Lewis Holtby

[Christiffa25]

I know there has been threads on this guy before as well as rumours but....

Entering the laat 12 months of his contract this summer. You would think 4-6M may be enough to buy him. No secret hes a toffee and would love to play for us at some point.

Can play LW RW ACM CM and is a very creative player. Myslelf and alot of others keep mooting donovan and pienaar as excellent summer arrivals but maybe given ages we perhaps should be hoping for pienaar and holtby?

Anyway abit of a call out to the itk's here really (foxy lcab). Anything looking possible with this kid anytime soon??

 

[Bundy]

I don't know much about him. But I can only see us getting freebies. I don't think we'll see Donovan here permanently this side of 30 years old. I think we need a right mid fielder though.

We once had a prime minister called Harold Holt, drowned while swimming I think. There is also that other Holt who plays for Norwhich, he would be OK.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Has anybody actually seen him play? I mean more than a round up on Eurosport or whatever.

think he would be a good buy but worry his transfer fee may be a touch high.
plenty of choice for new players though, i like the idea of dempsey (again expensive) but it all depends on what, if any, funds the gaffer gets.
others i would like to see are 2 strikers bas dost (heerenveen) and jelle vossen (genk) who may not be too expensive and are both in white hot form over the last couple of seasons.
and of course if we could get pienaar back and maybe matt jarvis from wolves then that would be great business.
saying all this, i have just named 6 players and there is no way we will be getting that many in!!

The Holt is (or was) the name of a school in Liverpool.

I'm sure he's ace.

But when Schalke were playing Bilbao they were winning, then he came on and they lost.

That's all i'm saying.

Yeah. Hes a German international as well dont forget, hes not just some random name.

He would be an ideal replacement for Cahill really and can also play on the left. That said he seems to be a smart bloke and it wouldnt surprise me that he stayed in Germany for a bit to enhance his international chances.

Pienaar is less than 2 weeks younger than donovan

Pienaar is less than 2 weeks younger than donovan

He's African mate, he's probably about 38.

Holt rhymes with Bolt.

Usain Bolt is quick.

Everton need pace.

I know mate. And I know he's been highly rated for a while. But I also know a lot of people (me included) get caught up in the hype surrounding certain players. Can't judge the lad on the bits and bobs I've seen. Same applies to more inaccessible targets like Neymar and Hazard. You can see there's talent there, but the same could be said for a lot of players who never fulfilled their potential.
I guess what I was asking (in my clumsy/grumpy way first thing in the morning) was if anyone followed the Bundesleague regularly and could give us more info on the lad

 

[Herk]

This guy would be ****ing amazing.

I don't mind holt's beers, but much prefer cains. Local and all that
