£4m for a 31 year old lower league striker seems a lot to me

Many strikers have had a fantastic debut Premiership season only to show their true colours the following year

Was originally quite happy with the Holt rumour, but 31 years old? Not for me currently, I dont think we lack experience in our side so i would be inclined to add some young, & talented prospects ala Zaha for instance.

It`s better buying Holt than morons like Crouch,Kenwayne Jones,kevin davies and so on.

He is like Dean Ashton and 15 goals are quite good.

The minute I heard he wanted out at Norwich I said to my missus we should go for him but at £4m I'm not so sure.

She wasn't really that interested. :lol:
I talk at her rather than with her when I bring up football.

We once payed 5m for a 30 year old Hutchinson, we shouldn't be making these sort of mistakes again. No to Holt unless its about 2million.

Just seen a bit of TV footage of Russia's very impressive demolition job on Italy in a pre tournament friendly match. Russia, have a bloke, a midfielder called Alan Dzagoev. ****ing 'ell, this geezer looks the complete b*llocks. I confess, I have never, ever heard of him, but he looks fabulous. A kind of Messi, a sort of Eden Hazard type player, but at a fraction of the cost. He plays for CSKA Moscow and has scored 4 goals for Russia in 8 qualifying matches. Not bad for an attacking midfielder. Go get him now Sam, before his value go's up by around £10m in a few weeks. Oh f*** it, don't take my word for it, he will be on your own TV screens next saturday

I just hope we start bringing in new players quickly, I wonder whether we are going to announce three signings at once, I'd rather we brought in the majority of new arrivals early so they can have a full preseason with us. Hugely important in my view with regard to team building, bonding and getting used to each other on the pitch...

Any news on Stech?

Not been mentioned as one of those released yet.

With Green, Boffin, Kurucz and possibly Stech leaving are we looking for 2 keepers?

Anyone watch the youths and know if Larkins is good enough to be considered number 3 keeper?

Where is this 1 season wonder thing with Holt coming from? Scored 23 and got 14 assists in the Championship season before last, 30 in league 1 before that, 28 before that and this season he got 15 and 3 assists. 31 or not he's worth a punt
