[cite]Posted By: golfaddick[/cite]according to BBC sport he is now not going to The Blades as Barnsley have had another bid in for him......... us perhaps????
Good player but he couldn't play until jan. What's his contract status?
Good player I think and would add to our team. Could be brought in on loan I believe and then signed permanently in Jan, so could play. Not sure we have budget for another midfielder at the mo though although I know Pards rates him and it might be a prelude to ZiZi moving on in Jan.
I like him, wouldn't say no. I suppose there is a chance we could offload say Ambrose on the same basis, loan with perm move in Jan, esp as he is out of contract in June and must be one of the higher earners seeing as he was a PL player when signed. More likely he's off to Brum though.
born in Winchester, probably wants to join a club with a chance of promotion. Interesting though seeing as centre mid is a position in which we are pretty well covered, Holland, Bailey, ZZ, Semedo, Racon, Shelvey etc.

Not last night we werent. Bailey and Holland were utterly outplayed by Derry and Watson. Thats where the game was won and lost because it allowed them a platform we just didnt have.

Assess our midfield though and what have we really got besides Bailey.
Holland - too old. Can't do it every week now.
ZZ - from a rumour i heard last night, he won't be here after January.
Semedo - not a creative midfielder
Racon - injured
Shelvey - too young and inexperienced to perform every week, he'd burn out.

point taken re last night but from what we have we can find a decent enough combination, Semedo and Bailey, Bailey and ZZ, Semedo and ZZ, Bailey and Shelvey etc. The only reason I can see us signing Howard is if another one is on the way out.
He's not done anything good for a long time. Looked fat last time I saw him.
Would not improve our midfield at all
Agree with that. Used to be a quality midfielder and remember him scoring against liverpool at anfield in the cup. Gone down hill over the last year or 2

Cos without him they'd have really struggled!
How many point above us are they? Uncatchable!
We were 3rd after 8 games last season
Brian Howard
What the player wants, the player gets.
Maybe, his partner/wife won't go south.

Think you've got the wrong Howard. This is Brian Howard (Reading, ex-Barnsley) not Steve Howard at Leicester.
