Rob Holding: I'm Sorry He Didn't Cost £55 Million

[TakeChillPill]

What’s he doing awake at 2am playing Wonderwall on his guitar?

Shock scandal.

For reference:

Jack is DM Saka, now hanging out with Rob. He clearly wants to com to arsenal. We should break the bank for him next season.

Could be like a Bergkemp esqe signing. He's currently easily th best play maker in the league above KDB and Portuguese guy at utd.

I was more surprised that Saka was watching that IG live video and participating in the chat. Seems a bit young to even know what that song is(?) or is it like an unofficial national anthem across the pond for you guys?

Hmm...I suspect Steve Bould's skills on the guitar leaves something to be desired. Probably more of a drummer.

Taking up the guitar is a wholesome hobby.

No real issue with this as long as they don’t give him silly wages. He’s a decent backup for RCB. He shouldn’t be starting though.

 

[bingobob]

He has been solid and deserves the contract.

 

[Macho]

He’s been a steady hand which has been a big deal for us this season.

If we were better at the other end I’m certain he would be celebrated more. As bad as we are, we actually don’t concede too many - pretty sure Villa off the top of my head was as bad as it got.

Every contract extension seems scary for us nowadays so I’m indifferent - I don’t hate the idea of it though.

Apparently he’s on 25k.

Offer him 40k tie him down. He’s 25 now, Probably hasn’t even peaked yet. He’ll get better still.

No problem with this but he should be relegated to 3rd/4th choice ideally

 

[AberGooner]

Would be happy to get Holding tied down as I'm sure he wouldn't be on crazy wages after a renewal plus he's counts as homegrown. He's never going to be Tony Adams but he's solid and dependable.

This is the guy we couldn't sell and had to settle for almost loaning to Newcastle, right? This club loves pulling an El-Nenny, Arteta learnt from the best alright.

Midtable mediocrity. Worst possible start to 2021. New nickname 'Club promoter' as he encourages everybody into the VIP box by running back to his own area instead of pressing.

Chambers will die over this. Saliba had better not.

The problem with clubs they quickly offer deals after good few months they'll offer laca new deal if he keep scoring form too lol.


My opinion for holding that he should be backup similar to Mari and Saliba Gabriel should be starting his form been good but his contract still have 2 years and half so I'll wait until summer

 

[truth_hurts]

At least he can buy a wig with his pay rise. I will never forgot December 2020: Arsenal in a relegation scrap with Knob Holding as captain. Poverty.

 

[al-Ustaadh]

What's important here is that he had hair at the time.

 

[OSBK]

I do have a problem with this. Why would we want a 3rd or 4th choice cb on 40k a week that is not going to challenge the first choice cb. We need players who will challenge the first 11 everyday, we dont need players who will happily sit there and pick up a wage.

If we resign him it has to be on the terms he will improve enough to be a starter every week.

 

[bingobob]

I think Holding has been playing well. He was coming good during the last few months of Wengers era and has been blighted by injuries since then. I think I heard the commentator say this is the longest run of games he has had since joining?

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Deserved, he's been one of our most solid performers over the past year or so. I know the bar is low but he's still done well and still very young for a CB.

He has been a starter every week and we've the 5th best defence in the league. He has been a key part of that.
