Pretty clear, and obvious I guess from the timing, that these are not players Holden has chosen to be on his list. So whether they are going to fit into his style of play will be a lottery.

He said in his interview that he has known Todd Kane for long time
Good luck to Bonne and Kane, I hope they prove to be good signings. My initial concern is that we are again signing ‘free’ players, after all the takeover hype I just hope this is not another window on the cheap.

Really ? You don’t think he’s had any say in it ? Let’s try and be a bit more optimistic eh ?
Yeah right Holden has been after Bonne for years. I doubt he's even heard of him until now
To be honest I’m not too sure many managers get complete control of transfers these days. I’m sure Holden was involved and had a voice in the decisions.
Can't get use to Holden being our manager & still see him as a stop gap - just here to keep us up & then gone in the summer.
Even if he does end up leaving in May, he'll have been in charge for more league games than Garner was. And about just as many games as Adkins or Jackson was in charge.
That probably says more about the trigger happy nature / poor up front decision making of our owner rather than the six month contract. But still context worth sharing...

I know his family live along way away in Salford but it would be interesting to know if he would relocate / stay if that becomes an option.
Definitely think he likes the club & is enjoying the challenge to turn things around (plus surely new owners would look to keep him if he brings the results).
Lets wait and see, if I had a pound for every comment on here from people quoting this and that player saying they are "too good for this league", "my xxxxxx supporting mate says he is a great buy", "the geezer will take the piss in this league" etc etc I would be a rich man.

Well, because he has not been here long enough to work out for himself who should stay or go, nor has he been here long enough to identify the right players from outside that he would need to replace those who do go, nor has he said these are players he has wanted playing for him, nor are they players he knows from other clubs. Its a list put together before he got here. He seems just to be having a phone chat to introduce himself for form's sake and then the deals are done. Pot luck.
Heard good things about Kane from QPR & Oxford fans.
Real gutsy full back who gets stuck in.
Both said he would be playing at a higher level if it wasn’t for his past ACL / knee injury problems. Hopefully he can stay fit and show us what he can do.
Now we know why he's here, to take JFC's place with the physio.

I completely agree but when you way up the options, I think Holden would rather say yes to Bonne now then be left hanging further in the month, and I wouldn’t put him in the yes man category.

Do you think out of work football managers who are actively looking for a job just sit watching homes under the hammer all day?
I would suggest out of work managers have a better idea of what players they would like to sign than working ones who end up completely consumed with the grind of saturday-tuesday-saturday. They have a good idea of what sort of level they will end up at and the list of available players isn't infinite.

Holden was assistant manager at Bristol City from 2016 until 2020, including the evening where Bonne scored against them.
Of course he's aware of him, he'll have been aware of him since at least 2019.
