    Grant Holt

    I actually find it hilarious that there are a group of people on here who actually really beleive they know

    better than the Manager about who else he might be signing (the 'not a priority' people);

    better than our fitness staff (he is fat etc etc - (in fact some of the most needlessly insulting comments about a prospective Villa player I have ever heard);

    and they know how unimportant and embarrassing it is that PL thinks Holts maturity may matter - despite PL having actually worked with the player and, unlesss I am mistaken, none of the derisory bunch having done so.

    And they all know we 'have enough strikers'.

    They really think they really do 'know' so much about football that they appear to 'know' our Manager is an idiot.

    Yet those self same people appear to be totally unaware how silly they sound.

    No, Holt is not a top draw player. Yes, it does - or might - give an indication as to where we are with wages etc.

    But he may well be able to play a worthwhile role - perhaps the Manager isn't an idiot ?

    I see your point but if the links to Hoolahan, Naughton and now Holt are all true (i.e. all ex-players of his) then it suggests the manager is running out of ideas.

    Or that he wants a certain sort of player for a certain sort of reason within a certain sort of budget and who are available ? And thus knows what he is doing but it doesn't suit the agenda of some of footballs more rabid vultures who prefer things like 'he has lost the plot' or 'doesn't know what he is doing'.

    The same ones used to do my head in when MON was here calling for Luke Moore and Nathan Delfunso who have gone on to prove why the guy who 'didn't know what he was doing' didn't play them.

    All so clever in front of a typewriter, all so knowledgable about what player might be needed - not for me thanks.

    If the budget is so tight that PL is forced down this route then fair enough, but I guess we'll never really know.

    All said and done thought it's hard to defend this one.

    Grant Holt played for us for four seasons and was our top scorer in every one of those seasons and player of the season three out of four seasons.

    He was the top scorer and player of the season in a Norwich team which finished 12th in the league.

    Last season he was top scorer in a Norwich team which finished 11th in the league.

    And suddenly Lambert is a joke for signing him and Holt is useless after a few months of leaving?

    Unfortunately the joke is probably on us for replacing him with Johan Elmander (17 appearances, 0 goals) and spending £8.5m on Van Wolfswinkel (12 appearances, 1 goal).

    Did you not see the other 50 views from the Norwich fans claiming Lambert had lost the plot?

    Yes and I agree with them :)
