It's on!.... I've seen it also.... not on Facebook either.

I honestly can't believe he's only 31 and playing in Americas 2nd tier! I think/thought he'd be much better than that standard! I've seen quite a few 'NASL' games and the standard isn't great by any stretch. I didn't even know he was out here.

Would be a good signing for us. Champions League and International experience in abundance, so I'm sure he'll cope at this level. Will probably mean more hoof-ball but I'm alright with that if it gets us out this league.

Quite a few thought Holt would be a good signing too, don't know if signing these past it players is really what is needed right now.

[scoopyboy]

Let me see;

Played in World Cup Finals, European Finals, later stages in Champions League (including an away winner for Celtic and they don't happen a lot) and only 31yo.

Should be 100% yes but I'm not so sure.

why do we have to wait till january he's a free agent.

Holt has been a good signing.

He's had a couple of bad games leading to him being dropped. When he's been out the team we've looked a far poorer team than we have with him in it.

There was me thinking it was just me that actually thinks Holts a good player.

Very clever and defenders won't like playing him IMO.

I wouldn't say good more average, with his scoring record I expected a far bigger return from him, he's had 4 months of football and still looks unfit.

Samaras would be like Malonga but better. Totally disagree about Holt, I like the effort he puts in but he can't score goals and his sharpness has gone.

Because he became a free agent outwith the transfer window.

Do you mean he physically looks unfit or plays as though he is unfit? For me he might look like he is carrying some timber but he puts in more running than most.

With a player like Holt it isn't really about his scoring rate. We've talked for a while about a type of player that might get less goals himself but means as a team we score more and also lose less because they keep defenders occupied and hold it up for others. Holt does pretty well at that role. It's not spectacular but he does his job.

Carrying timber probably, he looks the same as when he first arrived, I thought he had a good stone to lose then, yes he does put in a decent shift but his strike rate is very poor so far. I get he does extra stuff that allows others to do more, just expected a far better goal return from someone who scored as many as he did not too long ago.

I don't think Holt has done a good enough job and if this rumour is true then neither does Lennon.

Me too, he does not score enough, he falls over even more than Nish, and he is plays too far from where he should be playing, always drifting out wide or chasing back.

No wonder he always looks knackered, if he just concentrated in playing up front in a more central role, he just might contribute with a few more goals and assists.

If the rumour is true, Samaras surely cant be any worse than him?

Have to agree with that

He looks to have the kind of build where he isn't ever going to lose the extra regardless of how much effort he puts in...which I don't fault, but he isn't going to get any sharper, his age is very much against him. A big solid guy who can hold the ball up but now has trouble finding the goal. I'm not disappointed when he doesn't start a game. 3 in 14 isn't a good stat for a striker

[Dashing Bob S]

Rather not have another old fat cart horse at the end of his career, who can't score goals. Even the Yams wouldn't have both Holt and Samaras on their books.

[.Sean.]

Is there any substance to this rather that some shan wee Facebook rumour?

[Stax]

One of the best sing songs at Easter rd for years involved Samaras. Not many words iirc .

[Brightside]

Holt will find it harder than most to lose that extra round the mid-riff. He genetically a big lad, and a bit late in the day do change all his eating patterns etc. I do think he's a good player but how many chances actually get laid onto him? Very few. Final ball remains poor in most games and until we can fix that we wont score anywhere near as any goals as we should.

[trev the hat]

Samaras would be a fantastic signing, more mobile than Holt & 4 years his junior.
Holt has disappointed the last month & rightly IMO finds himself on the bench.
Can't see Samaras coming to ER but would be delighted if it happened.
