MessiWillSignForVilla Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Yes, there are a few posters who are determined to suck any hint of joy out of spending time in the main forum. Off topic is the place to hang out during transfer windows. Why stop at just the transfer windows? Off topic is fun all year round! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Each day I get out of bed determined to be optimistic about all things AVFC …. Randy Lerner seems equally determined to try my patience and dent my optimism. Cut me some slack Randy, bring a smile to my face once in a while! It's not too much to ask is it?

danceoftheshamen Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I was thinking the other day that this whole Holt episode was reminding me of something way back in the cobwebbed section of what remains of my brain.. I've mulled over it a while and thought..... Hmm Ageing player...... Bulky Centre Forward............ Journeyman.......................Slow............ Sluggish........... Moaning fanbase........................She's got nice t***...oops back on topic........ What'd we buy him for murmurings.......Past it..........Etc .....Etc... Then i thought ...I remember the last time we had all this His name was Peter Withe! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millbrook85 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Adding to that, while this doesn't exactly set any pulses racing, at least Holt has been successful playing for Lambert (even in the Premier League) in the past. If he can rediscover that form in a comfortable situation, he'll end up being useful. In fact, I'd offer up this signing as a metaphor for our current season (though in a different way than many would, I accept): not exciting, but ultimately decent. I'd have taken a boring, mid-table finish at the beginning of this season, and while saying that in foresight is different from enjoying it in its materialization, that appears to me to be just what we're getting.

danceoftheshamen Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I think he was around 30 or just about to hit it if i remember correclty ... But still similar in many ways.... Don't get me wrong i am in no way saying Holt is another Peter Withe, He's only a short term loan for starters but now he's here you never know he may just add an ingredient we've been lacking maybe.

lexicon Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Please let him finish top scorer, please. The backtracking/revisionism would be more delicious than the ambrosia of the gods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchard Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Please let him finish top scorer, please. The backtracking/revisionism would be more delicious than the ambrosia of the gods. I would like him to be top scorer as it would mean that he'd have been a success. And that will be good for Aston Villa. The fact that you state you'd like this to happen for other reasons. Well that's not much of a surprise. Edited January 15, 2014 by Pilchard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJT123 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Can't we all just... get along? It's extremely hard to when certain posters are continuously negative. Yes, Holt doesn't look like the most inspiring signing ever, but why cant people allow him to play a few games for the club before getting on his back.

Morpheus Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 It will be no surprise to me that when Holt does play, finds himself in the right position at the right time and scores a tap in which even the ordinary layman on the street might score, his signing will be vindicated and deemed a master stroke by Lambert. "Finds himself in the right position at the right time" being a terrible trait for a goalscorer. Why do you even bother supporting Villa, by the way? Probably the same reason you do.

PandaMac Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 So how many goals do we all think he'll get then? I'm going with 4 and a couple of assists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 He'll probably do a Heskey/Zat Knight, and get one on his debut, which will fool people into thinking it's a great piece of business, before being utterly shite for the rest of the season.

Stevo985 Posted January 15, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 15, 2014 He'll probably do a Robbie Keane, and be average on his debut, which will fool people into thinking it's a terrible piece of business, before being perfectly decent for the rest of the season. Blind speculation is fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwan Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 He'll probably do a Habib Beye. Play in a couple games. Get a red card and then never see him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
