Grant Holt - confirmed on loan

[sirlordbaltimore]

Beggars belief.

He doesn't score much, he's overweight (in fact he's starting to sound like me), a championship side have decided they can do without him, he's a one trick pony and his so called experience boils down to about a season and a half in the Premiership. Plus he can't be on minuscule wages either.

I know some people like to try and put some kind of positive spin on anything Villa related, but i can't help but think they're in denial. Why not just get Heskey back if we want a lump that doesn't score ?

Does anyone think with him coming in that Lambert has any intention of fixing our creativity or wide problems ?, or will we just be looking forward to yet more aimless hoofs into the box ?. I think we all know the answer.

The last act of a desperate man. Getting in some of his old yes men.

What does that cliché even mean in this context?

[Ron Manager]

It gets worse!  We have lost out on Marlon. He's just gone to Hartlepool!

I cant take much more.

Why DID we sign Bowery? And can't he be sold in this window, if he is not good enough after 18 months? Helenius is heading the same way as things stand. Known as 'Salifouing'.

[Chico Hamilton III]

He's just a fat Cascarino

[Dr Butler]

as everyone else is sticking it to Grant and he has not even pulled the Villa shirt on yet.....I'm going with the.... he will be great stance !

not sure about the standard of opposition but he is a selection off that there youtube.

Come on Holty !!  anyone else with me ?....anyone ??

On the bright side, he's so fat and immobile, he's going to be easier to hit with our hopeless punts in his general direction.

Here's hoping he brings some of that experience and hunger that has seen him bag 2 goals in 20 games and help propel Wigan to 10th in the Championship.

Poor Nicklas Helenius is my immediate thought.

Poor Nicklas Helenius is my immediate thought.

Indeed. First he gets his pants pulled down, then he gets shafted.

[Ron Manager]

No.  I think Lambert should go for Adeybayo Akinfenwa of Gillingham. 5'10" 16 stone. Saw him against Wolves a couple of weeks ago a quite remarkable sight in full flow . Makes Grant Holt look like Twiggy. So wide you could wedge him between the posts and the opposition would have no chance whatsoever of scoring.

Guzan could play in midfield!

I should be manager and I would have Villa Kicks as my highly respected assistant.

Ads could do the PR.

If he signs and plays, I will leave him to show me if he is worthy of playing for us.

You'll be in a minority there DC5.

[Olneythelonely]

Banging goals in in the Danish League, must be more impressive than not scoring goals in the Championship?

Poor Nicklas Helenius indeed.

Ah, the HarewoodHeskey defence.

Whilst getting fat.

I would imagine Paul Lambert knows more about Helenius that most of us to be honest, seeing as he identified him, signed him and sees him every day in training. He clearly doesn't think he is ready yet.

Perhaps he has not helped himself with his attitude.
