Danny Holla?

[Rookie]

Well I like him, in a gus or Oscar team I think he would shine. Can't see him being here next season though.

 

[GingerBeerMan]

He came from the Dutch premier division and fans of his club thought he wouldn't be out of place in the premier league.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Really ?

I cant think of one thing Holla is better at than Stephens

Stephens is faster, more mobile, gets around the pitch, a better tackler, drives forward, better in the air, will score more goals, his passing is good short or long, and has some tricks when required,a proper box to box midfielder at this level in my opinion.

As you can tell i don't agree with you ;-)

Holla has been a huge dissapointment in my opinion, I would not be unhappy for him to stick around as back up for Ince, Kayal and Stephens as our central 3. But with Crofts and JFC already on board, I really cant see him being involved.

I think Stephens is Sunday League so guess what I think of Holla

 

[Barnham Seagull]

Not quick and athletic enough for championship to be effective consistently.

 

[matski_98]

Holla's only real contribution was that he was the only new player to have a half decent song this season

 

[dazzer6666]

Stephens had an awful game on Monday. Probably the worst I have seen him play.

TBH I'm struggling to think of any game, either side of his injury, when he has properly imposed himself on the action.

 

[portslade seagull]

Another saving on wages at the end of the season

He has a sprained wrist apparently

But it won't be though will it.

We'll not start next season with a centre midfield squad consisting of:-

Ince
Kayal
Stephens
JFC
&
Crofts.

So 'offloading' Holla means either, buying someone else. (Do you want a cheaper Danny Holla?)
Another loanee... :sigh:
Someone from the development squad, who's not even made it to the bench this season.

Basically take money straight out of the 'new striker' savings jar.
Or weaken a crucial part of the team.

Holla's no Kemy, if he can improve to English football only slightly he's plenty good enough for our first team squad.


Keeping Holla to spend more striker, is a no brainer.

Yeah but we will still have Lua Lua and March who will take at least 1 midfield berth

3 of those 5 have played together plenty of times, under Hughton..

So off loading Holla, irrespective of which players are used will leave only 4 players covering 3 places.
Anyone relying on Crofts is mentals.
Potentially much the same could be said for March, and possibly even KLL.

Whichever way you slice it, Holla leaving will cost the club money or competitiveness.

Down to CH at the end of the day, will make for a interesting summer as the manager will actually be insitu and hopefully make a early start on rebuilding

Definitely.
Hughton being the Albion manager 01.09.15 is more important than anything else.


I fully appreciate none of us know the whole truth about any of the players.
Holla could be a model professional ready to sign an extension.
Or
His attitude could be raising eyebrows at Lancing with those around the club coughing *kemytwo* as he walks past.

From what I've seen of him, on the pitch, playing in a new country, taking into account the expense and gamble of a replacement, I wouldn't 'get rid' on a whim.

There's been a hell of a lot of 'throwing the baby out with the bath water' on here, since Monday, and that don't come cheap.

Think we will see around 5-6 new players next season

 

[Peter Grummit]

Yes, too many of these. We pay their wages but they leave their sole somewhere else.

Is that the same as putting his foot in? We wish.

Playing with disintegrating boots might explain it.

 

[skipper734]

Needs a clear out of Cloughie proportions.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Does even the 'untouchable' Richard Reynolds fave Kaz LuaLua come under close scrutiny right now?
