Danny Holmes

[Rockford's Love Child]

Has signed a new deal today which will keep him at his home town club until summer 2015.

Great news. We just need Zoum, Fonners and the rest to follow suit now.....

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

That's great news. I thought he wanted away last summer so was just running down his contract. What I want to know is how have we persuaded him to commit. Given we have such a small budget, I presume he could have got a lot more elsewhere. Obviously, it's not just a matter of money for the likes of Danny.

I don't think he ever wanted to leave to be honest. Most of the rumours regarding Championship / Premier League clubs were just nonsense put about by his agent.

To me it is not really a surprise he has signed. He is living the dream playing for the club he supports, and a sideways move to another League One side would not appeal when he could be playing Championship football with us next season. I think he would be unlikely to get a move to a higher level in the summer other than with ourselves.

If I'm honest, he's been a lot better than I ever thought he was going to be when we signed him back from TNS. Good solid performer who rarely puts a foot wrong.

Although I agree with RLC I wouldn't imagine there would be a host of clubs after his signature. I'm pleased he's signed.

Great news, if Holmes can add a bit more attacking play to his game he could easily be a Championship full back.

 

[merseysidebossman]

made up he has signed

I did hear a rumour he sacked his agent

Don't agree. I think he's a decent player but no better than that.

 

[SonkORLY?]

For someone who is still new to this level and only just turned 24 I think he's great. Really nice to have a proper TRFC fan in the starting line-up too.

I think he can definitely play at Championship level, I just don't think he is someone who would be noticed by scouts from a higher division in the way that Wallace, Zoum, Akpro etc. would.

I doubt he had many better offers than the one from Rovers but would certainly stay in the first eleven if we did go up.
