westred1 Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Glad people haven’t given him too much crap for signing for them after the tough season he’s had at Bolton. Litts is a rarity. Doesn’t actually like football, just sees it as a job. Rovers is the best place for him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 I’ll just put this Cocklan quote here ; ’ He's got two promotions on his CV, an abundance of experience in the leagues and he knows what it takes to get out of this division."

Footballing wise, can't be for the money or the quality of the side he is signing for, but guess anything was a step up from the nonsense at Bolton I just put this answer on the Bristol Rovers thread: Info from my Social Media spies: Little has been renovating a house near Swansea for ages, at least a year if not more, their. ‘Forever Home’ . He and his wife/partner have just had a baby recently too. Does this explain the move a bit now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV Tom Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 He’s a top bloke, did well for us in an attacking sense but he was in a very, very good team, as a defender I always thought he wasn’t good enough. Hopefully we might see him sat in the stand for the odd game at AG!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Absolutely chuffed with this signing tbh. Excellent addition for what we are, lower half L1. A few of my red supporting 'acquaintances' have messaged me saying "never thought I'd say this but jealous of Bristol Rovers today" so bodes well that he comes with a glowing review.

NcnsBcfc Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 If he he stays fit, then this could be a good signing for the gas. However he has had injury problems over the last few years; and no doubt this signing would have taken up a significant amount of their signing budget. Like all signings, there is always an element of a gamble; and we'll have to see whether this one pays off for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grubby Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 BIG gamble for them, IF he stays fit he will be a massive asset to them in L1 BUT he won't have come cheap , in their £ terms, and he could be a big wage out injured. IF they have any sense a large part of the salary dependent on fitness/availability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Only played 30 games in 2 years at Bolton. This looks a bit risky to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Wow. Just read this on the official statement. Seems a really odd thing to write, almost like they’re worried about his fitness. Never seen anything like it before: The 30-year old has a wealth of experience in the Football League, predominantly in the Championship, amassing just shy of 400 senior appearances; an average of just over 30 games per season. when has average games per season ever been mentioned anywhere? They’re worried from the off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More chance of being injured on the training pitch than in a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Bolton must have been a nightmare and I'm not going to begrudge any decision Little makes given the issues with getting paid. He was a great player to watch and probably my favourite player in our promotion season. I'm glad he liked Bristol so much he wants to come back, even if I wish he had joined Forest Green instead...

ashton_fan Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Litts was brilliant during our promotion season in L1 but then had that serious injury (dislocated shoulder?), was out for ages and when he came back had lost some of his pace which was his main asset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder which Mark Little the Gas are getting?! He is bound to be an upgrade on what they had before. But given his age and injury record, he could turn out to be a very expensive gamble for them. Can't imagine he will be at the lower end of the pay scale, and with his injury record and age, if he does well, there won't be anything approaching a transfer fee if he moves on (assuming he does well), so it is a fair old investment by the Fewers. Which is surprising, as I thought they were trying to be run on a more sustainable basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
