Holt vs Jackson?

We'd never get Holt but wouldn't want him anyway. Poor mans Rickie Lambert.

 

Barnard vs Jackson would have been a better question.

 

Not in a million years will Grant Holt be a Saints player by February. He is too similar to Lambert, Norwich will likely go up to the Championship and Norwich will not sell him.

 

What made you choose Holt for this?

 

Yeah silly me, why would we want 2 Lamberts, he's crap, right!

 

Anyway, neither will happen it is just a question that came to me. I dreamt that both Narwich and Gillinam were skint.

You are missing the point about them being too similar. If Holt came to Saints he'd expect to start, a team with Holt and Lambert in wouldn't work. They both need someone to do the running for them. They are both target men and would get in each others way.

 

Also why would Holt leave a team that is 2nd and has an excellent chance of promotion, to move to Saints who "may" make the playoffs? Also why would Norwich sell him to a rival? Yes they have money problems, but they aren't urgent and certainly would be helped by selling their top scorer.

I'd rather take Pitman from Bournemouth and Tyson from Forest.

 

Pitman would be a great back-up to Lambert as they are similar sort of players - both big second strikers - and I think he would be happy being a back-up in League 1 and opposed to playing in League 2. Also think like Lambert we could improve him a lot as a player. Plus he supposedly wants to join Saints.

 

I's also like us to sign Nathan Tyson from Forest to give us that pace upfront we are badly lacking. He's proven at this level - and would work well with Lambert/Pitman or Connolly.

 

Jackson and Beckford will both end up playing in the Championship or Premier League by the end of January!

 

Vokes on loan would be the icing on the cake - would give us another option upfront - a proper old fashioned centre forward - he wants to play for us or so we are told - he's young and will get better - and he can play with Pitman as proven at Bournemouth!

We're more likely to raise George Best from the dead and play him than sign Holt.

 

I've been mightily impressed with Holt, but he is very much a player in the mold of Lambert, a fighter with an eye for goal. I'd rather have Lambo, but had we signed Holt instead I wouldn't've been too disappointed.

 

Jackson would be the better signing for us, a player that can compliment Lambert, and give Connolly that all important rest.
