Former Spurs star Lewis Holtby 'opens talks' with Cardiff City
https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/...wsApp_AppShare
I reported this on Monday
Apparently he was down the club to have a look around last week
Would be a great signing if we pulled this off.
Can see him going to the PL mind.
Gosh yes that would be a great signing, hopefully , unless his talent has wained ?
Fantastic signing if it came off, but looking at previous transfers I really can’t see it
I’ll stick my neck out and say I think it’s in the bag
Seems to be linked with a couple of Turkish clubs and a couple of clubs in Germany
Headlines when he signs. HOLTBY CITY
Not being funny like but is he any good - what type of player? :shrug:
this type of player:

can pick a pass - probably won't get him now

He used to be good. Not sure if that is still true. Isn't he an attacking midfielder, though - a No 8?
Not being a follower of German 2nd Division football (there will be someone on here who is) my guess is that he is now looking for his big pay day whilst still the right side of 30.
I doubt we will be offering that - although a bit of quality (if still there) in midfield would be a good thing.
His stats for the last couple of years don't have that much attacking output, but he makes a lot of tackles
You've done a good job in summing up the doubts I've always had about this rumour there Jon. Holtby's early career marked him out as something special, but it was on a downward trajectory when he scored for Fulham (who were just about the worst side I saw us play in 13/14) in their Premier League defeat here in March 2014 and it has, if anything, got steeper since then - take away all that early publicity and our pursuance of him would look very odd given his age and the wages he'd be likely to cost us.
