Grant Holt - confirmed on loan

[Lamb_Stockmix]

I was just trying to think of lower league strikers who turned out to be top class PL players. I couldn't think of many from recent years. I wasn't gonna use it as a stick to beat Holt with. Christ!

That would need to be one fucking big stick.

I haven't even seen a recent picture of Holt, is he really that big?

He looks like John Gregory would be having a number of words, and Holt would not be taking his shirt off to reveal a Ginola style figure!

Anyhow the one thing in his favour is he has never relied on pace, and does know where the net is in the premier league. 17 was it for Norwich under Lambert less than 2 years ago. There is a player in there, somewhere.

I think there's a couple.

That was original. Did you write it yourself?

Ironically your response was unoriginally cliché.

I think Lambert probably wanted Holt when Wigan signed him but no way would Norwich sell to Villa ,so Hoolahan could be a no  goer

Forget it. I'm drunk. And emotional. And drunk.

Why can't those pillocks get over the fact that we took their non-charismatic manager?

[Rioch is King]

Good luck Grant!. Train hard, help the youngsters find their confidence and give it all you've got. And will those responsible please give it a rest with the embarrassingly crap food/weight jokes. Cheers. UTV

Proof that some people are terminally stupid. Tweeted to Holt by some moron Norwich fan in Sutton Coldfield, of all places:

Its not really big or clever, but I don't think that Grant Holt is the sort of bloke who gets a lot of the fat jokes or stupid abuse like that said to his face a great deal.

Hmm, I wonder if this "Norwich fan" in Sutton Coldfield is someone who would be at The Sty every other Saturday if they weren't "working, Tom, any chance of a Bronx Hat?"

It looks a pretty wide shirt to be honest.

This chap's German is pretty poor.

1 minute into that vid he won me over to be honest. It was him hacking down John Terry and having a little dig at him too.
He's a bit of a beast. I don't see too many defenders being able to shake him off the ball, so we'd better play it into his feet and not chuff it down the channels or 10 yards over his head.

Totally agree Tom, I think he's great already after seeing what he did to Terry.

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.

I do share your view Martyn. I have too have this old fashioned view of football supporters, well you know, err, whisper it, but supporting. Saying that i know we've been patient. We've had to be!!!

I've never understood having a go at our own players though, did we ever wonder why we didn't get the best out of Crouch? Giving it all the "there's only one Rodney Trotter" when he's our player? That was a weird one to explain to my ex-wife at her first match, why you'd have a go at your own player and knock his confidence. I trust there won't be a "who ate...." chant, it may not help?

I know i'm a bit hardcore around my principles and value, things i won't sing etc, but there are lines...

The thread has made me laugh in places, and i shared shock, but in context will live with the gamble, just hope it will be alongside some masterstroke signing where we need it most.

Crouch used to love that song if his reaction to it at Middlesborough away and Anfield (when he played for the Redscouse)  is anything to go by.

KRO.

I know a Norwich fan, a psychiatrist from Sutton Coldfield.  I might see him later this evening and I'll ask him what he thinks about this Wigan player joining us on loan.  That should flush him out.

[damon loves JT]

Flush him out using a 'Deal or no Deal' scenario. Place two show boxes on the table. Tell him that one contains an egg boiled by Delia Smith. The other contains a Norwich City shirt with 'FAT C*** DIE' written on in in shaky handwriting with a crayon.

See which way he runs, then shoot him in the back and claim self-defence

I doubt that.

There was no real strong link to him at the time, like the one to Hoolahan now, and if we wanted him that much why wouldn't he go for a permanent deal now, as opposed to just short term cover for an injury?

What does "unoriginally cliche" mean?
