Matty Staying a Tractor Boy

Last updated : 23 August 2002 By Mike Robins
After much speculation about the future of matty Holland, and various big money deals to tempt him away from Portman Road, it seems that the latest deal, a £4m move to Aston Villa, has been rejected even though the Clubs agreed a fee.

The stumbling block was over personal terms which the Midland giants were not going to succumb to. As a result the deal fell through and Matty remains in Suffolk.

The collapse also means that AFC Bournemouth miss out on a mouth watering £925,000 which would have been a huge boost as CherryShare gets in to full swing - the Clubs attempt to prevent the Sale and Lease going ahead.

Is Matty going to be our new Jamie Redknapp - always nearly going, but never actually going (for any money at least)?
