Bazdavies79 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Might not be a bad thing if it were cancelled if possible, he looks crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 What? From what I've seen of him, he looks pretty good. Certainly good enough for us to take on as a Bosman deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kammy Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Might not be a bad thing if it were cancelled if possible, he looks crap. That's a bit harsh. I actually had a funny feeling he'd do well for us and would like to see him here. Maybe he is crap but i'd like him to have a chance to prove himself.

AVFCforever1991 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Give the guy a chance at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodigan Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 he's been one of the leading players for the socceroos for the last couple of years. i think he's exactly what this team needs - a no nonsense aussie winger - seasoned and a bit less of a nancy boy than many we have currently in our squad - certainly not one that's gonna get onto the pitch and sulk... the diggers in the premier league in recent times have all been positive contributors to their squads - emerton, cahill, kewell, schwarzer, herd... i think holman will be great for us...

smetrov Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I thought this was off or at least postponed ? When I first heard this deal was in doubt - thats when I began to hope AM was a a goner.....and so it proved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCAM Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 According to a lot of papers, Australian sports pages too, Holman is "anxiously waiting to find out who his new manager will be at Villa" Nothing to say he has walked away from the deal/the deal has been cancelled.

He agreed to come to the club when ALEX MCLEISH was manager! Who the hell can come in that would be so much worse it would put him off the deal?

Super-Villan Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 A few people speculated the deal might be off, but I certainly never saw any real proof of that. There have been plenty of instances where managers have signed players then left before even working with them and I've never heard of a transfer stopped because of it. At worst I'd imagine the new manager would loan him out or sell him, but I expect he'll be around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadoftrinity Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 If he has any faith in his own ability then he would fancy his chances to get into the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanO Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Only a guess but I would have thought he signed for Villa and not Mcleish. I'm not sure about this signing but after living in Oz for 9yrs what I can say is that no Aussie I know wouldn't give his all, if he has the ability then he will succeed so if the new manager likes what he sees then we should give him our support. Somehow we (the fans) need to now come together and stop this bad feeling that the last 2 seasons have caused, Mcleish and Heskey are gone that should be enough for us to celebrate and get back to the happier times of being a Villan.

Bazdavies79 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 There is no way he will walk away from this lol. The new manager might have the right to cancel the deal if he sees fit. I'd be inclined to cancel the deal, based purely on ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I'm not sure about this signing but after living in Oz for 9yrs what I can say is that no Aussie I know wouldn't give his all never watch Harry Kewell at Liverpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Look he's a signing, it's a Bosman on possibly cheap wages with bags of experience, give him a chance though i think he'll be a shit version of Bret Emerton who was shit by the way.

chappy Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 There's an article on the OS about "two Villa boys in the Australia squad", Herd and Holman. The deal is not off. OS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he (Holman) has played many times for Australia but honestly I can't recall him which is why I have my doubts but he has played CL which is more than any of the rest of our weak squad has. Maybe for once we have found a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
