BOF Posted January 15, 2014 Moderator Share Posted January 15, 2014 OK OK I've got one. My turn.He'll probably usually come on as a sub. Get half an hour here or there. Maybe make the odd start. Not set the world alight but be fairly decent and get a few goals and assists that will earn us some (probably very valuable) points. He'll then go back to his parent club in the summer with no lasting damage to our finances. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 With the unexpected chance of top flight football again under a manager that wants him hopefully Holt will be motivated enough in training to lose the excess weight and actually benefit the team in the run in but i suppose we'll see soon enough?

limvillian 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. Also extremely difficult when certain posters have there heads firmly stuck in the sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 It's not the negativity really. There's just some fans like that. It's just that it pops in almost every thread in this forum. There's not a thread I go to that doesn't have the same few people blasting everyone that isn't in complete agreement with the shittiness of everything. the next gen thread really was the worst example Was that the thread where the acadamy director said the same things I did a day later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed it was pathetic, 7 sentences and not even a personal dig at him being apparently overweight. Rubbish BOF, rubbish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 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. 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. Haha yeah that's strange. Surely you should be happy that villa do well not that you get to mock strangers with a different opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kozak has 4 goals in 14 league games, a good few of which were sub appearances. I call that a few goals. Edit: 4 goals from 8 starts.

DelboyVilla Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) OK he's hear now so I will stop moaning and digging at him. Why didn't we sign him in the summer instead of Kozak then? Holt would have been a lot cheaper, around £5m saving by my guess and we could of spent the that on a creative player? I am sure we could have dug someone up for £5m. Instead we still sit here now looking to spend £1m on Hoolahan? Makes no sense to me? Edited January 15, 2014 by DelboyVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did say he was going to buy experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our second highest scorer behind Benteke and with better goals/shots/shots on target percentages than any of our other players. Did alright IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) We didn't buy Holt in the summer because Lambert wanted a long term target man to continue our attractive style of football. Edited January 15, 2014 by Big_John_10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
