Zak Van Burger 0 Posted February 9, 2014 Meant to add Wonder if the Villa fans are noticing that Bent keeps popping up with goals, he''s just scored in the last minute against the Mancs at OT.farming Bent out and bringing Holt in could prove a very bad career move for that nice Mr Lambert.

My guess is that Grant Holt will do nothing for them apart from score a winning goal against us in the 89th minute. Because that would be so very Holt / very Lambert. For that alone he will prove to be a worthwhile buy for them.That is the game in our run-in that I fear the most, and that includes the last four games of the season.

Houston Canary 0 Posted February 9, 2014 Seems like nothing but derogatory comments about him. He looked good in the one game I saw him with Villa. We sure haven''t replaced the leadership he provided on field. His 8 goals last season could be tops or 2nd for us this season. To say he''s fat is just idiotic.

I do, however, think that it probably was the right time for him to leave. As well as the fact that he wanted to leave himself, he is perhaps on the downslope in his career.I''m trying to get tickets for Villa Park and he''ll get a great reception from me if and when he''s seen, that''s for sure.

Badger 2,745 Posted February 9, 2014 Europe 93 and Making Plans agree completely. Holt was a brilliant players for us and I don''t think we would be in the PL if it were not for him.Interesting to see how many of the Villa fans criticise the style of football that Lambert plays at Villa!

Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0 Posted February 9, 2014 Holt looks fat and past it now... that said he will probably score the winner against us at Villa Park, making his short-term loan move more successful than the £8.5 million we spent on his successor.

Badger 2,745 Posted February 9, 2014 I liked this one:"I think that Holt has been brought in to allow PL to have two different game plans. Plan A will be to hoof and fight and if after 70 minutes that isn''t working then Plan B will be deployed …. bring on Grant Holt and fight and hoof desperately. PL has cleverly allowed himself the option of switching around the hoofing and fighting should it be necessary."http://www.villatalk.com/index.php/topic/10645-grant-holt/page-34or "Couldn''t give a **** about this fat slob playing for the villa, for me its more about what it symbolises...which is Lambert''s pig headed insistence on having a big lump in the box for his 1980''s long ball shite football."

Herman 11,136 Posted February 9, 2014 Why do posters vociferously stick up for an ex-player, but when one of our lads, who wear the badge still, get a regular slating, don''t say owt?Priorities wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowbeagle 0 Posted February 9, 2014 Holt is just the sort of player that raises his game when opposition fans get on his back, let''s not help them out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 6,145 Posted February 9, 2014 To me buying Holt was a weird piece of business by Lambert. Of all the strikers to buy, this reeked of a sad kind of one-upmanship over the Norwich Board and secondly an attempt to drag Hoolahan in (a big mate of Holt). It struck me at the time as slightly desperate too. Holt is and will be remembered as one of City''s greats but his best playing days are gone. I hope we chant for him away at Villa and go on to win..... as I now expect....our Lambert hoodoo well and truly over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Houston Canary 0 Posted February 9, 2014 Wow. So Holt is fat? Remember how he got the last laugh on that idiotic falsehood when he showed the Swansea fans just how out of shape he is after scoring his second of that match? Whether Villa fans appreciate him or not, we are definitely worse for wear without him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
