No obsession re ex Leeds players for me, but Howson is a very good midfielder, creative, and would be driven to perform by virtue of being ex Leeds. He could be the Vinnie Jones equivalent signing in terms of where we're going. I said last year we should try and get him back, so if it happens I reckon it'd be good biz! Gradel? Not so much!!
