Looks nailed on, Howard was dropped yesterday and sat in the executive boxes, in my opnion he has been a shadow of the player that he was last season since he didnt get the big premiership move he always wanted. I think he could have been disruptive to other players recently as well and as all tarn fans know Davey doesnt stand for this at all.

If you can keep him happy and keep him out of the pub when he shouldnt be there then you might have a decent squad player.
 
howard

great victory saturday,in terms of points on the board & a goal for Beattie
but still doesn't hide the fact that we avnt ad a central midfielder capable of bossing a game since michael brown & stuart mcCall..
Don't think Howard is prem class but when motivated is an excellent championship player and worth a punt..
Then look for sumfin in jan when we hopefully will be able to attract decent players cos we will be in the top six and in with a chance of promo..
 
further rumours now are that there is a blade going the other way.
 
There were rumours in The Lion that a United player would be leaving on Monday.
 
Names I've heard are Keef, Carney, Webber or Morgan. Hope it's one of the first two, as I don't think we have enough strikers or central defenders to cover should one of them leave.

Don't think we'd have risked Webber getting injured if it was and like you say, we are low on numbers in those areas.
 
Rumours are that Brum are also after Howard.

Maybe that's why Monty was on the bench after having in some eyes MOTM performances (like Blackie says play well and keep the shirt) then again Coterill didn't make the bench.

Cotterill was less puzzling than Monty. He's played bobbins and a physical game isn't necessarily going to suit him.

As for why Monty was dropped, I should imagine Foxy will be able to find out...
 
RS said that we expect to complete the signing today...
 
Statement from dingles

barnsley fc os said:
during the last close season, brian howard through his representatives made it clear that after a successful season personally, he felt it was the right time in his career to move on to a new challenge.
of course, the club was keen to retain the services of its captain who has been a fans' favourite since his arrival on a free transfer from swindon. The club has been prepared at all times to offer new contract terms to brian to keep him with the reds but his representatives have declined that opportunity.
On monday september 22, 2008, the board of barnsley fc met with brian howard and his representatives.patrick cryne and manager simon davey were also in attendance. Brian confirmed directly to the parties present that he wished to leave the club and did not wish to discuss a new contract with the reds.
As a consequence the board resolved that, in the interests of all parties, brian howard would be allowed to leave the club at the earliest opportunity, subject to barnsley fc receiving compensation.
Further statements will be made as appropriate

i thought it was going to be a sign with howard on it then
but good old sf, never lets me down :)
 
United are poised to complete the loan signing of Barnsley captain Brian Howard.

Both clubs dampened down speculation that the deal was imminent over the weekend but Kevin Blackwell broke the silence on Monday afternoon:

"We have agreed a deal with Barnsley and the player and he will shortly be having his medical. If that goes satisfactorily, he will sign a three-month loan deal with an agreed deal at the end of that period."

Kevin added: "Brian brings goals. Every team needs extra fire power and you certainly need that in this division. If the source of goals dries up in one area, you need it from another. There has been a lot of responsibility on Gary Speed at both ends of the pitch but Brian has a goal in him, he will help us in that department."

Howard, of course, scored the late winner that dumped Liverpool out of last season's FA Cup and played an instrumental role as the Tykes progressed to the semi-finals of the competition.

The midfielder, 25, began his career with Southampton and was also at Swindon Town before arriving at Oakwell in 2005.

In addition, Kiki Musampa and Quinton Fortune began their trial spells at Shirecliffe on Monday.

Assistant manager Sam Ellis said: "They took part in a practice match this morning and will train with the development squad on Tuesday. Later in the week they will join up with the first team for training and then we will make an assessment."

Ellis also confirmed that the two Spanish triallists have yet to arrive, explaining that a problem in communication had delayed their trial period.
