Stevo985 Posted January 7, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 7, 2014 I can confirm that we are 100% interested. However, it's not finalised so there's a chance it won't happen. #iamrighteitherway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Think that was the same twitter account that said Lambert had parted company with Villa after the Millwall (I think) game last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mansonAVFC Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 People need to get a grip, I see loads banging on about a number 10, then we sign one! Before he has even played I think the common feeling towards him is that he is shit! Newsflash that's our level of player now! Are some people actually expecting a Mata-esq quality of player to sign then if so; a few people need to be getting some medication. How's about throwing a little support his way, or do we want to mentally break this player also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Holtby is any more realistic? the only thing that makes holtby unlikely IMO is the fact that he's German, hard to know how much he likes life here (or London) and if he would drop to mid table, but i can imagine a fair few mid table if not higher German clubs would happily sign him too, for me our chances of signing him would all depend on how much he wants to leave and who else wants him if the answer is he's desperate to go and no one else wants him then why cant we get him?

Wages 2. A club that has been battling relegation consistently in recent years (with no sign of positivity to steer away from that level which we currently occupy, anytime in the near future) what an attractive proposition; a club in malaise who's general wage structure match that of a team in the championship with no long term plan of ambition.

But reality dictates these players don't want to join a club like ours unless we are used for a stepping in which case he can rot on Tottenham's bench! Back on topic though, if Hoolahan has that little bit about him creatively and wants to come here and play for the team, I would rather have him! Norwich fans seem to rate him highly and has Prem experience plus playing experience on top of that. He is what we need and can get, within the constraints this club has to work with.

DelboyVilla Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Championship quality player no more! At least he will fit in with the rest of the squad? Says it all that he is nearly 32 and only played in Premier League for the 2 seasons with Norwich who he helped get promoted. We deserve better quality than this! Would you take Lallana then? Apart from age, he's just as bad according to your logic. Where have I said that? Lallana is in his 2nd full season of top flight football at 25 years old. At 25 Hoolahan had never played in the top flight. Lallana has also proved himself to be a consistent performer, Hoolahan can't get into a struggling Norwich team. We may as well just recall Ireland back from Stoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he wasnt discovered until last few years didnt mean he didnt have the talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
