canary2010 0 Posted June 17, 2010 Im really worried about the rumours circulating that West Brom have had a million pound bid accepted for Grant Holt. Im told its being reported today in the local brummie press also and its on the Norwich City Mad forum, link attached:http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=400&fid=191&sty=2&act=1&mid=2121274780I know that league 1 is a big jump but I think he could easily play in the premier league, holty is a lot better than beckford and look where he is now. Also been told by my mate who works at the club that Holt wants to go because he cant ever see us getting back in the premier over the next few years.Worried, very worried.

Boyo 0 Posted June 17, 2010 Holt would be stupid to do this. He is unproven at Championship level let alone premier league level. I think he would also make himself look stupid in the prem because he wouldn''t be very good there. Also if he did this then he is more big headed than I thought and I would hate him for it!Probably rubbish though! [:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SnakepitCanary 0 Posted June 17, 2010 If Scunthorpe have asked £3 million for Hooper after one good season in the Championship, shouldn''t we go for at least £2 million? I can''t see West Brom wanting him though, but he''s worth more then £1 million. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 6,950 Posted June 17, 2010 Morty, pretty ridiculous actually.Other clubs may only be willing to risk a mil on him but he''s worth more than that to us in my opinion, and most probably in Lamberts too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davo 0 Posted June 17, 2010 I doubt this is true. Surely if West Brom are actually looking to stay up they should be looking at proven premiership quality. I remain unconvinced Holt is of that quality. Dont'' get me wrong I like him a lot and think he will do well at this level but it would be a pointless risk for a team like West Brom.As for him being worth 1 million, if Steve Howard was worth 1.5 million a couple of seasons ago there''s no reason why Holt isn''t worth that or more.Davo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jacko 0 Posted June 17, 2010 Rubbish. He is on a 2 year deal and we have an option of another year on him. Why would we sell him for that amount of money. You arent going to get a replacement of that calibre of the same price. They bought Simon Cox from Swindon for £1.9 million so we could demand that for Holty in my opinion if we were to sell. Since it is your first post you are clearly a wind up merchant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Given his age and low amount of higher level experience a million would be a very good price and im sure lambert would take that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
