Sheffield United manager Kevin Blackwell is delighted to have finally secured the services of former Barnsley midfielder Brian Howard.

Howard made his Blades debut in the 3-0 win over Bristol City at the weekend, having been made to wait to seal his switch to Bramall Lane.

Blackwell said: "It's a very strange situation, but football is very strange and life is very strange.

"I have got the player, Barnsley have got their money and I think both parties are happy.

"If I have to wait six months or eight months or take a long boat to China or India to get a player, I will do that. Patience is a virtue."
