I love all these rumours, although some leave me a little short of breath.

Brilliant - we''ve got something (some people) to be worried about losing for a change.

And if some of these people rumoured to be orf, are in fact orf, well that will be worthy of a pause and a thank you for their amazing service to get us to where we are now. And we''ll still dream and remember them in decades to come.

But, let''s not confuse what they have done with what they will / might do. Especially when they''re 31.

Holt has been a God-like beast over the last three seasons and will forever remain so in our hearts. But if he goes, he goes and, yes we lose a talisman and a proven goalscorer. And someone we all love. But is he irreplaceable? Well, as a person and character the answer is yes. But can / will there be others who will - in their own distinct way - be able to score 15 goals a season? Yes. There are other proven goalscorers around. Do we know who that is? No. But Ted McDougall, Phil Boyer, Justin Fashanu, Robert Fleck, Chris Sutton and a whole host of other goalscorers came, provided great service, and went. And we remember them with fondness and here we are back - 30 years after some of them left - in the middle of the Premier League.

So if ''he''''s off, then that might be a pity, but he will leave without a blemish on his record (except maybe that he put in a transfer request) - more than a goal every other game over three seasons, and three consecutive POS awards.

I''d scarper now if I were him - it can only go downhill from here

oh ye of little faith, i hope your last sentence was said tongue in cheek. but in reality we must be looking to replace holt in the not too distant future, though he may have as many as four top years left in him.
