Norwich prepare shock sale of skipper Holt to big-spenders Leicester

Hi there Leicester Fan in peace (Honest) surely this can't be true? Don't get me wrong this would be a great signing for us but devastating for you . It sounds a bit like a recipe for disaster from Delia.

Anyway with or without Holt good luck for the coming season

Premier League new boys Norwich are ready to sell skipper and top scorer Grant Holt in a move that will stun supporters.

Sportsmail understands the Canaries have agreed a fee of around £2million with a Championship club, believed to be big-spending promotion favourites Leicester, for the burly hit-man.

Foxes’ boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has moved for Holt after losing out on Republic of Ireland ace Shane Long, who now looks certain to clinch an £8 million move to the Premiership.

Now it will be up to Holt, who signed a new three-year deal at Carrow Road in April, to decide whether he wants to move.

The 30-year-old former tyre fitter has scored 53 times in 92 games since a bargain £400,000 move from Shrewsbury two years ago.

His goals earned Norwich the League One title at the end of his first season and last term he helped them clinch a second successive promotion.

Holt was also crowned the fans’ player of the year for the second season in a row and supporters will be amazed to hear that the club are willing to sell him just nine days before the new campaign gets under way.

But boss Paul Lambert’s £3million purchase of Welsh international striker Steve Morison from Millwall, one of seven new summer signings at Carrow Road, means Holt is no longer guaranteed a regular place.

Despite his hunger to sample life in the top flight after starting out with Workington in the Unibond League, the fact that Norwich have accepted an offer for him could well convince Holt his future lies elsewhere.

it was written by an ipswich fan, who also worked for the club and writes books about them. they seem to have an agenda to try and tamper with the good vibes down at carrow road. this is one way of trying. it has failed. its made up. sorry. good luck next season

 

You too cheers mate

 

As Superman says, they´re clutching at straws early this year, forget it, it´ll never happen.

 

in football most things can happen but this season will norwich and football be said in the same breath /?

 

I know of a whisky called white horse!

That's not a very tasty mouthful either!

 

Is that the stuff that the skinheads used to drink on the Guildhall taxi rank? Classy.....

 

What a great time to be a City supporter! A seemingly malicious and fabricated story by an 1p5wich supporter in a right wing paper falls so far of its intention, has to be hastily withdrawn, and gives our Chief Executive the opportunity to remind everyone that Grant Holt is not just our highest scorer, but is our team's captain and our talisman, and is not for sale. Thanks Mr Henderson; time to write another book, slimline, about the post Cup success of your team.
