Grant Holt - confirmed on loan

[aj2k77]

Can't we have the nakhi wells rumours again instead.

[Mazrim]

Horrified as I am with the prospect of this lump bungling his way into the club, I certainly hope he isn't preferred over Helenius.

[Bully2345]

I think it suggests Helenius isn't up to being the 4th striker, which is what worries me most.

That ship has sailed, the bright lights of Huddesfield proved hard to resist.

damn  does this mean Bowery isnt going to make it

Lambert out

Bowery in as manager

I know we've been struggling to offload Given Hutton Bent and Ireland.

I'm thinking we're going to give them one more chance to leave of their own free will,
before offering them to Grant Holt as human sacrifices.

Maybe Lambert needs a bit more faith in him. He came on and scored the other day, surely it gave him a confidence boost and will have him champing at the bit to get on the pitch??
Mind you this is Lambert we're talking about. Second guessing this man is very difficult. Just when you think he's peaked in dropping a bollock, he pulls Holt out the bag.

I would sooner see JB playing up front for us than Holt. At least he'll be able to run a bit. If I had to choose between starting Holt up front on his own for 10 games, or JB on his own for 30 games, I'd still choose JB.

[PeterWithesShin]

Yes, obese, lease, cheese and please don't sound similar at all.

But it's O.K, I don't like you either PWS.

All four are meant to rhyme. and that's ok, i'm choosy who I allow to like me.

[Legion]

I'd prefer Helenius over both.

[Fergal]

No ambition left and no idea of how to run a football club.  We are truly fucked...

[Toronto Villa]

If Holt is the only signing we're fucked. If he's coming in short term, off the bench, odd game here or there, cover whatever then for a nominal fee/loan I don't see an issue. My problem will be, fitness aside, his ability and desire. He has shown he can find the net in the PL with good service and Hoolahan will also know him well should we also secure that deal. I can see that Lambert wants some older heads/leaders in the dressing room and he knows Holt well.

For me this is low risk. I just don't see the panic unless somewhere the manger has said he'd the only signing we'll make this January.

even at 28K a week

Deal agreed medical tomorrow,does a medical involve getting on the scales?

[Toronto Villa]

Daily Mail reporting it as a loan. I really don't see any problem in this. I just hope that he finds a spark moving back to the PL and playing for Lambert, as opposed to playing in front of 7 supporters in Wigan.
