when monday comes 0 Posted June 2, 2012 wondering could we add Sam Baldock to the deal young and one for the future and i know lower levels but a career average of one in 3 so not to bad either, would apear westham would be well stocked for strikers with the adation of holt. would sweeten the deal enough for me, although id not wish holt to leave but appears he is unsettled at nowrich now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tom cavendish 0 Posted June 2, 2012 West Ham already have 9 forwards and it is being reported that they are looking to bid £7m for a Real Madrid reserve striker:http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/west-ham-target-joselu-real-859405If Holt leaves Norwich then he''s going to be a bench warmer at best.

If they want to strop at someone, strop at Lambert for being a cnut. I very much doubt there is much truth in the Sun mutiny story, but it also included an aside that West Ham have had a 3m bid for Holt turned down, and goes on to claim we want double that at least. If there is any truth in it, then our players need to grow a pair and grow up rather than having temper tantrums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phillip J Fry 0 Posted June 2, 2012 The actual quote from the Sun story:“It has been an amazing season and it’s a shame it’s all ending like this. A lot of the players are very unhappy about what is going on.”From a Norwich player, apparently.Sounds less like a revolt and more like anger at the fact they feel Lambert (and now Holt) are trying to abandon them. They have every right to be unhappy, but they shouldn''t blame the club for this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smooth 114 Posted June 2, 2012 We have to act swiftly.Quite simply we need to move on this now.Lambert has gone and Grant Holt needs to have been sold very quickly, next week both have to have gone. We need to start getting our manager search on and begin to progress quickly.Bidding wars are dangerous, but lets hope a few clubs are keen and move quickly themselves.Our biggest question is what type of manager, to be honest as Lambert has left we need to look at a manager who will also install the self belief and drive.Few players out of contract might be very worried about their future, as I can see a mini clearout being more likely with a new man coming in with his team.We just need to move very very quickly.

scrappy33 0 Posted June 2, 2012 I''d have been happy with 3.5 so 4.5 maybe 5 is an excellent piece of business. Move over old man Holt make way for the young goal machine that is Jordan Rhodes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bryangunnshairline 0 Posted June 2, 2012 Westham are in for kenwyne Jones. The moose on talksport is a big westham fan and always seems to know a bit about what is going on. He said he would rather it be grant holt but he has heard they have put a bid in for Jones. Paper talk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 225 Posted June 2, 2012 I don''t think we''ll take anything less than £10m. Is McNally rubbing Holt''s face in it a bit saying how valuable he is to us, worth more than Villa''s reported budget, yet not giving him the 3 year contract he wanted?[:^)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

William Darby 0 Posted June 2, 2012 I''d laugh my bleeding head off if Villa are priced out of a move for Holt. Shambert will have to find a plan b & lard arse can go count his money on Wet Spam''s bench. City will move on and cope without them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Brownstone 0 Posted June 2, 2012 I saw someone say this on Twitter, pretty much sums up how I see it: "If the players are angry at anyone it should be Lambert, for selling them a vision that he didn''t believe in himself" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
