Transfer Rumour Rob Holding (3 Viewers)

[Sick Boy]

Play off chasing sides or a side who at best will finish mid-table

Not sure what difference it’d make to him.

Which is more appealing?

Which is more appealing?

Agree with Sick Boy, can't see the 10 points that currently divide the 3 teams being the major deciding factor. If he's looking to the long term he'll be looking at future ambitions, stability of the club etc... Say what you want about King but vs Wednesdays and Blackburns owners i know who i'd rather have.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

You would hope the Lampard pull would be attractive to a player.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

The hope would be, joining us he would be closer to home in London. Might be promised first team assurances which he might not get at clubs higher up the table. And weirdly less expectation due to the position at the club allowing him to be more relaxed considering he hasn’t played football in a couple years.

Also would hope Lampard might have a pull but both teams mentioned have highly regarded EFL managers

 

[torchomatic]

He'd be a quality signing and anyone saying otherwise ain't got a clue.

Literally back up to Saliba and Gabriel a few seasons ago. And people are saying he's not got the pedigree to play in the team instead of someone like latibeaudiere.

Honestly has fans we have to remember who we are and where we've come from. Two years ago we had Dabo filling in at CB ffs

Have to laugh at people on here, Twitter and Facebook. No matter which name is mentioned, someone will come out and say they're shit, or not good enough, too old, too young or - my personal favourite - "not what we need at the moment". They're suddenly experts on this particular players' career, their attitude, injury record...and it goes on and on.

I'm all for giving someone a chance.

Rob Holding not in the U21 squad.

Holding out?

 

[The Philosopher]

Holding out?

Holding out for a better deal?

(tumbleweed)

 

[The Philosopher]

Can he play as a Holding midfielder?

(Holding my head looking for better puns rn)

 

[The Philosopher]

What’s Holding this deal up?

 

[The Philosopher]

Are we Holding out and waiting for a better player to come available?

 

[The Philosopher]

I’m not Holding my breath on this one.

 

[The Philosopher]

That’s enough now. Stuff to do and this is Holding my day up.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Holding out?

For a hero?

 

[The Philosopher]

Mind you, he’s done well Holding on to his hair, I’m sure he was balding in his early career.

I actually think he'd be quality, and probably captain material, which would free up Sheaf to concentrate on passing to a team mate occasionally.

An experienced head will calm some of the younger players down and organise things defensively, which Dovin doesn't do as yet.

Yes, but can you see him holding down a regular place here?

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

He will be miles better than what we have currently and just his experience will improve the defence no end.

The problem is, he has had a fall out with his manager, hasn't played in the last 12+ months and is on massive wages.

I wouldn't be against a loan but we shouldn't be signing him permanently at this time.

Added on to that, if Thomas or Kitching has 6 months playing alongside a PL experienced defender. They will be much better for it next season, so we may not even need him.

 

[quinn1971]

Apparently Sheffield weds and Blackburn after him on loan aswell ?

Why? He's shit/old/injury prone/has a bad attitude/not played for ages/not what we need at the moment (delete as appropriate)

 

[quinn1971]

Why? He's shit/old/injury prone/has a bad attitude/not played for ages/not what we need at the moment (delete as appropriate)

But he’s not as shit as what we’ve got ex arsenal, crystal palace, it’s a step up from, Barnsley, Huddersfield and Peterborough, Which means he won’t be coming to us, far to good for us

 

[Bad Boy]

Why? He's shit/old/injury prone/has a bad attitude/not played for ages/not what we need at the moment (delete as appropriate)

He should fit in well with our DECK of doughbags then

 

[Otis]

Occasionally you come out with things that make me think you too have a guy who knows a guy

I think we all have a guy that knows a guy, don't we?

It's just that for me, the guy my guy knows, knows nothing.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Playing for Palace U21s tonight

Based on what? The only pull he will have is calling in some favours with loans from Chelsea which long term isn't beneficial and considering our league position doesn't look to be particularly beneficial short term either

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Yes, but can you see him holding down a regular place here?

unfortunately it looks like he’s been ‘holding out’ for a move to the MLS, so that’s another missed out on…

It's not a great loss

Surely there's quite a few young players who hero worshipped him and what to be associated and work with him

Why , they probably barely remember who is is . Let's face it his managerial career has hardly been glittering.

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

not sure I entirely agree, I think he would be good addition although there are probably better options for experienced centre halves

if Lats is going, we could do with a.n.other and also add some much needed experience, so who of a similar ilk is an option?

Coady? he’s playing a bit now, Keane? people aren’t keen, although I don’t think he’d be bad at all at this level… any other suggestions?

 

[Nick]

I don't want him but if we don't sign him I'm going to be fuming.
