Wilko Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/204444/Clough-ready-for-Howard-to-return-to-Derby/? NIGEL CLOUGH is ready to offer Leicester’s Steve Howard a surprise return to Derby with a £300,000 swoop. @FanhousePercy on Twitter has posted the same, normally quite a reliable source according to the Foxes. What we reck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpankWFC Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/204444/Clough-ready-for-Howard-to-return-to-Derby/? @FanhousePercy on Twitter has posted the same, normally quite a reliable source according to the Foxes. What we reck? NC has spent so long talking about pace and movement up front that it would be quite the U turn to bring in Howard. I think the idea is rather than hitting a front man to hold the ball up we will instead play the ball behind and down the channels to relieve pressure in midfield. TBH I would rather have an extra midfielder rather than two up top. That way we might not need to lump the ball up to a target man or down the channels for a quick quite so often.

DerbyshireFox Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 £300,000 ? WOOT ! He`d get more goals for you than Waghorn.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabo1 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 if we get stevie howard back in why not get oakley back in ? oakley is exactly what were looking for but his wages are probably too high like everyones wages at Derby ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I heard a while back that Howard was asking for a move back to Derby (via Don Amott) but Clough said he was not interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 howard is a little too old for me now, he would be good for 5-10 goals a season and a couple of assists but nothing much good for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobDcfc Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I would take him back, something to aim at from set peices and is a good target man, for 300k yes please! No more though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haywood8 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I would take him back, something to aim at from set peices and is a good target man, for 300k yes please! No more though With the pace we have now in Tyson & Robinson,Howard would be abit different to what weve got.A proper target man(Kuqi).Could come on for half an hour & will always create mayhem in oppositions box @ set pieces.Could be an extra defender when trying to hold on to a lead. Very rarely loses out in the air. Not worth a fee....6 month loan off our rich neighbours Leicesterski! He is something we havent got up front.

StaffsRam Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Rated him during his previous stint, but surely toooo long in the tooth now and a backwards step at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.shilton Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I'd have him back, 300k is a bit steep though. I hear that Rasiak is desperately trying to win a contract at, wait for it ....Charlton! Really? Surely he's better than that still, would have him back n'all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 He pi55ed all over Barker last season (away) As a bit part role when the game calls for a target man...... who better? who's available? Kuqi..... but that wont happen. Remember how we were all a bit down about Kuqi signing?? How'd that turn out? I'll never write a player off due to their age. Only their performance. And Howard is still as strong as ever. i don't believe for a minute it'll happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admira Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I'd have him back like a shot. He still knows where the net is as he proved with his recent friendly hattrick (remember those?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilko Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 I'd have him back like a shot. He still knows where the net is as he proved with his recent friendly hattrick (remember those?) Tito was the last lad to grab a hattrick wasn't he? 2008? Then Lupoli the year before. Before that it was Paul Simpson, last man to score a league hattrick. I'd have Big Stevie back in a heartbeat. Knows where the net is and he'll offer us something different up front. Maybe not the 20-goal striker he was 4-5 years ago but in terms of assists for Tyson/Maguire, his height and strength could be invaluable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
