Although the article asserts he wants to leave

the actual quotes don't really suggest that, do they?

He wants to go 'cos RVW is coming? - But he wants to play in a front 2 (more likely when RVW is here)

He wants to go 'cos his kids have gone up north? - He says outright it's because they don't want the kids moving schools - if he's got a 2 year contract here you'd presume he could see that out (It's not as though footballers don't commute/tend to put down roots elsewhere to where they play cf.Chris Sutton)

He wants to go because he's hinted that he's not happy for the first time? - I'm pretty certain he 'hinted' that he wanted to leave last summer.

I hope we keep him. We need to strengthen the squad and I can't see how losing Holt will help.

- Serious Question....... where would he go? (NCFC) - usacanary, May 15, 06:26:10
  - Bristol. (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, May 15, 08:22:33
  - Hull? Celtic? (NCFC) - lurd, May 15, 06:41:49
    - Interesting fact.......... (NCFC) - usacanary, May 15, 06:48:34
      - 3 year deal + signing on fee + his norwich contract paid up (NCFC) - lurd, May 15, 06:50:11
        
        Oh and that's not really interesting or a fact. (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, May 15, 06:59:46
        
        I thought it was when I found out..... especially if we sign Hooper of possibly Forster? (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, May 15, 07:03:29
        
        How do you know it's a fact? (NCFC) - lurd, May 15, 07:04:24
        
        FYI, Hooper is on a performance/goals tally contract with Celtic. (NCFC) - mike_the_sphinx, May 15, 07:24:01
        
        Yes....... (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, May 15, 07:09:59
        
        Right you are. (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, May 15, 07:18:33
        
        Don't think we'd pay off his contract. Maybe a bit as a sweetener possibly? (n/m) (NCFC) - finkleton, May 15, 06:54:36
        
        This........ (NCFC) - usacanary, May 15, 07:02:03
        
        if the player doesn't ask for a transfer they have to pay it off (NCFC) - Charles21, May 15, 08:18:07
        
        So we would pay him off rather than keep for the same price? (NCFC) - usacanary, May 15, 15:17:39
        
        They don't HAVE to pay it off. Keep him around... (NCFC) - trafford_canary, May 15, 10:18:45
        
        Very much this indeed. (NCFC) - lurd, May 15, 08:41:46
        
        we wouldn't do that though, it would be a compromise (NCFC) - finkleton, May 15, 09:24:49
        
        Cant see anyone giving Holt (32) a 3 year deal........ (NCFC) - usacanary, May 15, 06:53:41
