It's peculiar he thinks he needs back up, when you look at how many strikers we have, three of whom were bought by Lambert himself.

Helenius did well against Sheffield United, and I know there's an obvious point that they're a League One side, but given the fact they actually beat us, maybe we shouldn't read too much into that.

The shows the desperation of Lambert for a player who can't cut it at Wigan, with 2 goals in 20+ games. His scoring record is right up there with our other strikers, one every blue moon.

Should be interesting seeing Benteke and Holt getting in each others way in the 6 yard box.

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

Well, look at the positives. If he does sign and is as shit as we think, at least you'll have someone else to add to your random username.

Yep and we've got good youngsters coming through. The only thing you can summize is that he wants a hoofing target, which would leave us just JB as backup. Helenius despite being 6ft5 is not known for his aerial prowess.

I really hope Lambert wouldn't have the gaul to start arguing again against our long ball tag. It's sadly as clear as day that we are.

I started going to VP in 1966, and I am struggling to remember a fucking fatter fucker in the shirt. Mike Ferguson was portly and Dunne at the start one season had certainly gained girth.

If new model Weimann and this Holt fellow lumber up the pitch too close together there may well be an earth tremor.

He has. The XXL was a bit snug so we're getting him a custom made shirt. Luckily the kit mans Mrs is a seamstress.

That's fine, until he starts expanding even further.

Holt!  Who grows there, et.c.

I think only those of 12.5 stone or less should be commenting on Holt's weight.
