Ricky Holmes rumours

Rumours are circulating on the internet, including from Sheffield United sources, that the Blades have signed Ricky Holmes for £700,000.

I cannot find any authoritative confirmation of these rumours, but they may still be true. Supremo Karl Robinson has not concluded contract talks with Holmes.

Supremo Robinson has firmly stated that Holmes is not for sale and he has never been so excited about a new season. The club is looking at four goal keepers: Excitement

In a new interview Robinson has reiterated his desire to keep hold of Holmes, regardless of press reports from Sheffield: Robinson's reaction

VOTV editor Rick Everitt has tweeted that one problem may be that Holmes may realise that his new contract offer would still see him paid less than failed signings such as Naby Sarr.
