    Holt - get him signed!

    Class act and could be a great coach in years to come. Well worth another 12 month contract.

    Lennon has said Holt has other issues to sort out first Sounds like he wants to do coaching and move back south possibly

    He helped us get out of the Championship and put his shiftin but this team will move on again next season. We need better IMO.

    Interesting New he hadnt been offered contract but assumed he had indicated he was mulling over other things he wanted to do
    Lennon realises he needs more goals from Strikers So if Keating's and Boyle both stay and they also want to then Holt may have to be the one to make way for new striker
    Will be interested to see how this one pans out

    I think Holt and also Keatings have earned the offer of a new contract. Whether the terms of the contract would appeal to them is another matter.

    Assuming these "other issues" are sorting his family situation out, IIRC they are still down south so maybe he wants to think before he stays in Scotland for another year

    Loved big holty since day one, he's obviously no where near as good as he once was and is probably a wee bit past it, but he works hard and compliments Cummings, when playing against premiership opposition this season he has been brilliant, would love to see him get a chance next year - not as a starter as I feel we could certainly get better, but would be a good player to bring on a bully defences.

    We don't have anyone else like him. doesn't win to many headers but still manages to bully defences.

    He has played an enormous part in our promotion and looks like a great character to have around the dressing room. A positive team spirit should never be under estimated and the togetherness of this group of players is probably the best we've had in a long long time.

    Wouldn't be disappointed if we are able to get him for another season.

    Holt and Keatings must stay next season. Those 2, Cummings and another striker next season would be marvellous.

    He's got us up the park, won free kicks,held the ball up and linked in very well with Jason.

    He's been a good enough signing this year. Would like to see him stay for another year as I believe against the better sides he's proved his worth.

    If he decides it's not for him then he gets my best wishes. As opposed to some of the pricks in our "support" that mock and humour him for various reasons

    He'll need to watch his weight in the top league.

    I think he's different class for a variety of reasons and hope he stays.

    Not for me. Like the big man but not enough goals or assists and very little movement. He will be 37 and playing up a level from this year where he has scraped pass marks at best.

    Think the club are waiting to see how he does with his coaching badges before offering him a contract

    Would be happy to keep him on as backup next year. He hasn't scored enough goals and his lack of mobility can look pretty bad sometimes, but his link up play and ability to unsettle centre-backs is underrated by a lot of our support IMO. Would be handy to have coming off the bench.

    Despite his obvious technical skill, I have doubts about whether he's got the pace to contribute in the premier.

    He's a real hand full and he makes a massive difference when he comes on

    Holt should keep the number 9 shirt for another season.

    That didn't seem to be a problem against the second best team in the Premiership at Hampden last Saturday??

    So from this thread we should keep Holt, Keatings, Cummings and Graham has a year left on his deal. That means no new striker for next season.

    Holts played against 2 premiership teams this season, Hearts and Aberdeen, and he was excellent in both games!

    Maybe hasnt scored a great amount of goals, but his all round play is excellent. Links the play well. Holds the ball up. Plays well with Cummings. Wins free kicks and gives the opposition a nightmare.

    As for people making comments about his weight, hes shown more than enough to suggest hes still very fit for a 37 year old man whos had several serious injuries in recent years.

    100% sign him up!

    Can't believe people want us to go with the same strike force as this season.

    There's no place for sentiment in football. Holt has done well for us but if Lenny thinks there's better out there then then he moves on.

    Graham will be away and Cummings possibly too. Can't completely change everything at once. We'll still need a new striker in and a good one

    To be fair, Cummings is the only one of the current strikers that would be difficult to replace.

    I'd be disappointed if we went in to next season with the same strikers as this season given the goal return from them this year.
