Tim Howard finds MLS hands behing situation of Lampard
Tim Howard reckons MLS officials themselves are responsible for the Frank Lampard situation.
According to Howard, Manchester City should not have been allowed to take Lampard away on loan straightaway after his signing to New York City.
Lampard has done so well at Manchester City that the Sky Blues are now not ready to let him go to America in the winter. They want the veteran player to see the whole Premier League season through for them.
Howard doesn’t think that MLS should let the loan extension, which is on the cards, to materialize.
However, he is not too optimistic about any such step being taken by the MLS officials.
The Everton shot stopper is fully aware that Manchester City would definitely try to get that loan extended and they are too powerful to be forced to do otherwise.
Speaking about the Lampard saga the other day, Howard said, “I think this whole problem is created by MLS itself.”
“Now, I don’t see Frank returning to New York before the season is over here in England because Manchester City seems to be too keen to keep him on board for their entire campaign in the Premier League.”
When asked if Manchester City should be stopped from extending Lampard’s loan spell, the 35-year old said, “Yes, of course, but, I am not too sure if it would happen.”
Howard, who is an American, has never played in the Major League Soccer in his career. He has been in England since the origin of that tournament there in his homeland.
Howard first played for Manchester United for 4 years, while, for the last 7 years, he has been playing for the Toffees. He is the first choice goalie at Everton at the moment.
