Grant Holt - confirmed on loan

[damon loves JT]

From what I remember, Holt has all the agility of a dustbin bag full of broken crockery. I hope he scores a few goals for us and makes me eat my words.

Mr too. I also hope that Guzan can kick the ball far enough up the picth to land within 12 inches of Holt. Otherwise we'll have to rely on his turn of pace and creativity in the box.

He could turn out to be our fox in the box.

We sign Holt.

Hull sign Jelavic and Long.

We aren't even competing with Hull City anymore.

Lerner, Faulkener & Lambert, go now please.

Just think of all those high balls that used to get punted 10 yards over Kozaks head, or those times someone played the ball down the channel for him to run after, despite having no pace. Now picture Holt having to do that...go on...picture it...it's not pretty.

We've seriously wandered into Mike Bassett territory here. Next Lambert will announce his new masterstroke formation, four, four, fucking two.

Grant Holt currently at Villa Park for his medical and to discuss personal terms. #wafc #avfc

Holts torso x-ray will just look like a sack of pies.

I can't stop laughing at the Mike Bassett anology.  Its bang on.

Judging by that photo, he's more likely to be a superstar in the sandwich bar.

I'm struggling to picture the thought process with this one. Either Lambert was sitting in his office one day, wondering why Benteke couldn't score, and had a eureka moment, or he, Culverhouse and Karsa had a crisis meeting and this was the fruit of their labours.

Either way, it's terrifying to think these lot have charge of Aston Villa.

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

If you want to know how low we've sunk, just look at the people trying to justify signing Grant fucking Holt.

Or our pantechnicon in the penalty area!

[Dave Clark Five]

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.

I will happily be in that minority.
The one group that I won't be in is the lot that want to give Lambert yet another window after this to complete his master plan.

[Chris Jameson]

I hope he scores a few goals for us and makes me eat my words.

You'll have to fight Grant for them judging by the size of him.
