I know it was a long time ago but he was class for us. If he's still at the level he'd add creativty and attacking verve.
Thoughts?
All depends on wages but i'd have him back in a heart beat.

Spot on - great character - works hard for the team- . If fit would be a good addition to the squad
Do we really reckon he's better than current options in MF? I think there's a good balance and depth to our MF lot at the moment.
Wasn't overly impressed with him last time and he's got to be 30 now?

29. Hes a hard worker, good attitude and would definitely add another dimension to our team/squad. I like him and as said, pending wages, i'd have him back.
I like him and rated him, but with Reed, Reid, SteffJo, Arter, TC, KMac and the other youngsters I really don't see the space for him.
Hard to know how good he really was/is. When with us it was under Mad Felix, with whom he (allegedly) was not on good terms. If he's now reported as being in talks with Blackburn, with due respect to them, that's hardly setting very high sights.

Signed by Mulensteen I fancy, he was very good indeed until Magath came on the scene, played him out of position and Holtby then faded from the scene.
If everything so positive why is he available on a free at this time of season?

Totally agree, you beat me to the post.
He's been out of contract since June.

Could be numerous reasons, for example he may have not wanted to renew.
Now signed for Blackburn, confirmed
Very good signing for them

Quality player well done mowbray.
You have to ask yourself "Why is he on a free??" if he was still that good
Based on what I saw of him I would have welcomed him back. Even if only for squad depth.
Mobray is an astute manager, but I wouldn't swap Holtby for either Arter or Reed.
