Official - Holtby

Eh. He's young, he'll make mistakes. There's certainly no shortage of stunning women willing to put up with occasional antics on the part of super-rich footballers. Hopefully young Lewis has learned a valuable lesson about trusting people he doesn't know particularly well with compromising material that can be sold to papers for hefty sums.
 
Big mistake by the lad, no doubt that this girl did a little more than she lets on to encourage him but he did the dirty none the less.
 
I'm sure if you searched the net Robbo you could find it.

I'd prefer to see a pic of this air hostess myself, just to see if we have to question his sanity.

He is far to young to keep it to just one girl, I would have done the same. He has plenty of time to settle down and do the boring stuff.

I think many footballers' working class backgrounds gives them a tendency to traditional values like marrying young. The likes of Bale and Torres have been married from their teens or early 20's, as are many footballers.

And in all honesty I'm not sure that is entirely healthy for a young man in their position. Conventional wisdom would say it's better to have them settled and at home with the wife rather than running around chasing skirt, but I'm actually not sure that's right. I think I'd prefer - for a player like Torres or Bale - for him to have that sort of wildness and energy that young lads chasing tail tend to have. Being married at 20 seems a bit like McMurphy's fate in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

Wish we didn't send him out on loan, one of the few players we have who can pick a pass.

And how! Yet so few fans seem to appreciate this. It seems they are blinded by his ostensibly naive tendency to follow the ball, but that's not necessarily what is happening. If you watch the way he plays, he's often busting a gut to help out his team-mates, or to put himself into a position where he can receive the ball and exploit the space others have vacated. In other words he's using his intelligence. Was a time when covering every blade of grass was the highest compliment you could pay a player, the likes of Roy Keane and Bryan Robson where masterful exponents of the art. But nowadays it's all about tactics, discipline and sideways passing.

Pah!

Yet he ends up barely touching the ball. That's not intelligent, it's brainless running around without a purpose.

Surely she'll be undressed in some tabloid shortly?

(which I'd much rather prefer to see to his private parts, honestly :cool:)

Could be. But if he is shepherding opponents, reducing their options on the ball and reducing the time in which they have to make decisions then there can indeed be purpose to his energy expended without touching the ball.

Exactly mate which if you do want to play a pressing game then you need some one to do this. I think sandro does it a lot as well, he is loved for it but holtby is not. Holtby has far more potential then sandro.

Well now that he has gone on loan at least our midfield now looks real quality right? Especially this afternoon

Didn't think he was that great today but. Fulham generally were the better side for most of the game and he had a key role in their side. At least he looked like he was hurting at the final whistle unlike most of our side now
 
Sounds like another good performance from him today. Set up the winner and came this close to scoring:

77 touches
5 shots
6 successful dribbles

Probably matches Lennon's total for the season.
