STAN 30 Posted August 6, 2015 Nice to have a few players that want to stick around! Howson, Johnson, Ruddy, Martin, Ryan Bennett, Elliot Bennett and Wes all on the verge of becoming modern day football veterans. Testament to Lambert that we''ve got so many of his signings from 4, 5 and 6 years ago still in the squad despite us having 3 different managers since his departure.

mrs miggins 0 Posted August 6, 2015 Great news. Fantastic box to box midfielder but who can also be used as an advanced midfielder. Will be a big player for us along with Redmond I think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brighton Yellow 0 Posted August 6, 2015 FFS...Johnny Howson is a delightful footballer. Watching him burst from defence on a box to box run is a sheer joy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy_Bones 444 Posted August 6, 2015 Pleased with this, good player who''s sadly underrated by some but is a good compenent of our midfield and often missed when unavailable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,471 Posted August 6, 2015 Actually it''s a bit odd seeing as he had three years still left, so just added another for a hefty increase!Not being negative but why is the question? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dubai Mark 0 Posted August 6, 2015 Great news, I seriously believe he will be our future Captain and will play for England, expect a big season from him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horse Renoir 1 Posted August 6, 2015 Good, our best player by a mile. He has everything and if he was more consistent would play for a Champions league team. thrilled with this!My favorite NCFC player has signed a contract till 2019 :D fu(k yeah!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,471 Posted August 6, 2015 How son is a top player and great for us no doubt, will be key to us this year, but still baffles me that we gave a 27 year old another year on top of the three he already has.....why waste the money at this point?It''s not like he had a couple years or is 21! Just don''t get this.Still great for Howson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkngood 1,174 Posted August 6, 2015 maybe another team have been trying their luck so we offered him a new deal or maybe he has a clause to match highest earner ??good player but does not get enough goals to play for England !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love how we would have killed for a player of his quality 5 years ago but he basically goes unnoticed now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Shuck 291 Posted August 6, 2015 Echo all the other comments. Excellent news. Sheer quality yet often overlooked.Would hope he really pushes on this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow and Green 352 Posted August 7, 2015 Excellent player. He always gives 100 percent and is a true professional.As mentioned before, Nathan Redmond is surely the next one on the list. If we get relegated this season, he will only have 1 year remaining on his contract - leaving us in weak position during transfer negotiations.I have a feeling he might get called up to the England squad this season too.....

Yellow Green Army 248 Posted August 7, 2015 Brilliant news. Howson is an absolute class player and I imagine this has come about due to a lot of interest in him over the summer. Pure quality when on the ball and has scored some cracking goals for us. Hoping for another at the Ethiad this season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
