Transfer Talk! Grant Holt Linked To Villa!

Once the new manager is formally announced we`ll start the front page transfer thread that stays with us until the end of August!

Also, I have delayed the Vital Villa fan interviews until Lambert is officially announced because obviously one of the questions will be about the appointment!

Meanwhile, we have our first bit of Paul Lambert related transfer gossip.

I think the rest of the gossip, (as below) needs to be scrapped now as it won`t relate to this managers plans.

Meanwhile, Neil Moxley at The Daily Mail says Lambert should be in place within the next 24 hours and that 31-year-old Grant Holt is sure to follow.

Neil says Lerner will give Lambert a budget in the region of £10-15million to galvanise the team.

Holt put in a transfer request recently.

He has tweeted recently re: transfer request etc. The third makes little sense to be fair!

'Can I just say the rumours about me and the gaffer falling out are very wrong so no more tweets about that please.'

'Just to stop the rumour mill again. I have expressed to the board and the CEO that I want to leave the football club. Due to disagreements'

'I have loved my 3 years at the club and it sadness me to right this but want use to here it from me first. #lovedmytime'

Holte, who joined Norwich from Shrewsbury for £400 000 in July 2009 scored 15 league and 2 FA Cup goals last season and is apparently seen as a good partner for Darren Bent.

Sunderland have also been linked.

So there you go, the first transfer rumour for our new manager, assuming Lambert does become our new manager!

And all the previous links that I think we can safely scrap now?
