Thanks. Hope that''s right. Think a Holt-Maric partnership could get us alot of goals with the creativity of Hoolahan/Hughes/Whaley etc.

For what it''s worth Shrewsbury are saying he was left limping in training and they won''t risk him.  It''s the second time his ankle has played up since he returned to training - they pulled him out of a local friendly for the same reason.

The club are insisting that you have not yet asked their permission to speak to him.  It may well be that you plan to do so but they are saying you have not done so far.  They also say they have not had an approach from Notts County - a rumour that is also doing the rounds.

I would point out that when they were asked about Colchester''s approach they confirmed it immediately and said the club had been told Holt is not for sale.    For the record the Chairman/Owner says he would not even consider any approach under around £400k - roughly double what they paid for him.

It is possible, of course, that Shrewsbury are keeping it under wraps but they are normally very, very open and straightforward.

i think you are right that he''s still injured.

would still be a decent signing though.

He''s not playing as he is still recuperating after ankle surgery.

Fair enough Cam, but did you not post this afternoon that you''d spoken to their press officer who told you that he was due to take some part in their game tonight? I have been very sceptical about this all day, but I''m starting to believe that something''s going on.
