Scott-RFC 308 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I was guessing at the fee Scott but mainly because we were told in the press previously it was going to cost around 2mill. The only thing i was told was it would be a take it or leave it bid for himI imagine it will be about that, its just a lot for a player with no sell onAlthough if he gets us into Europe he pays for himself Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

warrior1690 6 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 dont see a problem with his age,the standard of football in the SPL is very poor so on that basis i reckon he has 3 good years in him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milleniummanp7 24 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Is this going to happen?My opinion....I'd be surprised if Norwich accepted a bid from us. Hope I'm wrong though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy500 463 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 2.2 on a 30 year oldReally?Not saying he wouldnt be good , but business wiseWe've done good business in getting Celik and Aluko for next to nothing, so I think if you put it more like £2.2m for Aluko, Celik and Holt it sounds a whole lot better.

RFC55 110,599 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Is this going to happen?Id imagine it all comes down to Norwich saying he can go mate.I dont think we would have remained interested if we thought he wouldnt be up for it.

ProfessionalCynic 2 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Business-wise, by far the most important thing for the club is getting Champions League revenue. Winning the league trumps all other considerations. If the board think that Holt would significantly increase our chances of getting that, then he's worth more than £2.2m to us.That said, I'm in the 'can't really see this happening' camp. Love to be wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
port_bear 86 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 2.2 on a 30 year oldReally?Not saying he wouldnt be good , but business wiseSouthampton got Billy Sharp for a reported fee of around £1.9m so I agree £2.2m on a player reaching the latter stages of his career isnt what I was expecting.Also from what i'm seeing in the goals clips a large majority of his goals have came from crosses into the box, i.e good service. Some on here were suggesting that signing Boyd would be a bad idea because he requires good service (which we cant provide) so why isnt anyone using this same negative when it comes to Holt. From what I am seeing he's not going to create many chances for himself and as he gets older he's just going to get slower. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SammyEnglish 48 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Holt would certainly be a good addition to the squad but i'd rather see that kind of money spent on a younger striker with potential. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFC55 110,599 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Lads once again i only knew we were offering a take it or leave it if Jela went.I dont know if its 2.2 i just imagined it would be around that as the previous mention of a fee was around 2mill. It could be much less.We will or now reportedly have made an offer. Ally rates him and lets be honest Aluko and Celik providing balls into the box is perfect imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjcale27 46 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I believe this is purely a smokescreen so that the club can say they "tried" to get a big signing in. Norwich don't want to sell!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

footygeek301 20 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Well given what Whyte said in his statement just posted on facebook and rangers website, we can pretty sure there will be no signings today which involve much of a transfer fee. Noway will we be spending 2 million quid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to look at Kyle Lafferty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
