Official - Holtby

Re: *Official* Holtby to join in July thread

Reckon that AVB will only introduce him slowly into the team - where do people think he'll play? Replace Dempsey and play just off Defoe?

Yep, that's where I see him playing from the little I know of him, although someone on here last week said he can also play more defensively too, so maybe he'll play alongside Dembele.

I think AVB hopes he'll be the player Sigurdsson was meant to be. If he is, then we'll switch formation back to a lone forward with the support coming from the flanks (with Bale and Lennon probably switching wings to become inverted wingers) and play three men in the centre of midfield.

Hopefully the end of Hudd for this season.
 
Re: *Official* Holtby to join in January - pg 25

Ok ok we're getting somewhere now. Now we have cover for cm and the wing positions if needs be which is good. Ok Levy get us a striker now....even one on loan...anyone just to take the burden off Defoe.



Right now i would take Kenywne Jones on a 6 month loan.
 
Re: *Official* Holtby to join in January - pg 25

Any chance of someone can put up the ESPN after match interview yesterday when AVB was asked if Holtby was going to join us at the end of january............."NO".........why so cagey??

So we can presume the no in buying a striker as well we shall ignore.

Hopefully he'll make a permanent move somewhere and start fresh, best of luck to him if he does as I just don't see him being much use for us for us this season.

Edit: Welcome to the club Lewis, best of luck to you!

Did he really say Holtby wasn't going to join in Jan?

Opta's statisticians on Twitter: "Lewis Holtby has seven assists in the Bundesliga this season, only Thomas Müller and Marco Reus (8 each) have more. Creative."

Re: *Official* Holtby to join in July thread

That's not a very nice thing to say, is it?
Disagree anyway. Hudd over Parker any day.

What, that I don't want to see him playing for us in his current form?

Even as horrible as Parker was yesterday, he was still better than Hudd has been for most of this season.
