Great to see Rob Holding play his part in a tough victory over Man City, he didn't look out of place did he? It just makes it all the more annoying knowing we've probably given the country our two best defenders for a combined £9.5 million and you've got the likes of Aston Villa paying that for Ross McCormack (who doesn't like training apparently)

Yes, watched the match, and as you say, he did not look out of place, moving past players with the ball out of defense leaving city players behind, I thought he had a good game hope we are getting these add-on that were promised on his sale to Arsenal.

No doubt in my mind that Rob will very soon be in the full England squad and performances like yesterday will only aid that. Hopefully that's when the bigger add on payments will come in and help our strengthening for next season in the Championship???

Heaven knows we'll need the cash if we're going to be hit by the FA for invading the pitch!!!

Anyone any idea at all what all the add on means to us? We had five years assuming a Chelsea loanee would be mandatory for us after the Cahill deal? Was all rumours in the end.
Be nice to know if we will ever get anything. If it's down to Arsneal winning the league then think we've had our lot

I can't see it being anything actually linked to Arsenal OM, much more likely to be linked to the lad himself and his progress. It's anybody's guess I suppose since we're not party to the details but I would certainly think a set number of first team games or England call up would be highly likely as well as a share of any potential sell on fee. Still, whatever it is as long as Rob keeps progressing it should keep money coming in at some point.

Odd way to do a deal to say the least.
I don't know why there is so much undisclosed information regarding transfers. It opens the gates for corruption.

Am I wrong on thinking that Gael Kakuta was part of the deal??

At the time it was my belief that Kakuta was completely independent of the deal and we still had an option. Later told there was never such deal.
Kakuta, Weiss, Miyaichi? Would have banked on all of them to come and improve us. Few flashes in all 3 but ultimately very disappointing.

Arsenal fans singing "Super Robbie Holding" for about 10 minutes at the end of the match just now.
Unbelievable to think that the FA Cup final with have 3 Ex-wanderer defenders on the field. Shockingly in a time when John Stones cost £50m we are looking at £10M for all all three.
Let's hope Southgate is there and heard the chants. Looking at how good Cahill has been he may opt for the Chelsea 3 at the back system. If he does I think Holding is well in line for a first cap, which I hear will be a winfall for us! I can definitely see Stones, Cahill and Holding with Walker and Rose.
Well done Cahill and Alonso on the league win they have had great seasons and Rob Holding is ending this season as the in form player.

We must have had a good scout back in 2003 and he must have lived in Tameside as Rob Holding and Zac Clough both heralded from there. Shame Andy Kellett didn't really do it for his home town club Who's next off our production line giveaway I wonder??

The only thing I would say is that the money allowed us to bring Wheater back.
In fairness I couldn't hand on heart say that I knew Holding would be able to make the grade at the top, top level and in January I was convinced he would be sent to a championship team.
He's keeping Gabriel back out and has probably seen off metersacker too.
In the papers they linked Marcus Alonso to a move to Barca? Can't see it because of his links with Madrid. Do wonder if we did enought to keep him?
