Re: *Official* Holtby to join in January - pg 25
Sunday 3rd March. Litmus test to see if he can fill VdV's boots.

Looks like a perfect replacement for VdV with his pass and move style combined with hard work and a aggressive attitude. His only weaknesses I have noticed is his lack of pace and he's a little lightweight, much like Van der Vaart. Hope he'll chip in with a few goals as we seem to rely a lot on Bale finding the net.

I dont know if were at the game or they showed it on the TV, but you are spot on with that statement.
I am absolutely loving this guy, his quick passing is excellent, throws himself about, presses from the front, and then to top it all off, he was probably the most passionate of our players.
Really pumped up in his celebration of the Bales goal, geeing up the fans, and along with Ekotto (who climbed into the crowd and giave his shirt away) were the first to come over to the fans at the final whsitle.
This guy is quickly going to become a crowd favourite, surely deserves a start v Toon
Watched on TV. But when they celebrated Bales brilliant goal, he was banging his chest screaming come on come on! And when Clattenburg blew he was first to the supporsers shouting and celebrating. I think i've got a mancrush on him already
I know he's only had two sub cameos, but he looks to have settled so quickly. Look at clint and Gylfi's first games and compare to Holtbys. Long may it continue!
That was right in front of us, I loved his passion. Great to see from someone who still hasnt played 90minutes in total for us, as of yet.
He is certainly doing the right things to make himself a hero amongst the fans
Didn't anyone else see the diagonal run he made just before the goal? As soon as Walker (?) got the ball, Holtby pegged it into the box and to the right, dragging a defender with him. He pretty much stopped and watched as Bale got the ball and struck it through the exact space that the defender had been occupying!
VERY intelligent run -- he knew exactly what he was doing.
I watched Holtby's celebration after Bale's goal again on Match of the Day and Holtby was saying to the crowd (about Bale) "He's the fcuking man.... He's the fcuking man!!" Really made me laugh.
What a neat and tidy footballer he is though. Nice touch, good vision and seems to offer constant movement. I know that AVB's first choce for this role was Joao Moutinho but I think Holtby will be just as good a player in this role (if not even better) was about £20 million cheaper in terms of tranfer fee, probably on lower wages than Moutinho would've commanded and is 5 or 6 years younger.
