Been reading a few reports on News Now linking him with a loan move to Ipswich which came as quite a surprise since he was apparently knocked back on a move to Celtic in the last window because he was firmly in Malkys plans for survival.
What came as even more of a surprise was the point that we pay him 20 grand a week.
That is A WEEK ffs not a year, not even a month but a week. Plenty of huff, plenty of puff but at 20k a week for a winger who can not put a cross in no. Let him go. Get shut or give him away for free asap.If there is any truth in that £20,000 a week, it makes me worry how much we’re paying Grant Holt to sit on his arse. He was signed at the same time by the same manager, wasn’t he? And a bigger name at the time, too.

Had the idiot of manager we had at the time played him instead of loaning him out, the 28K a week could have been money well spent as I bet he would have scored a lot more goals than McLean, Fortune, Delort, Riera, Waghorn and McKay combined.
Add those six players wages together who have amassed around 7 goals in total this season and it makes Holts wages look like chicken feed.If there is any truth in that £20,000 a week, it makes me worry how much we’re paying Grant Holt to sit on his arse.

A years wage for some who will have to put in over 60 hrs a week getting up at silly hours and where a 15 hour day is deemed normal. Wonder if he fancies a swap :lol: :lol:
I seem to remember Grant Holt as being, ineffective, lazy, overweight, and un-fit.
At the time we signed him, I thought he would be a great signing that would be capable of bagging 25 goals a season.
Unfortunately the reality was considerably grimmer.
I doubt he would have reached 7 goals by now.
Holt may have had a chance if played with a strike partner and if played in a settled side.
The lad has been a prolific goalscorer throughout his career so why as he not at Latics??Holt may have had a chance if played with a strike partner and if played in a settled side.

However, I also feel that some part of it was that after coming from non-league one of the reasons for his success was his hunger & desire to prove himself and that part of him came to Latics as one last pay day before he finished & that hunger (in footballing terms at least) & desire had diminished
