not sure we should really put Holt and Hoolahan on the same level anymore

Holt couldn't get a game for Wigan, his legs have gone and he is borderline obese.

Hoolahan can still make an impact on games in the Premier League - although without really contributing goals and assists anymore.

Not sure Villa are relegation rivals to be honest. 6 points clear and a decent run in (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jan 21, 23:02:57
- it's not just about relegation though - they're only 1pt above us (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 21, 23:14:13
- they will be if they try to build their team around Holt and Hoolahan (n/m) (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 21, 23:04:02
  - They're giving the lads a hand. (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, Jan 21, 23:09:38
  - They're not though. They'll add options to what they already have. (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jan 21, 23:07:24
    - I reckon he felt he was losing the dressing room (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 21, 23:13:42
      - Didn't look like he'd lost the dressing against Liverpool (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jan 21, 23:24:08
      - Hollahan is like Holt, decent footballer, and probbaly not breaking the bank (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 21, 23:17:12

        "borderline obese" (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 21, 23:31:52
        
        And Elmander is a class above Holt? Don't see it I'm afraid (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jan 21, 23:26:55
        
        I think Mecagoenti is getting Hoolahan's assist contribution (1 in 5 starts) mixed up with (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 21, 23:30:50
        
        Plus, assist contribution is a bit of a red herring for a player like Wes. (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jan 21, 23:35:53
        
        agreed (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 21, 23:37:43
        
        3 matches, meaningless twaddle as usual. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 21, 23:40:53
        
        He's not a class above the Holt of two years ago (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 21, 23:30:10
        
        Holt looked surprisingly good against Liverpool (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 21, 23:31:36
        
        hmm.... Holt v Liverpool (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 21, 23:36:00
        
        clearly you didn't watch the Liv Villa game then... (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 21, 23:37:47
        
        I thought we weren't too bad as an attacking unit at Liverpool (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 21, 23:40:28
        
        We were awful. Elmander didn't even manage a shot (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 21, 23:42:46
        
        Elmander's role is to link the play and hold the ball up (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 21, 23:45:12
        
        I'd probably expect us to get a few shots off given the game was over on about 30 minutes (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 21, 23:47:18
        
        everyone knows Elmander has been awful for us (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 21, 23:37:42
        
        no they don't (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 21, 23:39:09
        
        Palace was utterly forgettable for all concerned. Conditions were horrendous. (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jan 21, 23:45:23
        
        He's a good defensive attacker, I'll give him that (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 21, 23:44:06
        
        We'll have to agree to disagree on that one! (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jan 21, 23:31:21
        
        Elmander never made the grade at Bolton and we can see why here (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 21, 23:26:54
