I like him but, for me, we have: Eriksen, Lamela, Chadli, Kane, Townsend, Lennon and Holtby for 3 positions. That is at least 1 too many and that is before we consider that we are also in the market for someone like J-Rod and we have some promising youngsters coming through.
I like Holtby, brings a lot of energy and, every now and again, will play the most incredible through balls but I feel his chargng around compensatea from a lack of genuine ability for me.
One of Lenny, Townsend and Holtby needs to leave IMO and I like/ dislike all of them in equal measure...
Would wish him well but can't see him ever being a regular for us
Holtby is not competeting dircetly with either of Lamela, Chadli, Kane, Lennon or Townsend for a place in the team. He is a CMF, and his most direct "competitiors" are Dembele, Paulinho, Bentaleb and Ryan Mason
