Much as it hurts me to say so, it is the right move for Holt and for City. I'd have hated seeing him sitting on the bench getting the odd 10 minutes at the end of a game now and then. At least he won't play against us and he has the satisfaction of playing in the Europa league and being close to his family. Good luck to him and to Wigan!

VERY well said and I feel at the end of the day, it's a good move for both parties!!
 
Another 'no-nonsense'article on Holty -http://www.wsc.co.uk/wsc-daily/1164-july-2013/10048-grant-holt-made-norwich-s-top-tier-return-possible


I particularly liked this comment - "Under Hughton he sacrificed his attacking instincts for the manager's mantra of defending from the front. He might not have liked it and it demanded energy of body and mind that would be testing for any lone striker, but by his example the team stuck to the task through difficult times to ensure that they would not, at any cost, be relegated."
 
Toby Alderweireld deal just had a read on a newspaper from over there saying him to norwich is canceled something about not agreeing with the new employers

so we might not have him now so we are going to need to find someone else for that position now and 2 strikers still who else do we need he wanted them all in before us tour thats not happened as they leave for heathrow on sunday for flight on monday 15th
 
Fair enough. Sounds like a salary stalemate. It wasn't a critical position to fill. We've got cover there but no argument from me that he would have been an improvement.
Don't get all "Canary Call" on us Andy if we don't get these players in before the US tour. Plenty of time and once again I'm pleased the management are sticking to their guns. We've got a list of players we want and a salary expectation. If they don't fit then we move on.
 
in more pleasing news, the hooper deal is on the verge of hotting up 'big-stylee'. lennon has admitted hooper may well have played his last game for the hoops. it's between city and qpr for his signature. so its premier league football and the chance to enhance your international prospects or its money and championship football. let's see where your priorities lie mr 88 <ok>

Supers -interesting dilemna for Hooper and it will indeed be a case of "choosing where his priorities lie!!!"

As transfer deals are prone to do.
Things rarely go specifically to plan.
Issues arise, snags need ironing out, personal terms involve a certain amount of wrangling and eventually, a compromise.

Exactly what part(s) of the above is it that you can't get into that skull of yours??

Far as i'm aware, NOTHING has changed, his agent said deal will be completed FRIDAY AT THE EARLIEST!
 
A minority view but I couldn't care less that holt has left : I support the team not individual players so I don't glory in his hat trick against the lovely team from Ipswich but I fecking loved the teams performance
