Only played a friendly for Paraguay, which doesn't exclude him from switching his allegiance. Think Diego Costa.
It's looking quite likely that WD Sport and the Wobby have just been given two fingers by the club, but have still tried to wring a story out of it.
Well the latest from a playing side is he was in the starting line up for this afternoon's Coppa Italia match against second division Spezia. He was subbed after 60 minutes and Roma went on to lose on penalties. Roma are sh!t.
I'd like to see what he's like when the other side have the ball, but you can't expect that from a 5-minute highlights package.
I'm having trouble processing the fact that we're 7th in the Prem and being seriously linked with a wonderkid who was compared with Messi only 12 months ago. It's surreal.
Sadly it's just a dream. When you wake up you will remember that we are a struggling Championship club, playing in a 3 sided ground owned by someone else. Big Chris is our top goal scorer with 4 goals.
It's so surreal that part of me wants to complain to someone. It seems unfair, somehow. The authorities need to be told that Watford are cheating.
Loved them both , especially Ricky Holden , but i dont think anyone could ever describe them as quick?! Adam Johnson?
It's true. The level of player we can pay a million pounds to sit on the bench as an unused substitute is leaping ahead.
All this "Ricky" Holden nonsense. Please it's RICK Holden. I wonder if any of you have ever even been to the Vic :]] How times have changed; "Holden signed a four-year contract with the Hornets, upping his weekly wage to £450, with a £50 appearance bonus. His signing-on fee was £10,000, split into three instalments, and he also received a £2,000-per-year loyalty bonus." Blimey just remembered Stuart Rimmer scoring at Chelsea on his debut...
The fact that Mr Turbo has been compared with Messi is nothing. I too have been compared with Messi. He was considered to be better than me. In fact my wife is constantly accusing me of actually being him.
RICK Holden was the only Watford player i know , who could cross the ball so well without any room or run up , quality player
I loved Rick Holden, his goal celebrations were legendary, I remember him going on a lap of honour when he didn't even score.
Yes at first glance looked a ramshackle player with no real turn of pace, seemed a bit ponderous and lacking in natural skill/ability ......but boy could he run and ping in a great cross ! One of the most productive/creative wingers I can remember and wasn't surprised after we let him go to see him have a great career with Oldham in the top flight and Man City. If I remember correctly he was battling with Hodges for a starting place, Hodges won out, Holden left, Hodges got player of the season and then buggered off himself....or something like that.
I rated both of them , hodges could take a direct free kick an half , lazy lazy git though ,for a winger
If you could combine Hodges crossing ability and skill on the ball with Anya's pace and workrate, the result would be a world class player.
Or just bring back Nigel Callaghan (though I'll admit he's put on a bit of weight since he last played for us).
He was, but he had the frustrating habit of beating three men in his own half, and then, when he got clear, passing back to the right-back.
He was a character by the sounds of it. My brother met him in a pub and he said he was having 'eight pints of s*****r and then home t'dragon'. I presume s*****r was his name for a type of beer* and t'dragon referred to his good lady. Not a modern man you'd think? * I am a deep disappointment to both my siblings as I do not consume vast quantities of alcohol at any given moment. Good player. Liked Hodges too,but he was very lazy!
