Brett Holman was outstanding tonight.

Great finish on the volley, too bad no one can steer a decent ball into the box.

I watched Alkmaar against a very impressive Valencia on ESPN last night. Holman is industrious, has good technique and an eye for a pass, and his goal (a cushioned volley) was clinically taken. He's no winger though, despite what we've read. He's a link man playing in the space between midfield and the centre forward. He looks a very astute signing.

excellent  ,  until he plays for us and gets the McLeish syndrome

Didnt Bestie score one like that. My memory is starting to fade but I think it was against Northampton....or another team!!

[dcdavecollett]

I think the goal you are thinking of was against Spurs at Mould Trafford, a few short weeks after we stuffed ManUre in the League Cup.

I actually thought Hollman's goal was better, as he is, of course, a better player than George(cough).

Holman was sent off today. Two Yellows.

Doesn't bother me, he'll stroll into our starting eleven.

Just wondering if anyone knows; firstly would the Holman deal get canned if we went down or alternatively if mcleish got the sack? I know the club won't release details of this nature but it is the norm for contracts of this manner to get cancelled?

[Rip Van We Go Again]

He's a flair player, another good reason to fuck McLeish off as he'll put the shackles on him.

[SoccerHQ]

Welcome Brett.

[villadelph]

Welcome Brett.

I bet he's ecstatic.

Are the YouTube "highlights" of Holman a fair reflection of how good/bad he is? Theres a lot of negative comments about him and the highlights tend to show that he's a bit of a flop in front of goal. What can we expect from him as a player and how does he compare to other players in the Premier League?

He's no goal poacher. He's a similar design to Dirk Kuyt. Works his arse off and never let's up. Could be hugely beneficial to us.
