Grant Holt - confirmed on loan

[JUAN PABLO]

It annoyed me last night ,we score a great goal from the flank and look good for 15 minutes using the wide positions etc and then the last 7 minutes we went back to hoof .

So Holt will fit right in.

Holt's been spotted just before his medical.

Totally agree, it was so frustrating to watch. Use the flanks, get Lowton forward and put crosses in and we look half-decent. So why did they revert to Hoofball??? Baffling.

Honestly, Google says he is 79kg, which is 12.5 stone and for a bloke of his height, puts his BMI as bang in the middle of the range.

He's always looked a bit of a unit to me, so I guess he must be a gym monkey. "What you benching brah?"

[mr underhill]

oh well, at least he's a real man according to Lambert. That must explain it.

Shall we just lay off for one day? Holt is clearly a short term stop gap to cover injuries if necessary not the great white hope.

I question when that weight was taken. Also BMI is a flawed measure, Jonny Wilkinson for example is overweight on that metric.

Maybe a couple of years back he was 12.5stone. He definitely looks bigger now. I wonder come his 5th game here whether we'll have a defiant Ginola style removal of the shirt?

Well I for one am fed up with all these lean, muscular players we sign and welcome a normal looking player as a role-model for the "larger fan". It could be our Susan Boyle moment.

You're right, I think Villa should be commended for being socially responsible and sending out the message that kids don't have to eat well and exercise if they want to grow-up to be professional athletes. I'm sick of seeing kids pretending to be Ronaldo and Messi, it's just not healthy.

Of course its flawed, as it doesn't take into account muscle mass. But if you're a person who exercises everyday and has more muscle than your avergae Joe, then it proves he probably isn't the least bit fat at all.

First TSM and now this!

What next?

[claretandblue barmy]

Once again Aston Villa pave the way.  Firstly we have a former player who has come out and admitted to being Gay , and now we're finally buying players who represent the real men on the terrace  !    Come on you Fatties !!!

Don't believe this anyway not until he is STSOTP.

Dion Dublin was a real man not Grant Holt
