Will see enough of you this month #whopsI could spend days interpreting the tweet to mean many things, but I''ll just leave it here for you to ignore like that slight pain in your right testicle.

Move Klose 303 Posted July 7, 2013 no i mean others were suggesting pant wetting because this thread was started. when was just stating betting had been suspended. im not overly fussed if he stay or go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Wall Of Tettey 0 Posted July 7, 2013 Yes hooper was 1/4 on sky bet for a day then it was suspended, then suddenly dropped back to evens! Bookies have to cover their own backs and if they get a sense they''ll lose they''ll pull the plug as a precaution!If we get toivonen I''m happy to say thanks and bye to holt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,735 Posted July 7, 2013 i fear this might rip the heart out of the team, and I could easily envisage many an occasion where Van Wolfswinkel could do with Holt''s prescence alongside him as a ''minder''. Admittedly though £4m is a good price and Wigan seem to be making some decent signings.I hope Hughton/McNally know what theyre doing on this one and have something lined up?could well be down to RVW and Becchio very shortly ?!?!

Wings of a Sparrow 1,409 Posted July 7, 2013 I''m sorry GJL but how can you say you can "easily envisage many an occasion" about RVW without having seen him kick a ball in Anger for us yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Highland Canary 76 Posted July 7, 2013 Oh dear. Let''s hope McNally and Hughton play this window for strikers better than the last two. That leaves RvW plus a striker Hughton won''t play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,632 Posted July 7, 2013 Don''t overplay it, GJL. While Holt has been great for us, time moves on, he is not irreplacable and there is far less room for sentiment in the PL, we can and should be looking for better. If he leaves it should be with our thanks and looking forward to our next ''hero''. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Brownstone 0 Posted July 7, 2013 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11709/8811918/Transfer-news-Wigan-agree-fee-with-Norwich-for-striker-Grant-Holt Wigan Athletic have agreed a fee with Norwich City for striker Grant Holt, according to Sky sources.The Latics will now discuss personal terms with the 32-year-old who has been with the Canaries since 2009.Holt netted 15 league goals in Norwich''s first season back in the top flight in 2011/12, but he only scored eight Premier League goals last term and City manager Chris Hughton has been actively seeking reinforcements up front.The former Sheffield Wednesday, Rochdale, Nottingham Forest and Shrewsbury striker does have a prolific record in the Football League though, and new Latics boss Owen Coyle wants Holt to spearhead his strike-force in the Championship as Wigan seek an immediate return to the Premier League.Sky Bet had earlier suspended their betting on Holt''s next club after he was repeatedly backed at 1/5 to join Wigan.Sky Bet football trader Chris Spicer said: "We had to pull the plug on Holt''s market due to the sheer volume of bets we''ve taken on."Our customers have been queuing up to back the move, which was an even-money price just two days ago and as long as 8/1 last week."

crabbycanary 2 Posted July 7, 2013 It would be disappointing for the team to lose one of the players that binds that team together, but it was always going to get to the stage where a decision had to be made on Grant''s future. Wether there is anything in this or not, he will go at sometime. There is also the possibility that there would get a time, when his staying, when not up to 1st team standard, would have a negative influence. Hence the reason to sellI also trust Hughton, McNally et al, to have plans a plenty in place for any such occasion for any player. Also, it is only the 7th July!
