I will probably get grief for being on here again - but here goes anyway - I'm sure you can appreciate the feeling your club gets if ever a legend from the past returns - well Grant Holt has come back to Dale and he has given the place an almighty lift. Here he is bullying the Blunts on Saturday - enjoy. https://m.youtube.com/watch?sns=fb&v=ydT-9FNEJoo
I wouldn't usually condone a player winding up supporters like this. But it's dem blades so well in, Holty. [video=youtube;KhXWFM9O14A]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhXWFM9O14A[/video]
I'd have Marley Watkins over him, every day of the week. Great lad, Holty, and still has something to offer at this level in short bursts. But you're right. Our policy is to sign players like Winnall and Watkins.
i'd have had him in a shot. the big nasty ba$tard of a battering ram we'd been after for ages. probably not needed now though, with winnall and marley gelling so well. he'd probably be on the bench as 4th striker after fletcher as well now..
Big nasty ba$tard of a battering ram he may be but he even surprised me with his 45 min cameo on Saturday. I wasn't expecting him to have such an impact so soon and seemingly so long away from full match fitness. Just a class player, so much appreciation of the players around him and so sharp in the box too. A proper old school footballer who'll run and fight for the ball all day long. Just a massive lift for any fan who he plays for - the fact he's a Dale legend multiplies it by 100. We play Coventry on Saturday too - so could do you a big favour.
Enjoyed his goal against the blunts almost as much as he did. As Hammill showed us there's nowt like a returning hero to boost everyone.
Meks me laugh when people call Holt a fat *******... you clearly see the kid is pure muscle. I still think we could've done wi an old ead up front.
4 points. Just a realist - no chance of the play offs for us . bury, Oldham and Wigan coming up this month and we are ***** in derbies.
Not giving you grief as such, just questioning why anyone outside of Rochdale would want to see youtube clips of Grant Holt, doing whatever he was doing. Completely mystifying.
To you it's mystifying. But the forum isn't tailored to suit just your tastes, mate. I've seen plenty of threads/topics on here I don't particularly have interest in. I choose not to enter them. Shame you can't do the same rather than again pulling up a friendly rival supporter.
If we weren't in the same division and it was against Hartlepool Utd - that would be COMPLETELY MYSTIFYING.
