Grant Holt - confirmed on loan

[Toronto Villa]

I don't care either way about Holt. As long as it is on 18-24 month contract at the every most. When we could be arsed under Lambert he looked quite effective. the question is can he still be arsed?

This isnt true. It cannot be true.

I can't accept Grant Holt. Just can't. How fucking far have we fallen! Think this shows Lambert up. Rather sign this fat shit than give experience to one of his own signings!
And to think, people were questioning on whether Lambert could spot a player and be trusted with money.,............,,,.... Wake me up when this nightmare is over

[ROBBO]

Get a grip it's not a permanent deal just cover for Bentekr thats all.

[manic-road]

Lambert has just said that he has a few things going on with players, fingers crossed with some quality coming in.

[bertlambshank]

He's coming hide the biscuits.

I would have an obese Grant Holt as a loan cover everyday of the week over paying someone actual money for Emile Heskey.

Lambi said holt is a proper man!
But also as Gnev pointed out he will be another striker who doesnt run the channels and give clark or others an option !! this is sooo frustrating lambert wants to play this way !!

18-24 months?

He's 33 in April. You must be joking.

On the verge of December so I thought I'd kick it off. Benteke leaving for peanuts aside, there's some rumours out there of players coming in.

Dembele - a player I rate very highly.

Dembele wants out

Zaha - hasn't had much of a chance at Man U but was very highly rated at Palace. Link from a few days back

Zaha loan

Some defender bloke from Torino. Know nothing about him

D'Ambrosio

The old links never die

Dempsey and Vossen again

Get a grip ffs! I take it you don't remember Warren Aspinall, Simon Stainrod and Gary Penrice?

[silhillvilla]

Grant Fucking Holt, is this a wind up

[manic-road]

This is another example of Lerner not investing decent money into the playing staff.

[VillaAlways]

This isnt true. It cannot be true.

I thought people were taking the piss on the match thread but after listening to Lambert I think its true.
