Brett Holman

[tomd2103]

I think we'd see the best of him as one of the 3 in a 4-2-3-1 formation.   As things stand, he'd be competing for places with Ireland, N'Zogbia, Albrighton, Gabby (who'd also be 2nd choice to Bent up top) and Bannan.

Agree with that John.  Could see El Ahmadi and Makoun or possibly a new signing as the two holding midfielders, with N'Zogbia, Ireland and Holman as the three in front of them.

Id go along with that

Pretty decent final ball from Holman for Australia'a final goal in friendly against Lebanon overnight. From 1:25 here: http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/video/2276624482/Lebanon-v-Australia

I think this guy will grow into one of the most influential players for us this season; just think it's taking a while for him to find the pace of the game.

[supertom]

Yeah I like him. He'll get the pace of the game quick enough. When he's got time on the ball he uses it well. Whenever he's rushed into a pass, or dwells a little too long he's tended to lose it. But that side will get better. It took Petrov a while to adapt to that side of things and then eventually Stan barely wasted a pass.
Holman's workrate is fantastic though and it rubs off on the other players. He may well be able to replace what we've lack since Milner. A non-stop runner, not technically brilliant but still a decent footballer who can pick a pass. He's tended to get a lot of assists for his last club, so it'll be good for us. I just see his attitude and workrate, and probably soon consistency will have him more of a regular than perhaps more spectacular players like Ireland, and certainly he'll play more than CNZ.

[JD]

He's gonna be our unsung hero who we all grow to love like Dessie Bremner.

[N'ZMAV]

There will be a lot of hard work from Brett. I hope the end product matches.

Can't be any worse than Charles Insomnia.

He needs a fucking rocket up his arse.

[curiousorange]

The guy puts a shift in, and fans will always appreciate seeing a player leave the pitch completely exhausted in the line of duty.

[Ads]

He could very well be the reason why we smash Swansea next week.

Heis pressing and harrying is going to be vital.

[darren woolley]

I like the look of him his work rate is really good.

[Boz]

Just hope he returns from Australia's games without injury. The travelling will be knackering though, same Brad back from the States.

[Risso]

I don't think he'll feature much when Lambert's signings are up to speed.  The quality of his final ball has mostly been horrendous.

[Olneythelonely]

No it hasn't. I don't see what people have been watching.
