England Under-21s international leaves Wanderers after breakthrough season at Macron Stadium
Rob Holding has joined Premier League side Arsenal for an undisclosed fee.
The England Under-21s international departs Macron Stadium having broken into the Whites’ first team last season after progressing through the ranks of the club’s youth academy.
Joining the club at the age of eight, the versatile defender was handed his Bolton debut against Burton Albion in August 2015 before establishing himself as a virtual ever-present for the Trotters during the second half of the campaign.
Finishing the year with 30 appearances to his name, scoring one goal in Wanderers’ victory against MK Dons in January 2016, the 20-year-old’s performances saw him win the Whites’ Player of the Year award.
Also catching the eye of England Under-21s manager Gareth Southgate in the process, Holding was handed his maiden young Lions call-up for the Toulon Tournament earlier this summer and made two appearances as England went on to win the competition.
Everyone at Bolton Wanderers would like to thank Rob for his efforts during his time with the club, and wish him well in his future career.

He won't be missed. Will forever be remembered for that "tackle" that cost us the game against Reading.

When I think back to the optimism about "rebuilding our team with youth" that was knocking about until everyone realised we are stuck with the has-beens, it saddens me, especially to see the clubs' Player of the Year being sold after spending the majority of his life in our youth system.
Parky's looking at a bunch of 30+ aged triallists and somehow I can't help thinking that at least one of the kids we've released would be the one who makes it worthwhile investing in so many for so long - and that we won't reap the reward for our persistence and investment as per usual.

You're like LPPs little boy...
Holding was always going to leave once a club like Arsenal showed interest, surprised it took so long, at least the new owners got a decent few upfront with hefty add on and sell on fees included.
We're league one pal, get used to seeing the best players leave. We'd have struggled to keep Holding even if we were a prem side..
We still have Clough, who I doubt the owners will let go unless a huge fee comes in. Hopefully the holding money will be reinvested but I think Beevers will be a competent replacement

I understand your feelings but the fact is he had a year to go on his contract so we were over a barrel. You can't deny him wanting to better himself although the wisdom of him doing that at Arsenal is debatable IMO.wanderlust wrote:When I think back to the optimism about "rebuilding our team with youth" that was knocking about until everyone realised we are stuck with the has-beens, it saddens me, especially to see the clubs' Player of the Year being sold after spending the majority of his life in our youth system.

It would have been a gamble for us not to sell because if he doesn't make real progress this season we could have been left with a tribunal ruling worth very little now and in the future.
I also believe him going to Arsenal could work against us significantly as bonuses will be based on appearances and sell on, so if he goes onto the Arsenal loan wagon and then slides out of the club later our bonuses could be negligible.

I'm not questioning the economics of it, or our current position. Just saying it's a shame we have to lose prospects like Holding when we are forced to keep lesser players on massive wages.Boggersbelief wrote:wanderlust wrote:When I think back to the optimism about "rebuilding our team with youth" that was knocking about until everyone realised we are stuck with the has-beens, it saddens me, especially to see the clubs' Player of the Year being sold after spending the majority of his life in our youth system.
