Grant Holt - confirmed on loan

[Chipsticks]

On loan simply as cover for Kozak is fine in my opinion, just seeing us through to the end of the season. Clearly Lambert doesn't think Helenius is quite ready yet and outside of his one goal against a League one side I suppose I can't blame him.

If these are the last days of Lerner, gifting us Grant Holt for the rest of the season is the football club equivalent of locking all the windows and sliding a kipper down the back of a hard-to-reach radiator.

You don't leave a steaming turd in the bathtub either though.

And signing someone who can't get into the Wigan team, as he's so unfit, is better how exactly?

Even as a short term deal, I just can't see the point. At least Bowery can run.

I never thought I'd see Villa reduced to buying a Shrewsbury Town reject, well not since Pountney and Broadbent anyway.

It makes you seriously question his scouting arrangements, first we play five men to mark Arsenals lone striker, not particularly effectively either, and then think an out of sorts non playing first division striker is the answer to our problems.

What the fuck happened to these extensive dossiers he used to rely on?

I wonder what signal it sends Nicklas Helenius, too.

Hardly gets a chance, scores in his last appearance, then learns we've signed someone who plays in his position, and looks like he'd be more at home in a pub darts team than a Premier League football club.

Definitely not a fat one.

I'm sorry but I have absolutely no problem with this move whatsoever.

Grant Holt, you're morbidly obese.
A jobbing oaf who likes his cheese.
And we do not want, not even on a lease.
So don't drive down on the M6 please.

Isn't it meant to rhyme?

Go on...

Well it doesn't rhyme.

It does.

[Des Little]

No. No. NO. NONO. NoNoNoNoNo. No. No. No. Please no.

Is that a no?

He's looking lean and in shape.

He's just indicating the size of the bacon and egg baguette he wants for his breakfast.

Applauds. Thank you for making me smile.
