Would have liked to have seen Howard at Stoke tbh, similar player to Sidebe but he knows where the back of the net is!

He has missed loads of chances you would expect him to put away this season.

Spend 1.25m then get rid when we're promoted in 5 months?

i remember loads of Oatcake posters going on about what a waste of money Howard was when he signed for Derby for a million.
he made a big difference for them and made a major contribution in their promotion push. put it this way he definitely was worth the investment.
he might have struggled in the premiership but so do all the other 'championship' stars, the gap between the divisions just gets bigger and bigger every year.

Not the answer in my opinion and I must warn you that my opinion is always right!

A lot of money for a 30 year old, a very good player but would not have been mt choice. If we had 20mil to spend on players then maybe, but I'd still be a little jubious about spending that sort of money on someone that age, no sell on value after 18 months.....

But why Leicester? That's what I am curious about here! I guess if he's located himself in Derby or near then it's local - I can't see that Leicester are going to be paying the money Derby were in the Prem . . .
It says several other Championship clubs were after him - I wonder if we were? The one thing you can be pretty sure of is I bet Colin was trying sign him - I wonder when Colin will start his Striker collection at Palace?
