I can remember a Wigan fan telling me about how great Charles N'Zogbia was...

In fairness, he was, for them

Sign a winger who can cross a ball and maybe he and Benteke will score a few.

Of course, but it doesn't necessarily mean that Holt is going to be as shit for us as he's been for them. It's also why I'm not really too fussed about the opinions of Wigan fans, even the ten who are laughing on Twitter.

I think 28k a week for GH is alot

It's only 4 kilos a day. And that works out at about 4 pies every sitting. That's not much for a man with his kind of appetite.

How incredibly funny and original. Nobody's said anything like that before.

I really think the constant jibes about weight are getting a bit tedious, if not downright insulting; call me old-fashioned but do you really think players don't have a crafty look at fans forums. He wouldn't be very impressed with many of the comments on this one, and that's before he's even played a game for us.

As has been said, a bollocking here and there when needed, a goal or two that gets us some points - job's a good 'un.

Was Holt really the only player available? I don't get it. If Lambert wanted cover, why sign a 32 year old striker who can't get into a mid-table Championship team?

Yeah, one of the best out and out centre forwards to play the game. The tranny loving chunk.

....because he knows his game and knows what he can get out of him? Trusts him? loves him? wants to have babbies with him?

Christ, it's getting way, way to monotonous now.
Give it up..welcome the bloke and wish him well. you never know he may surprise you?
