both look good at Blackpool. Phillips is perhaps the better player.

Liked the look of both today. They both looked good against Blues as well. Perhaps worth a punt on one of them.

Was Beckford that bad 10 in 38 games for everton

[D.boy]

Everton clearly thought so.
