Valhalla Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 On Holt, I would seriously leave him where he is, we would have to pay 6Million upwards to bring him and it would be Harewood all over again. He scored 15 in the prem last season. 21 in the championship the year before. People see a big striker and start throwing silly comparisons around. Marcus Stewart might I add! Once scored 25 goals in in PL first season then disappeared in 2nd season. lol grant holt is a good striker. We currently only have one of those. Shouldn`t turn our noses up at the likes of him at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still gutted and angry mate, it will go but that will take time. As for his replacement, I've no idea....as long as its not Malky, Bruce or Haugton. Will his backroom team join him at VP?

Gompedyret Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Fair play to wiz and our other Norwich-supporting friends for keeping on posting here. I like Norwich, hopefully they will get over this blow quickly to continue doing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oohh, i didn`t know he was 31, thought he was about 27-28. I see where the doubts are coming from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 30+ with only 1 (very good) top flight season, probably quite expensive and with no resale value, i'd skip on Grant Holt. If we're hell bent on signing brittish again i'd rather we gambled on Jordan Rhodes, not that he's anywhere near the top of my list of transfer targets...

Don't forget us Villa fans have had to sit back & watch the likes of Dwight Yorke, James Milner, Gareth Barry move onwards and upwards - just when it looked like we could push on and make a step towards the top.

moose Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Phew, was starting to think I was alone in not wanting Holt! If we're going to be spending ony on players there's only on word that springs to mind - defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to sound patronising here Wiz but welcome to the premier league mate. We've had it for a few seasons now, Barry, Milner, Downing, Young..some expect Bent to be the next. It's the nature of the beast mate. All the best for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieB Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I'll leave it to the manager to decide what we need and I won't moan at every link that isn't in my wishlist. It would be refreshing if others followed that approach at least for a while. The man they call Brian he talk sense. Unfortunately methinks the sense the one they call Brian speaketh will be falling on deaf ears! I cannot beleive you lot are already arguing over the signings a manager who AVFC haven't even appointed as yet...might be making!! Priceless!!! :bonk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Holt would be alright on the cheap. Tbh, I'm not fussed if we do or we don't. I'm just delighted that it looks like Paul Lambert is coming to Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Martinez and OGS spoke to us whilst still in their jobs. They would only dip a toe in the water knowing they had a job to go back to. PL is prepared to burn bridges, such is his ambition. I'd be delighted if he arrived here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Lambert's league win percentage at Norwich was 31.5% last season. Not bad really when you consider they were newly promoted and had a Championship-standard squad. Massive improvement on McTwat's pathetic 18% league win percentage anyway.

I'm just delighted that it looks like Paul Lambert is coming to Villa. Thats the thing I think most people would want him for £3million however Norwich will be demanding at least double that and when you factor in the sour taste we will have left in their mouths we could be talking £8million and upwards.
