Bradford City are one of a number of clubs to have made a loan approach for Blues keeper Tomas Holy, TWTD understands.

Football Insider was first to report the Bantams’ interest in the 30-year-old keeper but we understand several other clubs have also made contact with Town regarding the Czech’s availability on loan for the rest of the season with discussions ongoing.

Holy, who is out of contract in the summer, is currently the Blues’ third-choice keeper behind Christian Walton and Vaclav Hladky and in October spent a seven-day emergency spell on loan at Cambridge United. His departure during January would come as no surprise.

Meanwhile, Town are continuing talks with Bristol City regarding the loan of midfielder Tyreeq Bakinson. While initially a loan, the move would be with a view to a permanent switch.

Bert added 12:50 - Jan 20 Nice bloke, loves the club but inconsistency of judgement in a goalkeeper is what has kept him at number three.A loan move with a recall would probably be a good outcome for all.

istanblue added 13:00 - Jan 20 Why loan him out if he's going to be released in the summer? Sell him now and try and get a fee.

BlueandTruesince82 added 13:04 - Jan 20 Perhaps because clubs can't afford him and happy to wait until he's out of contract in the summer? If he can go on loan and free up some more room for wages then it's good all round.

OwainG1992 added 13:19 - Jan 20 I saw that as Brentford at first and did a double take. He'd be a more than capable keeper for them. End of the day you put him in an aspiring league 2 team he will look decent.

EricGatesShinpad added 13:52 - Jan 20 A real shame as others have said. Seems very committed to the club and a decent bloke. The problem is he doesn't seem to take advantage of his natural advantages..... He is a big bloke, should command the box and cover the goal....he seems to constantly be back on his heels and thefore not a great shot stopper.... Good luck, Bonne chance !

Ipswichbusiness added 16:02 - Jan 20 I wish him all the best wherever he lands up; being third choice here isn't good for him or us.

heathen66 added 17:51 - Jan 20 I certainly rate Holy above Hladky. Unfortunately played most of his Town games behind a very charitable defence. Certainly would not want to stay if he is deemed 3rd choice Good luck to him an whatever comes next in his career, and Thanks !!
