Someone I work with who is a Norwich City fan says that Leeds have asked about Jonny Howson on loan. can't see it myself but would love to see him in a Leeds shirt again

1.) 05 Mar 2014
Howson back? You must be joking. Good enough for here and now but not for a premiership push this or next year. We need better.

2.) 05 Mar 2014
Give over mate, let's move on from the old players, he's an overrated light weight. the past is the past remember he asked to leave fact?

He left us why would we want him back, also mccormack is no captain we don't have a natural leader at the club need one desperately

I can't se it either but would rather we went elsewhere for a loan midfielder. Too much rose-tinted hype about him as a local lad, he lacks the quality we need and he is too ineffective and lightweight for my liking.

5.) 05 Mar 2014
I must admit that there is some sentiment on my part, I did rate him when he was with us and I know he wanted to leave but in the absence of anyone who can create anything in the middle of the park, I think he would fill the gap until we go up!

He's not good enough never was really I don't even known how he plays for a premier league club

7.) 05 Mar 2014
NO WAY!
Left for better things!!
Build for the future, the past is the past.

8.) 05 Mar 2014
Howson is so overrated. Don't think anyone would want him back. Let him just rot as Norwich reserve player.

9.) 05 Mar 2014
Hopefully he'll be at Elland Road next year - fingers crossed ;-)

If ANY player left our club then why on earth would you want them back?
If they wanted to leave which Mr Howson did then leave them be END OF ;)

Howson is a really good player at this level, in his best position of attacking midfielder, behind the striker(s). Have no issue with him having left us. The sour grapes stuff from some fans is just boring each time we're linked with a a former player. Do I think it will happen, though? No. Chapel A

12.) 05 Mar 2014
Chapel A so you want a player back that walked away and didn't want to play for your club?
Short memories some fans!

I don't ever recall Howson asking or wanting to leave Leeds, to the best of my knowledge he along with Snodgrass were given little choice! The bates propaganda machine ethic of "it's my fooking club and my fooking money so I'll do what I fooking want to" has some forgetting this.

IMO Johnny Howson was a good servant and player while at Leeds.

14.) 05 Mar 2014
Andy -players move on, for a variety of reasons, often to further their career. I don't take it personally! It's part and parcel of the sport; it's part and parcel of their career. Howson never said he didn't want to play for our club. he never walked away. He was sold because our then chairman wanted the £750k Norwich were offering him. He was an excellent servant for this club, as were Snodgrass & Becchio. All great pros. Chapel A

According to Simon Grayson the only player who wanted to leave was Delph, although I think Beckford wanted to go as well, I heard that Ben Parker said Howson didn't want to go, but at the end of the day we just want stability and investment in players, the last 10 years have seen so much turmoil at Eland Road

16.) 06 Mar 2014
According to Ben Parker howson was told to leave his contract was running out and bates wanted the cash to make the books look better as he wanted shot of us! He was offered a contract for less than most other players in the team and he was captain! Grayson had said that howson was gutted to leave. Granted he did say he was happy to join Norwich. But every single player says the same thing! Can't blame him for that! I would have him back!

17.) 06 Mar 2014
Past is past leave players there? So you wouldn't take back Milner, Lennon, max and snoddy?

18.) 06 Mar 2014
All players come out with, well I don't really want to go but iff it's more money they are off, don't hear them putting up a fight to stay either, they have clever agents who know their stuff, was howson forced?, do we really know the truth, and wasn't snodgrass finally encouraged to go to Norwich by howson and Johnson, who would not sign a new contract with leeds, (wanted more brass) neil warnock was desperate for snodgrass to stay, but he had his head turned too.

19.) 06 Mar 2014
"Hopefully he'll be at Elland Road next year - fingers crossed ;-)"

I hope he won't, with us in the premiership and Norwich relegated.

I understand what your saying and agree in principle of the bates regime.
Howson was a good player and when he left for one reason or another he NEVER stated he wanted to stay? Becchio wanted more money I will leave it at that.

Lets get youth in, young blood who want to run through brick walls, proud to where our shirt and give 100% when its pulled on and most all be proud of who LUFC are.
(we seem to get players with limited passion) I know Rudi Austin gets slated but I find it hard to criticise someone who gives 100% no matter how good bad they look.

Howson had one good season IMO and looked to have a great future ahead of him. Alas he has nver fulfilled his potential and the proof is that he's rotting in the reserves in Norfolk.
Not good enough for them, not goog enough for us. We can get better, much better!

22.) 06 Mar 2014
Howson is useless does nothing and we are better off without him. him and johnson were weak links in our team it was inly larrys blindness to them that kept them in team hopeless

23.) 06 Mar 2014
Howson was a very good player for leeds, he didn't ask to leave, he was forced out. He was not offered a contract that reflected his skill or contribution to the team. He had the chance to play at the top level in English football, he has never disrespected the club. There is not one of you out there who would not leave their job if you had the chance of moving to a company that was operating at a higher level and was offering you more money and securty

Howson could be lazy sometimes, no consistency, and iff he was forced out, that will be why, Norwich was his only option at that time, with more money and he has I believe signed another new contract recently with more money, don't know iff he has done much there either to earn that with being injured or not selected!
