I remember when we were in for Harewood, knowing no good would come of it. I have the same feeling with Holt. Didn't want him when we were linked last time, want him less now. He's always been shit and no 'relationship' with Lambert will change my mind.

But he's coming. Make no mistake, the fat bastard is on his way.

Holt? I thought it was a wind up on the match thread. Strange one this.

I can just about accept taking him on loan until the end of the season with Kozak out. Any longer and I'll tear out what little hair I have left.

He can't get into Wigan's side.

I'd be surprised if he could get into an XXL shirt.

Really at this point in time I am going to bed as this scenario unfolding cannot be real and when I get up in the morning it will all have been a bad nightmare!

He's looking lean and in shape.

Maybe Lambert feels he's lost a few of the players and wants to bring some old trusted friends in with both Holt and Hoolahan.  Hardly inspirational signings otherwise are they?

According to the post-match thread, Lambert raised an eyebrow when asked about him and said 'we'll see'. He's either enjoying a piss-take far too much or he's spent all of today tailing a 32 year old sausage roll dressed in a Wigan shirt.

Holt is just laughably bad. A) he's absolute shite and B) he sums up Lambert's entire football strategy, unimaginitive and practically immobile
