Here's how Norwich City fans reacted to the Grant Holt news on twitter.
@thereisalight88
Shellshocked
@manno_88
Absolutely devastated and truly shocked!
@Katie__Ncfc
Gutted: people say Arsenal
Donttalksquit
Sick, that's how I feel!
@gordo52
Freaking gutted at the moment, it's starting to go all wrong
@speech_uk
Shocked. Stunned. Numb. And other similar words... #ncfc
@mark1603
I'm staggered. Biggest shock I've known as a City fan. Gut says this is the agent trying to up his money perhaps?
@AndyArmsby
Seriously just give him what he wants! Never thought #ncfc fans would ever have negative memories of him
@JayEastoe
Possibly searching for a larger wage? Strange one though and very unexpected.
@wmjlee
Sick
@cheesy290892
Gutted, but at the same time understandable from the big man, wants to play for a bigger club and earn more money I suspect
@soulwaxer
Just feels like Norwich are back. Always had to sell to survive, but had nobody worth selling for many years.
@Leveridge96
Shocked but if he is not happy here, he doesn't have to stay here
@Bobandbronwyn
Right cheesed off actually. However, he has been so good for us, I'll forgive him anything. #foreverholt
@canaries92
Worried, #Citylegend Anyone know what on earth's going on?! #NCFC #HoltStayPlz!
@pottsy_16
I don't think he actually wants to leave... Surely not!? Agent fancies a nice cheque maybe?
@AlexB_Bacon
I can see the appeal for him of one last big contract at a club up north. It's sad, but that's football.
@JamesStarling1
Presume it's family related. If not I feel like we've been stabbed in the back a bit after all the love we have given him
@crunchcrumble
Gutted but it could be his last chance for a big contract elsewhere. He has to think of his young family and future.
@mattsmilergunns
In Lambert we trust, what ever happens it's ok as long as Lambert stays. Obviously shocked none the less.
@StephenOrange
Knocked me for six. Totally gutted if it's true.
@dianencfcfan
Bit strange, he only signed a new contract last summer so guess until we find out his reasons it's hard to comment
@sjpodd
If it's true, we would have to understand the reasons first before we criticised, sad news if true as a Norwich fan.
@mdarrell591
I'd be gutted. Thought Holty loved it here. He's hero, best striker we have had. Come on Grant u can't leave us
@kentcanary
Who invented football agents, if that's what's behind this !! ?? True, in Grant's position I'd be hacked off re England
@joolians
I feel that Holt's actions should be respected whatever he decides to do. If he goes I hope we can get a decent price.
@edd_hind
I feel like my girlfriend has cheated on me with Fabian Wilnis.
@alwatts87
That's football at the end of the day. He'll always be a hero but next season there will be another one.
@therealtomhigh
Like a dog that's lost it's owner, a baby without its mother, fish without the chips. #LostAndAlone
@1515barney
Gutted. But if he wants away let him go.
@valtolhurst
Like I'm 15 and just got dumped all over again!! Whatever happens though, the guy is an NCFC legend!
@ncfcmegson
Wait and see. If he genuinely wants to leave the club, let him. If he wants a better deal, see what we can do.
@delboycanary
I think its a way for his agent to get him a well deserved pay rise !!
@Carlostomy
Shocked and stunned! Reaction to the other out goings or no England call up? Does he know something we don't? Other reasons?
@Ruskin92
Gutted yes, angry no. He's done a lot for us, just sheer disappointment. Nobody is bigger than the club.
@ruperthinde
Grant Holt has been massive for Norwich and Norwich have been massive for Grant Holt. Marriage made in heaven
@mattwalka
Got to think manager is probably out too. I put it down to club wiping debt giving Paul limited funds. Lack of ambition?
@stani0904
Either Holt wants more money or Lambert going to Villa is a key
@chrisdelahunty
Transfer request normally means agent has been approached. I suspect Newcastle want him.
@Luth4
Don't quite understand why? Be good to hear from Holty and not SSN!
