Going by them stats he looks like a regular scorer, I would take a punt on him rather than an unproven at Prem level young hot shot or a glass player like Saha or Owen.
Can we stop comparing Holt to Ashton, Holt is not fit to lace Ashton's boots let alone be compared to him! Ashton had a grace and finesse that Holt could only dream of, Holt in my view is a battering ram! Don't get me wrong he's a very good one but he's no Dean Ashton.
If you want to compare a player to Ashton have a look at the young Madrid striker Joselu who we've been linked with, the guy is 6'2 with great ability and a similar swagger to Mr Ashton.
Ashton had fantastic grace that not many big strikers graced.
i mentioned about dos santos the other day and got coated off he has two in two for mexico against a naff side like brazil you lot are probably right about him not being all that in the english game but he is class.

He's the kind of player that would go to Wigan for 2-3m under Martinez and play week in & week out and be a complete revelation! After that he will go to somewhere like Liverpool for 12m +.

Zaha Update: After a fee of £5m + Baldock had been discussed and agreed upon. CPFC are now demanding more money.
He has to be full of it, the way he goes back and forth on almost everything. But, we are in for Zaha and if there is a deal, Baldock will be involved. I have no idea about the money and how certain it is that it's going to happen, but it's definitely possible and Zaha is willing to move to us.
Holt runs his arse off every game. May not be the most glamorous of players, but surely we want a team full of people who would give 100% each week and grind out the results when nobody gives us a chance.
It aint exactly as if he is **** in the goalscoring stakes, either, to be fair.
