  1. This news is excellent and definately our best signing for several seasons in terms of signing the Premier League''s second highest English goal scorer!  As I mentioned elsewhere, Grant Holt''s importance to our team cannot be under estimated, I believe that he has made a bigger contribution as a player to our great club than ANY other player over the last ten years, including Hucks, and that''s saying something! As mentioned by others, it''s not just the goals he scores. Now, I just hope that CH starts him, when fit, for ALL the big games unlike PL who did occasionally get things wrong (yep, not often but he did) by putting him on the bench!   
  2. First of all, just to mention, that despite this being my first post I have been a regular reader of this forum for many years, and a supporter of our great club for 47 years. I don''t know why exactly I have decided to start posting on here after all this time, but today is the day.....and my first response is partly in defence of Wiz who I know from his occasional postings on the message board that I am a regular on.   I think this is a valid concern from Wiz, it''s just very different to some others opinion, and certainly doesnt deserve the abuse that some like to dish out to Wiz on a regular basis on here....aah, that''s probably why I havnt posted on here before.....oh, and the Spelling Police dropping in occasionally...no cant be that because they can just fcuk off (joke, before you try and get me banned after just one post). But seriously, whilst I do not agree fully with this particular view from Wiz, I certainly also felt after the Holt affair and at the time of the PL departure that something was not quite right at our great club. But, since then I have generally changed my view on this with the signing of Hughton and certainly I dont see the recent signing of a player from Rangers on a freebie as an indication of how much transfer budget there is this season. My guess is that we will splash decent cash where appropriate, but free transfers these days are no indication of any players true value, just a contractural situation! What I guess is that it''s not as tight as Wiz is suggesting, but not as high as some others have suggested. Anyway, a bit of an average post from me for my first one, but the message I wanted to get over was that from outside looking in it appears at times that Wiz is the victim of Message Board Bullying.....regardless of some of the off the wall views he has......alternative views, that''s all they are and he is entitled to his opinion like we all are.       I look foward to putting my penneth in on a regular basis OTBC
