Mr. T 0 Posted June 3, 2009 Sorry for a new post but if we do ge him he''s 6ft, not really a target man.Gunn has said cureton has a key role, i guess along with Cody and Martin?We will not have much height up there next season unless he''s getting someone for holt to play off? but i guess not as he''s said cureton has a key role!Another mystery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stevo Barclay boy for ever 0 Posted June 3, 2009 He''s out of contract right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Humphrey 13 Posted June 3, 2009 No he isn''t. Pretty sure he''s got two years left on his contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stevo Barclay boy for ever 0 Posted June 3, 2009 How much would he cost us? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjwc22 0 Posted June 3, 2009 Reports reckon the best part of £500k. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. T 0 Posted June 3, 2009 I''d say aroung £300,000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stevo Barclay boy for ever 0 Posted June 3, 2009 We can''t afford that, unless we come up with some kind of swap deal. Maybe for Chris Martin or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjwc22 0 Posted June 3, 2009 Maybe the swap could be the key role for Cureton - would be happy with that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. T 0 Posted June 3, 2009 quite smart but i should image he means with our team, and for chris martin i would imagine he will stay due to his age and potential if he loses the attitude! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InLambertWeTrust! 0 Posted June 3, 2009 Sell Sammy Clingan and we could afford: Nelson, the spanish dude from MK (could afford to up his wages?), and Holt!I would love it if those 3 signed - along with a new keeper and a creative midfielder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norwich-red 0 Posted June 3, 2009 From what I hear Holt, on balance, did an OK job when at Forest. He was our top scorer at one point, though I think he barely got 10 goals so that may not be saying much. His goals/game ratio was not great. Looks like he''s done OK at Shrews, though that is at an even lower levelIn his defence some say he was played out of position by Calderwood on the wing.You could do worse, but you could also probably do better ...

AJ 1,218 Posted June 3, 2009 Scunny fans think he will go for around 275,00 - so considering the silly season, we''re probably looking at about 300,000 - 350,000 to bring him here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted June 3, 2009 Also, reported they won''t let him go unless they have a replacement lined up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. T 0 Posted June 3, 2009 Salahuddin where have you been? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mook 0 Posted June 3, 2009 Why does being 6ft not make him a target man? Mark Hughes and Alan Shearer were both extremely effective "target men" and neither were particularly tall. A target man needs strength, touch and awareness of the play around him.We all hate lumping it front for a striker to head (it rarely works) so why do we clamour so much for a "big man"?

Mr. T 0 Posted June 3, 2009 they where playing in the top league where they wernt just lumping balls up to them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lincs CR 0 Posted June 3, 2009 I guess people saying he''s not a target man because he''s not 6 ft god-knows-what like Peter Crouch haven''t seen him play for Shrewsbury this season. He may not be the tallest, but his strength and jump are the reasons he is so effective up there.As for saying Shearer was in the premiership and it wasn''t hoof ball is rubbish, when it came to him in the air, his strength and ability to jump was the reason he won a lot of headers... not his height, Holt is no different, just a lower league player than Shearer was Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jumpers for Goalposts 0 Posted June 3, 2009 He might turn out to be an ideal signing, but, if you look at his career overall he only had a few seasons when he has managed to score 10+ goals.I fear he could turn out to be another expensive flop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
