It would appear, according to the German paper BILD, that Hamburg have triggered a release clause and are to pay £5 million for his services.

Thought they already had.

 

[chrissivad]

it was announced a while back, but it will depend if Holtby wants to join them.

Guess it depends in Pochettino has him in his plans or not

Hamburg are in the drop zone. He got relegated with Fulham last term Maybe he is getting fed up with playing for poor teams!

Nothing new. See nothing about it on Hamburg boards, so if it had been announced or even near to it, they'd be discussing it.

In fact, they're discussing all sorts of rumors atm, and there's not a thing about Holtby.

Near it, but they're not in it. The entire bottom half of the Bunde table is separated by all of four points, and Hamburg are smack dab in the middle.

I've spoken to the guy who wrote the article on Twitter and it turns out it's a 3 month old article.

You do realise I missed an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants over this?

I still view him as a better fit in this system than a handful of our players we currently are utilizing (to some extent).

Me too. That's why I was surprised we loaned him out. His skill set seemed to match with what Poch was looking for.

Either as an Eriksen backup or a German Ryan Mason.

Would have Lewis in front of bentaleb any day in terms of going forward imo he just needs to feel loved

 

[kernowspurscoach1977]

I read somewhere that holtby is constantly pissing about In training and warm ups etc. maybe his attitude is the issue and not his skill set

 

[samsonlevi]

Would have been useful in a number of games this season

I was thinking the other day just how much I wish we had Carrol and Holtby as cover for Mason and Eriksen.

Lewis and Carroll and I am in wonderland.

Never rated him
