In the NOTW match report of the Barnsley game, they reported that he was left out and is now expected to make an initial loan move somewhere before a permanent move, for a nominal fee, in January.

 

Come on Rupey - he's a local lad who came through our youth system - any chance of using what minimal reserves we have left to bring him home???

I thought he was crap against us last week

 

 

He was decent, and their best player. Without him they are doomed - thankfully. We could use his experience at this level, but Sheff U are better funded atm.

As were the other 19 outfield players on the pitch, but he has been excellent apart from that - particularly against Chelsea and Liverpool last year. He's proved his talent.

Won't go premier league, said he would like to come back to saints. Could happen.

 

Doubt it will happen;lets not forget Sheff Utd are now shopping with the confidence of having a £30m cashfall available to them.Don't see us competing with them in the transfer stakes somehow.

Why is he leaving Barnsley on a virtual free if he is that good? (and he does seem ok to me)

i will believe the 30m when WHU shell out.WHU will play the waiting game and the costs and appeals will wear SheffU down.

His girlfriend is a friend of my son, lives in Totton. I doubt we could afford his wages.

Barnsley do only pay about threepence a week to their players though (Kayodi Odejayi was said to be on about £1,500 per week last season - Howard can't be on much more). I'm sure someone on similar wages far worse than Brian Howard could be offloaded in January, if he wants to come.

 

But why do Barnsley only want a 'nominal fee'? There was paper talk over the summer that Everton were going to pay £5million for Howard. What's happened since then?

The report says he's out of contract at the end of the season. I guess that reduces the fee but I can't believe it'll be that nominal!

Why a nominal fee? he's a class player. Very strange decision, must be on massive wages I guess?

 

He was ****ed off that Barnsley priced him out of a big move in the summer. He's out of contract next summer and won't sign a new deal. Sheff United know this hence £600,000 is the price. The loan deal/signing in Januray is done according to BBC Sheffield. The Barnsley fans weren't surprised or all that fussed as he has done nothing this season.

We all know and hope that all pro footballers play to the best of their ability for themselves, the club and supporters. Maybe the Barnsley support have been going through what we had to put up with over the years watching some of our wantaway players.

I spoke to a couple of Barnsley fans after the game the other week and they said the same. Their exact words where "Too many of our players don't want to play for our fat **** of a manager."

 

Losing Howard will be a big blow to them for sure, just a shame we couldn't get him, he would be perfect for us.

Completely agree with this (good) post but it seems a bit late now (with Jordan arriving - is that our last loan allowed?!)

 

My friend's Dad used to be Brian's manager at tyro level and Howard is exactly the type of experienced, physical player that, I believe, wouldn't cost the earth but would, at the same time, contribute positively to the strength of the squad (especially if we reverted to playing TWO upfront and stopped relying on Mc Goldrick!)

 

In hindsight, he may not be as cheap as some initially anticipated but a valuable asset with our current squad strength, age and depth of experience.

on Shffeild radio the Barnsley fans said they are playing better without Howard and were unlucky not to be 3 or 4 nil up at half time on Saturday. that doesn't sound like a side that wants the manager gone but there will always be sone players not happy.

I think you're allowed up to 5 loanees in a 16 man squad.

That's true, but you can also only have so many loanees in total during a season.

 

I think it may be that you can have up to ten total loan signings in a season, no more than four of whom can be on a short term loan at any one time. At the moment, we have Jack Cork, Romain Gasmi, Thomas Pekhart and Jordan Robertson on short term loan. If we want Brian Howard, we can either take him on a season long loan, or wait until January.

 

Could someone please check on FM to see if the loan rules I've assumed are correct? ;)

BBC latest is £500,000 in January after the initial loan period at Sheff Utd.

 

Go on Rupert,take a gamble reel him in.

 

A complete steal - would be excellent to bring back one of our academy boys. Now, if we can just find the money to bring back Gareth, Theo and Dexter too...
