Brett Holman

[Risso]

Fashanu is the one player of all those I can remember us signing that made me do that throwing-the-hands-up thing more than any other.

I remember reading about it on Teletext and just thinking 'Hmmm, Central TV, Gladiators....'

[peter w]

I remember somebody on here responding to my criticism of Heskey with
'Successive England Managers rate him and I think they know a bit more about football than you.'

Peter W said that a couple of pages back!

No I didn't.

[ozzjim]

Can we leave Heskey and Harewood alone now? They were fecking useless bastards paid too much and stayed too long, the last thing I want to read about is them!


I cannot believe Holman is being written off after 3 games, in which the 3rd there was a good argument to make him man of the match as he epitomised everything good about the performance.

[DrGonzo]

Considering all the work he put in against Newcastle there was a stat I read somewhere the other day about interceptions etc, apparently Clarke topped the list with 10 interceptions (and 7 clearances) and even wee Barry Bannan scragged 4 interceptions.

[N'ZMAV]

Are people seriously writing him off? N'Zogbia is the one who needs writing off.

[pauliewalnuts]

Are people seriously writing him off?

No.

[Tom_Mc9?]

No doubt some of the doom and gloom merchants will write him off. I like him though.

Man of the Match?  He was easily our worst performer in that game.

Nonsense.

Holman was very good, his on-the-ball was maybe lacking due not yet being accustomed on PL but his harrashing, bullying and running to limit space and time for Newcastle players was top-notch. Without Holman in the pitch Newcastle would've had quite a bit more time and space to keep and pass the ball.

he reminded me of my mate's dog chasing a ball around a park, plenty of energy, but never had the ball under control.

if anything, he epitomises how far we've fallen in such a short period.

Oh stop whining.

[placeforparks]

i enjoy it!

[Clampy]

The game passed him by down at West Ham but he was great against Newcastle.

[not3bad]

Get the feeling that he'll need half a season to settle in but once he does he'll be a big plus for us.

[Chris Jameson]

Hardwood was up there with John fashanu and Steve stone as signings that made you just throw your hands up in the air and think "what the fuck"?!

Fashanu is the one player of all those I can remember us signing that made me do that throwing-the-hands-up thing more than any other.

I was really undecided about whether to renew my season ticket, the day I was going to Villa Park with my mate to renew it was announced we had signed him. I didn't bother.
