CONFIRMED Ricky Holmes

[Liaminho9]

Hopefully he wants to link back up with Wilder

 

[GroovyBrad]

Positive signs on this one now then, lets just hope we can come to an agreement on price!

 

[Jonboy]

Where's the "when club XYZ come calling we can't stand in the lads way" line we always use?! I won't be convinced till I see that!!

 

[Teddy]

Let's not get carried away chaps, nothing to indicate that this has anything to do with us as yet.

 

[Jesus_was_a_Blade]

I know it doesn't mention us anywhere in those Tweets, but if we are in the driving seat to get him then at least we're going about it the right way for once.

Letting it be known that we're interested in the player, getting his head turned and leaving Northampton then in a tough position. God knows it's been done to us enough, McDonald, Maguire, Murphy etc. About time we did it to someone else.

Statement on the Northampton club site:

http://www.ntfc.co.uk/news/article/ricky-holmes-hands-in-transfer-request-3143155.aspx

"Chairman Kelvin Thomas said, “We have rejected offers because we don’t want to lose Ricky, however his request is a bit of a game changer and we will continue discussions over the next few days with both Ricky and the club concerned."

So, sounds like there's only the one club involved. Just hope it's us.

He'll go to Peterborough

 

[Dec]

He'll go to Peterborough

Yeah, or Mansfield.

 

[Ricky]

I think Charlton seems a likely destination for him. Down south, they'll have a bit to spend and won't want to miss out to us for another winger.

Peterborough already have Marcus Maddison for the left wing, and Jon Taylor for the right.

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Got to be us surely.

???

Were they in for Duffy?

 

[David Lee's first touch]

Got to be us surely.

Can't be were on holiday

 

[FTPE]

Last night I read that Holmes has told the fans that he'll be there still next season.

Don't ever trust footballers!
.... Or me apparently.

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Best tweet I've read about him from a Northampton fan says: "We havent had many if any direct players like him in recent years though. Been so entertaining to watch."

Direct and positive. Him and Duffy.

Anyone got a fingers crossed emoji?

 

[Fraggle Blade]

Northampton tweets seem to think that Leeds are the club after him.

 

[Kentface]

Looks like he handed in a transfer request....

 

[Blade58]

Let's hope he owes CW a debt of gratitude for turning his career around and loves playing under him

I see that as the only way we'll get him to the Lane, as there appears to be a number of Championship clubs interested and I can't see what Duffy did when choosing us repeating itself somehow

What?

 

[Reedy1889]

What?

self-explanatory really

✌☝ erm no!

Got to be a big shout for anyone to go to Bellend Road at the moment--players, managers, tea-ladies, anyone really--no matter what money is on offer ?

[judge]

Never thought I'd see the day when top players like Ricky Hulmes are being linked to my tinpot club

BBC Northampton reporting that it is Charlton who have had a formal bid rejected by Northampton

Charlton have had 2 bids rejected from Northampton. Holmes could move there as it's only 40 miles from his home town of Rochester.
