Howson sounds like he is going to sign. Im glad, i know his for has been criticised, but he is a good young, Leeds born player.
quote:
M: Your current contract is due to expire next summer. How are the talks over a new deal going?
JH: They're going well. We've been in talks for the past month or so and although it's taking a bit of time, I'm not in a massive rush. That's always the way with negotiations but I'm sure they'll be finalised and I'll sign soon.

Good use of the press by the club here. Lots of negative talk about Howson at the moment, so for him to come out and say this helps to get some of the fans back behind him, which will hopefully improve his performances on the pitch.
Well done LUFC! MOT
I would have to disagree, as this is exactly what all the others who have gone before him have said and yet off they go. These contract talks have been going on for months, if he wanted to sign he would have. Judging on this seasons performances I am not sure we cant do better anyway.
For the previous poster 'if he wanted to sign he would have' is a very naive thing to say. Footballers who are a main stay of their team have a lot of power. They can afford to sit there and negotiate the best possible deal for themselves knowing the club would never want to let them go. This is all Jonny's representatives are doing. Would you not do the same? He does want to play for Leeds Utd however that's not to say that he will continue to do so if the club do not offer what he and his people think he's worth. Lets face it, it is a short career.
Short career oh my heart bleeds he's no doubt holding out for 10k a week plus, half a mill a year times 10 season 5 mill at the very least.On this seasons performance he aint even worth it, Clayton yes man of the season so far, get real Jonni wont have to buy 3 cases for 20 quid at asda.
Let him go hes to hot and cold and no pace we got nunez who could play there and wen hes had a chance hes played well this season. bates give grason som money to spend
Was howson actually playing today sooner he goes the better we he midfielders with a bit of imagination and creativity as a captain he lacks leadership and drive
