This is just hilarious. I was thinking we might struggle to recoup 10% of his wages at a league 1 or 2 club. Never thought someone higher up the pyramid would take him off us!

In fairness to Villa they've already got 3 strikers who can run. Clearly he feels they need one who can't. And he's worked with him before ... so he is absolutely sure he can''t run.
But maybe the less said on ehre the better. Lambert might get cold feet.

From what we've seen of him at Latics it seems astounding that a club in the top flight would have any interest in him, even if it is as a back up striker.
That said, Grant Holt was a bit of a lower division journeyman until Paul Lambert got hold of him at Norwich (albeit one with a decent enough scoring record) - so Lambert quite clearly knows how to get the best out of him, play to his strengths and uses a system of play that suits him.
His 2 manager's at Latics have either had no idea how to use him effectively (Coyle) or use a system that they are well aware doesn't suit him.
Best to cut our losses - the move hasn't worked for latics & it hasn't worked for him. Looking at it from latics perspective they get some of the transfer fee back & lose one of the high earners off the wage bill. It frees up a squad place, boosts the transfer kitty & gives Rosler more leeway in terms of the quality of replacement he can bring in (either permanently or on loan)

We are all impressed on the West Brom board that Holt has gone to Villa. He will fit in well there
