David1872 21 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 We can but hope. But please no rushed panic signings If we end up signing nobody then its clear we have had the piss ripped out of us all along.Theres no excuse not to have several players lined up as we always knew that Jelavic leaving today was likely to happen.

Govan Front 78 43 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 More chance of signing Grant Mitchell!We could send him in, SAS style, to forcibly brush Lemon's teeth & save me from the dry boak every time he opens his rancid mouth.

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Simon Thomas from SSN (a Norwich fan himself) has just said that there are talks ongoing between the two clubs.If we pull this one of it'll be a pretty big coup for the club, considering Holt's form this season and how well Norwich have done this season!

Holt would welcome the move...Let's hope so, Holt would be a great replacement.Was really impressed with him against Chelsea and West Brom a couple of weeks ago, so you can't say he's 'over the hill'. Definitely not a James Beattie signing, this lads quality.P.S Is what your being told reliable? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said around 2.2 but im only guessing thats the amount. I dont think its the money we are offfering thats the problem , its the fact that Norwich need someone else in.The guy i know isnt at work today however as usual on transfer deadline day hes on standby should anyone come in.Btw for what its worth he may not be everyones cup of tea, but i think he is excellent Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big, strong, can hold the ball up, can run with the ball, head it, bring others into play and knows where the back of the net is. I actually think, and a few could disagree with this, he may be more effectual to us than what Jelavic ever was... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about Holt is he may not be as good all round as what Jela was but he is a better finisher imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy500 463 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Holt would be a massive transfer. I'd argue one of the biggest in recent SPL history. The captain of a team in the top half of the Premiership who has been on the form of his life in the past couple of seasons. I'd be shocked and delighted if it actually went through.

Bigger than Jelavic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 The second goal in that video is what I'm on about, it's the SPL down to a tee.Some of his finishes are sublime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CottonRunt 978 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I honestly dont see why we cant manage to get Salihi, Holt, Templeton, and Jaager signed up today.All for a combined fee of about 3.2 million.Obviously we have wages/fees to pay on top of that, but i still dont think its impossible.

Edmiston Drive 3,846 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Agree, paying this money for someone his age, does not make sense when we are struggling money wise. Also as been mentioned his wages , he most certainly isn't coming to us to be on 8 or 10k per week.Do not think this will/should happen.
