Broxi 12,205 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Sky Sports understands Norwich City have rejected an approach from Rangers for captain Grant Holt.The 30 year old striker has been in fantastic for Norwich since joining from Shrewsbury Town in 2009.He has gone on to help the Canaries to consecutive promotions and he is now finding the net regularly in the Premier League.Holt has seven goals to his name this season and his form hasn't gone unnoticed.Indeed Sky Sports understands that Ally McCoist is a huge fan of the former Nottingham Forest man and is looking to take him to Ibrox.And Rangers are understood to have made contact with Norwich - although the East Anglian outfit rebuffed this making it clear they would not entertain selling.However, Rangers remain keen and seem certain to return with a firm offer before the window closes at the end of the monthWould be a great signing if we could pull it off!

simplythebestest 2,150 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I know he's been on great form but I don't think we need 30 year old strikers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrangemouthRSC 832 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Can't see him leaving EPL for us tbh.Been pretty decent for Norwich this season.Would think he would set us back a few million though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Buffalo 120 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Surely we can't afford him unless jelavic was sold? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Godfather 75,758 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 He's 30 years old and would costs plenty ona fee and wages.Why don't we try our luck with Sahili? This one's a non starter for me, it's not like he's not getting a game in the EPL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc 2,409 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 He's a cracking big player but I don't see it happening.Financially I don't think we could afford it. He is also a legend down there so they won't want him to leave and he also loves it down there.I highly doubt this will ever be a goer. Wouldn't mind it though because I think he'd do us a turn.

rangersross 6,723 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Pleasantly surprised that we're making such an audacious bid. I doubt we'll get him, but at least it shows ambition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangersross 6,723 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Oh how we have fallen An SPL club signing the captain of any Premier League side is, in my opinion, a big deal - given the financial disparity.

cwoodloyal 34 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Highest paid player at Norwich before they went up to the Prem,very good in the air,great finisher,but spends alot of time on the floor getting fouled,him and my cousin have been strike partners the past few seasons in there promotions up the leagues,scored over 100 goals between them.

Marco Negri's Beard 1,423 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Odd - Captain of Norwich, plays fairly regularly if not starting every week, would cost a few million. Can't really fathom him being overly interested or us thinking he would be overly interested. Don't see it myself Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.E.C. 19,594 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 61 goals in 112 for Norwich. Would take him in a heartbeat! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
