Holtby was pure garbageLewis Holtby still could have been a very useful squad player under Poch for a year or two, we always lacked depth in midfield in that period too.
I’m absolutely sure that he wouldn’t have gone clattering in the way he did had he been staying. He loved Spurs a lot and us fans. He so wanted to go off in a blaze of glory by winning the cup on the pitch with us, rather than sitting in a hospital bed in pieces. How badly it turned out for him that day. For all his faults I will always have a soft spot for the crazy bastard and wonder how things may have turned out had we not been in a situation where we had to sell him. The bloke was a bloody genius on the pitch.And cost us a goal in a cup final.
That for me is the saddest part of all. A wonderful footballer who was getting better and better. Sold when he would have been happy to stay, trying too damn hard to make sure his last game would end gloriously for him and us fans. Whilst he went on to have a great career, I think things would have been better for him had he been given longer at THFCAnd he has always said he was happiest when with us.
