Given the new emphasis on a smaller, lower cost squad I would think that Rudd, McGovern and Jones (or Matthews) are pretty much in line with that. I can't see the comments about him being on high wages. He came to us from Hamilton and should be on reasonable Championship wages. I can see high earners like Naismith and Jarvis leaving if a suitable buyer can be found, but we'd have to spend money to replace McGovern when we should be concentrating on strengthening the defense as a priority. Rudd and McGovern can do a good job if they've got good defenders in front of them.

So far it's just a blog rumour, Cromer. It says that money is tight at Sunderland and if they couldn't afford him when they were in the PL, I can't see them affording him now. It could happen, but I don't think it will. They'd probably want him for next to nothing and for us to pay half his wages as well. More likely that a newly promoted team could go for him.
 
Hearing SOOOOO much about Howson to Leeds that I am beginning to get worried!!!!

If he leaves do we express our disgust to Webber or do we trust him and hope that he gets an adequate replacement?

While I would hate to lose Howson because as I have previously stated he is our best player IMO, everyone has a price. However should he leave for a penny less than £10M Webber would have a serious question to answer regardless of whoever came in as a replacement.
