Great that we've got Howard and Hayles, imo. Should both provide some much needed power up front.

Tomorrow just got very interesting! :)

Just hope we get the right Howard. Derby fans spent four months of last season booing him because he's a lazy carthorse and then the rest of the season proclaiming him as their saviour for the goals he scored.

We've probably paid double what he's worth but we've got a regular 'premiership' starter, ok very loosly Premiership, but hopefully he'll provide something we don't have.

This is a poorly filmed, poorly edited and generally attrocious tube video of Stevie.

This can probably be put down to the fact its been made by someone from Derby.

It does however give you a kind of hint to what the mans football is all about...... and it will suit us in this division.

If this vid has been posted in another thread, I'm not sorry.

Something that has just caught my attention is that Howard started every single league game in the Championship for Derby which bodes well injury wise and discipline wise.

Enter the Leicester City Jinx...:giggle:

(That consisting of - Losing the abilty to score, become injury prone, and have the referee on your back every 10 seconds)

Just to remind you of the rules on signing players before the transfer window. You can sign him today even though the window is closed. In fact you could have signed him 3 weeks ago if you wanted to. There is nothing stopping any club buying a player outside the transfer window. You just cant PLAY him until it opens again.

Says on SSN that Hayles is on an emergency loan deal till tomorrow! lol

Then has signed an 18 month contract.

As long as he don't take the penalties, I'm happy with it!!

Yeah we might want to watch that;

Howard was almost sacked from Luton in late 2001 after an incident during an away game against York City. The Hatters had been awarded a penalty, and Steve grabbed the ball from the designated penalty taker and promptly missed. However, an infringement was noticed and the penalty was ordered to be re-taken. Against the protests of the senior players and the management team, Howard once again grabbed the ball and stepped up to take the penalty, missing once again. He was substituted immediately afterwards and he walked straight into the changing rooms. After reclaiming his place in the team, Howard went on to score 24 goals as Luton finished runners-up in the Division 3 and Howard won the Golden Boot for that Division.

I think the main thing is to have more options and to have more competition in certain places. Hayles knows where the net is and howard is a powerhouse, which is something we have lacked for a while... Horsfield was supposed to give us that option but that just didnt work really!!

I am happy with them, £1.5 million is that too much??

Maybe not compared with the going rate now for a striker. now a days...

I think Derby signed him for 1 million so i guess we have payed decent for him, based on the goals he scored last season, but then again Derby had the midfielders to play the ball to him!!! :S

Lets hope we get some quality in midfield as well.

I also know what you mean about the going rate for strikers although you see Thierry Henry going to Barcelona for 16.5 million and then Darren Bent going to Spurs for 16 million.....i think i know which striker i would rather have out the two!! :whistle:

Hmm... Am I wrong or didn't he just miss a penalty for Derby yesterday??? :whistle:

Correct which is why Phube said the original comment I presume. Do not give him Penalty duty, leave it with Hume(?).

Mind you referees never give us Penalty's anyway!

He'll do a job, it's just totally uninspiring that we have spent this amount of money on him. Until we get 3-4 midfielders in he'll make no difference whatsoever, except encourage the hoof.
