samjp26 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 He actually isn't "fat", he looks unfit for a typical professional footballer I agree, but fat is a bit farfetched. Funny how this has just turned into personal insults now, if you want to take the piss out of his footballing ability fair enough but personal insults are a bit uncalled for, none of us actually know the guy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelboyVilla Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Well we signed another 30+ striker with an even more dubious skill set from Wigan in the January window some years ago, if only that had been a temporary signing Holt is far better player... So Holt who has spent 2 seasons in the Premier League and scored 23 top flight goals in 70 games is a far better player than Heskey who played 19 seasons in the Premier League scored over 100 goals and played 62 times for England? Well there's about 10 Premier League managers and 4 England managers that disagree with you, never mind countless top players. Ivanoe was shit for us but in terms of quality and achievements Holt isn't fit to clean his boots. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan but realistically to say Holt is a better footballer than Heskey is complete b*llocks just trying to justify an incredibly poor signing made by a desperate man who no longer knows how to spot a decent player!
