Bungay Canary 0 Posted December 25, 2010 Heard a vicious rumour last night that wet sham have stuck a bid in for Holt . all this talk about Holt is not for sale could be bullshit heard it all before about Dean Ashton then wham bang he was gone or could be the funding of bringing Ched Evans and Morrison in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grantroederdisaster 0 Posted December 25, 2010 Believe it when it happens and not a moment before! I''m Holt would improve the crock of s*** that is West Ham this season but I''d doubt he''d leave us in the middle of what could potentially be a promotion campaign to go to a club that is very likely to go down and not be a regular to boot! I''d like Ched Evans back at the club as an addition to the current squad but Morrison is a bit long in the tootk and maybe not that hungry for my liking!

ca 1 Posted December 25, 2010 Wasn''t going to put it on here but I heard that rumour too last week and that comes from a former player, hope its not true .What worries me is we bought him from Shrewsbury whilst we were in League 1 so I''m guessing he''s not on decent championship striker wages, lets hope we offer him a new contract quickly so he doesn''t have a decision to make.

Rupethebear 0 Posted December 25, 2010 I would imagine he''s not the highest paid player by any means. I think contract talks may start soon....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobbyLo 0 Posted December 26, 2010 Yes, all of this talk about Holt going is doing my brains in too. It wasn''t long ago that a thread was started discussing why Holt wasn''t good enough for the Chamionship! I believe City Angel started that thread and now you''re all talking like he''s about to jump ship for a Premier side. I was very vocal on aforementioned thread, as I have always believed that Holt is exactly what we needed. In my mind he had nothing to prove after his amazing league one season and still doesn''t. As luck would have it, he''s a top pro and has shown recently exactly why we need him captaining the side. Sure, he scored 5 goals in two games and attracted attention, but I firmly believe he''s committed to City so can we stop with all of the rumour mongering please??!!!

CanaryJames 0 Posted December 26, 2010 Grant Holt is not going anywhere, and even if he was, he wouldn''t be going to West Ham.Can we stop this rubbish please? It''s been stated several times by McNally (who we have no reason to disbelieve presently) that Holt (or any other senior player for that matter) will not be sold unless Lambert wishes to. Do you seriously think Lambert would let his star-striker, captain and fans-favourite go?Surely you can find something else to entertain yourself with than this?The fact is, if Holt went (which he won''t), then Lambert wouldn''t hang around too long either - if the club was selling players over his head.

Jonnyboy 0 Posted December 27, 2010 Put yourself in Holt''s boots... He''s been earning a low wage (by footballing standards) for most of his career. You''ve got two maybe three years left if you don''t get a serious injury before that, and a premiership team come in to offer you a 3-4 year contract on double / treble more in your pay pack then you could have ever dreamed about last year...What would you do?"Thanks Norwich had a lovely time, no hard feels, see ya later"Unfortunately this is the facts of life kids, suck it up because it happens every transfer window Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
