jackryan007 0 Posted June 6, 2012 Unfortunatley I can not get to every game - I would be interested in your thoughts on Jonny Howson? I have seen his games on Sky plus the highlights shows and to me he looks like a fantastic player, work rate is great, good on the ball and gets forward to create chances for the forward line. Can he be a premier league star this season and is could he be the captain for 2012/13? Be really interested in the opinion of those who have seen him since he signed in the January transfer window?

Pyro Pete 1,849 Posted June 6, 2012 Our most complete central midfield player. Looks like he will only get better too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whoareyou? 0 Posted June 6, 2012 Whatever, i think Howson has already proven he is a £10 million player now. I don''t think Lambert has that kind of cash at Viler for one player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote] I agree. I don''t think he''d be interested in many of our players. Howson, Holt and possibly Ruddy (but would he displace Given?). I don''t think he''d be interested in any of our defenders, Bennett probably a bit raw for a team aiming for top 6, and Pilkington well he didn''t play regularly under Lambert at Norwich. People waiting to see where Whitbread will end up I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Brownstone 0 Posted June 6, 2012 He''s absolute quality, no doubt about it. I remember saying after, I think, the Everton game that he''ll be our Player of the Season next year.His only real weakness is that he can get out muscled from time to time. A little bit of time in the gym and we really do have a special player on our hands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,455 Posted June 6, 2012 Think he will be key next season- I think Hughton is more likely to play a flat midfield four than a diamond and I believe Howson is our best player in that sort of formation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Villa couldn''t afford that, he''d end up at one of the real big clubs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wesminator 0 Posted June 6, 2012 Right, I am not know for my contro views but is it me or did our poor performances ( with the exception of Chelsea, Man U, Spurs and Arsenal) from December onwards (after beating Newcastle) correspond with Howson coming in?For me we played better and more attacking football prior to him arriving with a more solidly performing set in midfield. Howson came in and Foxy didn''t feature like he did early doors spraying the ball out from defence and acting as the conduit going forward and dropping back. Don''t get me wrong he is quality but I think he is a long way off from being the star a lot think he is. IMO. The Wes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardhouse44 261 Posted June 6, 2012 I believe that we have in McNally a guy who if nothing else knows the worth of the clubs assets. Howson stock can only rise. Young, cultured, gifted no need to sell now I think his value can soar next season. We expect Norwich to revert to type and implode. I think/hope that in McNally we have somebody who knows the value of a player and or our league status. He will strive to ensure our Premiership survival and that won''t happen by selling your best players who are on decent length contracts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
