Has Brian Howard Actually Gone?

[Macfarlane21]

Ive checked official site and ssn and neither say anything about Howard going to Reading on loan. Has the deal been officially announced or is it pending?

 

[Vistoma]

not on the Reading os yet either

 

[Darren]

This site is saying he has signed on a season long loan

http://www.reading.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=168780.

But the lack of any official confirmation is interesting. There wouldn't seem any reason for United or Reading not to publicise it if it was connected with the Harper deal, so maybe it hasn't gone through.

Perhaps the delay is in the paperwork for howards deal.

Maybe it will be announced when the loan market opens?

 

[Radioblade]

how would you know - you can't see him!

That is the best post since I joined this site

The official news is a relief, no more will we have to deal with his stupid bloody fouls which more often than not was the only thing he contributed to games.

I, along with many Blades I'd expect, thought we'd secured that elusive creative midfielder when he signed but he's proved to be a major dud. If the midfield was bypassed at times last season, it's because a key part of it went missing for the most part. I fully expect him to do sod all at Reading, too slow, too fat and frankly not good enough.

Inbedded in the first team?
Promotion with Reading?

It looks like the Reading OS is more rose tinted than our own site

Who knows how he might have done if Blackwell had given him a real chance?

Sorry, someone was bound to say it.

He should have 'Bossed' that midfield though, with his experience and ability.......

To think the dingles were pissed off when we 'stole' him, and most blades are happy to see the back of him!

Of course! I can't believe Blackwell has let him go. He had the potential to be the next Zinedine Zidane if only Blackwell had given him a chance.

"The style of football was also a big selling point, the new manager wants to play football and that's the way I want to play. Hopefully that will get the best out of me, it will work for the club and we'll be able to get promoted."

Is that him saying he played shit here because of the football we played?
