Grant Holt puts in transfer request...

Everton it is then!

 

I thought when I see this earlier it was a sad joke by someone, why does he want to leave the club, I thought he loved it at Norwich/

 

No Lambert or Holt next season, wow you budgies are really going to be up the creek without a paddle!!

 

He has often stated a desire to play for his boyhood club Carlisle but surely not now?

 

It seems too sudden though, he only just bought a house in Norwich. I'm sure he said the other day that he hopes Lambert is still at Norwich when he returns from holiday.

 

Steven Fry exposing himself in the dressing rooms was always going to result in someone wanting out. I heard he liked it rough but the Hulk was having none of it!!!

WHAT A BUMMER!

 

Definitely Everton yeah

TOOL!

 

I still confidently predict regardless of what happens come the end of next season we will be higher in the league pyramid than Col who

 

Better than being a millions miles down the creek like Colchester.

 

My thoughts are that although Holt has been immense for us and I would love him to stay, this shows us that the only loyal people these days are the fans. If he or Lambert or whoever goes, the club will go on and we will also.

There are no facts, just rumours and we can all get carried away with these. If I had to speculate about anything I would go with another striker coming in who Holt sees as starting ahead of him. We have to remember Holt has not always been a starter every game. Let's say Rhodes , Roriguez or Abdoulle (?) are coming in and it looks you are not guaranteed a starting pace despite being top scorer, you may well feel a move is necessary that may be a big pay day as you come to the latter part of your career. In some way I can understand this.


If Holty is not here next season, then he gets my best wishes and luck for the future. He has been immense for us.

Lets see what happens.

 

yep, don't buy it that he is suddenly homesick. the more i think about it the more it stinks of an agent playing games

 

I was going to respond to Mike... then I came to my senses.


I stll think it's odd that having had definite info about a request going in, there's nothing solid linking another club.

 

adam drurys about to go on radio norfolk so switch that on

 

I agree with Beef. Let's ban him Dave/Maestro

 

Out of interest does anyone know if transfer requests are handed in by the player in person or done via an agent?

 

This is entirely the media's fault. We need to get some perspective.

Let's say that what should have happened is the club release a press statement stating that Holt has handed in a transfer request, he wants to move closer to his family in the North, and whilst he's enjoyed his time at Norwich, he feels he would rather leave at the top of his game.

The bloke is an honest, working class lad. He's not in the business of stabbing anyone in the back, ESPECIALLY not the club and fans who have made him a Premiership footballer.

We all need to calm down, he'll be (or would be) missed greatly. The media have got hold of this and all of a sudden people are saying he's a judas. For heaven sake.

 

Let's just remember something, the request was rejected, he's still a Norwich player.

 

People proper can't hold their loads can they, we just need to see what the situation is before we comment further.

Not disown him for everything he's done

 

Completely agree. You can't judge him without knowing all the facts. We will just have to wait for an official club statement.
