✍️ OFFICIAL Rob Holding (Out)

[Blankety Blank]

Rob Holding is a valuable defender if your team sits deep and mostly defends in the majority of the games you play.

Just because he doesn't suit us and isn't "worth" much to us, doesn't mean he isn't worth a lot to others.

I agree with this

As I have said for a while Rob certainly doesn't gel with our high line ball playing style but would be a useful addition to other teams.

Think there will be interest in him.

Only 1 year left but HG.

Obviously we would need to get Timber or similar in.

 

[Malky]

Think Celtic would be a great move for him - he'll do well in the SPL, playing attacking football under Rodgers and also play CL.

 

[Dutch D]

Rumour is been told he can leave.
Fee wanted in region £8m

Celtic are meant to be in discussion. Also possible links to Brentford.

Inshallah

 

[TH14shahriar]

Please God leave this club

 

[MartiSaka]

It was a Celtic site. It says the link is through OLT sports but on further Inspection wouldn't trust them.

Oh well we can all dream.

Sorry to get everyones hopes up lol

Celtic in discussion over Arsenal star Rob Holding

Report - Celtic in discussion with Arsenal star Rob Holding's representatives

God no, I thought I could finally escape holding. 8 million is a very expensive signing for Celtic, especially since they play a high line and require CB to play out also. Not sure Rogers is going to change the approach that drastically from Ange. We are back to financially irresponsible signings that don't fit with Rogers back .

 

[Football Head]

We're going to need some real tough laundry detergent to get rid of this shít stain.

 

[Macho]

Likelihood of this transfer aside, Celtic would be a great move for him.

 

[bingobob]

I'd take him. With regular minutes he can be a decent player.

 

[AberGooner]

He'd do well at sides like Everton or Luton off the top of my head. Trying to think of sides where he wouldn't be expected to keep the ball on the deck so often.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Holding should be fairly easy to move on tbh.

£8m-ish to a lower PL side I'd think. He's not going to be asked to be as expansive in those sorts of clubs'systems as he is here.
As a basic nuts and bolts defender he is fine for what would be expected of him there.

Just needs to find his level (which isn't here)

 

[Riou]

Could pretty much start for any non European team in the league, though I would prefer he go and collect silverware at Celtic if that's an option for him.

Been a good servant to the club on the whole, just gone past his level now.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Could be good to see him for Celtic. He'll add hair to their team.

 

[Makingtrax]

I'd take him. With regular minutes he can be a decent player.

He is a decent player but needs to leave now that the fans blamed him for the slump at the end of the season. All those freeze frames, video clips and convoluted arguments were constructed to make him the fall guy to absolve Arteta and and the rest of players from being called bottlers.

 

[Topside]

Hope he moves also to get regular football, helped us win 2 FA Cups.

Sadly the drop off between him and Saliba is huge, not his fault and hopefully what we improve in the window, quality squad depth.

Holding AND Keane at the centre of their defense.

Looks like "3rd time's the charm" as far as relegation is concerned

Nah I think Rob can be a decent PL defender, just not quite good enough for a top 4 side. Further down the league there's not many great centre backs, he could find himself a starting gig somewhere.

Only 1 year left but HG.

Holding has 1+1 years left in contract.

 

[El Duderino]

closing this until a proper link appears.
