Howard spent 3 years with Romelu at Goodison Park and has talked well of him, claiming that he isn't 'venomous' and is a nice guy. 

"I know he's frustrated," he told Chelsea Chronicle. Things happened at Inter, the style he quit, and the way he would have to be sold in order for the club to recover some funds."

He did not have the chance to speak with and in the way he likes to, and he didn't have to depart on his own behalf.

And although, as I talked to him a few weeks earlier, he stated unfinished business at Chelsea club, which I believe was true, and I thought it was a happy face to tell. Now I am here, and I have to return back and maybe win more titles.

However, speaking in this manner appears to be out of character for him.
