bcfcas1 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 2 million would be a bargin and yes, we should be spending that kind of money and I expect us to. But, I do have serious doubts about his attitude off the pitch...maybe he is a changed man? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Tansley Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 i think saying leroy could damage the spirit at the club is disrespectful to GJ and the players... one person cant cause that much damage i don't think he has been in trouble for a while now either if we do sign him he WILL be a great player for us again if not he is still a ledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Ah what I mean is it was Tinman who allowed it to happen. Where as Johnson wouldnt let a signing be thrust upon him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cider head Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hopefully GJ can make just one exeption on attitude for Leroy But would Reading sell him to a championship rival club ? who knows? but you have to question why reading want rid?? can't get on with steve copple?? still got problems out and about in town which effected his playing for reading? won't change his attitude? it's a gamble bringing back someone like that as an exeption for him to go off and do as he likes while the rest of the team are under rules, it could effect a tight nit dressing room we remember him as he left us as a goal machine but has his life style caught up with him?? if he can change his off field attitude (and we are not just talking having the odd drink it's fighting and being arressted) then lita the player that left us to reading i would take back, but it's a gamble, it has been said of brooker, orr, brown and partridge anticts but 2 had to kiss arse and change to stay, brown was unlucky and partridge was not seen as a safe gamble but the latter 2 changed their ways but can lita as no doubt he has ability to be a top striker as long as he does not piss it away. the pros and con need to be weighed up and i'm 50/50 on the gamble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in total agreement, no doubting the lads 'potential' talent and eye for goal but surely if he was making the right noises about changing his 'off field' attitude other major clubs would be sniffing. For us it is different given the depth of feeling - good and bad - towards Leroy Lita but I am pleased it will be GJ's decision to make and not any of ours who with all due respect either veiw him with rose tinted specs or complete contempt. I am struggling to make up my mind as to want him or to give him a wide berth all I do know is if and I think it is a big 'if' he returns I will support him as I do the rest of the lads until he proves us right or wrong. But it is a huge gamble whatever way you look at it or whatever your personal opinion. In GJ we trust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Leroy Lita minus the big headed attitude and need to behave like a bad boy would be a fantastic signing. Sadly I can't see even GJ working those wonders with him, he's just too much of an arse but if he does sign I hope I'm proved wrong. On the pitch someone with pace like that who makes all the runs is just what I think we need. On the loan thing GJ said in an interview that he wanted to go to a London side, I can't see why he would have a change of mind so soon afterwards. I believe our sell on clause is 25% of profit so an offer of £2m from us (if we write off the clause as part of the deal) is worth as much as an offer of £2.33m from someone else. £3m from us = £3.67m from someone else. That could be a factor. It's a lot of money to gamble on one player and with his well earned reputation it is definitely a gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I've heard the rumours from the usual sources as well but a lot of water would have to go under the bridge for it to happen. Saying that, the fee won't be a problem as money is definately being made available to GJ to seriously strengthen and Leroy's approaching the age where he has to grow up and mature a bit now. GJ would be perfect in helping that and if he can do it with us then it could be a heck of a signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any man can change him then it's gary johnson but does he really need the hassle? we may not even be after lita but if we are then it's a gamble!! copple is a very good manager but would not touch him with a barge pole even when they had not scored for 3 months, you need to ask why?? no doubt lita has got it as a player but has to much baggage but if gary johnson thinks he is worth it then like you said we'll have to trust him.

CiderHider Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I would have him back within the blink of an eye. I am however fully behind GJ on players transfers, if he signes him excellent, if hes doesnt, no matter. But we desperatly need a Lita type player, a 20 goal a season striker is a must buy if we want play offs again. GJ has 5m available so i hear, will be interesting to see how he sepnds it.

arpaul Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I hope to god that GJ is going to sort his attitude and his issues out. He caused enough trouble the last time. Gary Johnson is his own man, and will not allow Mr Lansdown to dictate as to who comes in. Besides. Mr Lansdown would probably know that if he started calling the shots, Gary Johnson would up and leave, and I'm sure there would be a host of clubs watching his movements. As for Lita's attitude, I think Gary Johnson would be well capable of sorting him out. Remember how he dealt with the Brooker, Brown, Partridge and Orr prison fiasco. None were his players, but he dealt with them. You have to blame the previous manager for what went on before Johnsons arrival. However unlike his predecesor, Johnson comes across as strong willed, and appears to have total control of the changing room. It will no longer be a holiday camp for Lita! If Gary Johnson really wants Lita, then Mr Lansdown must back him. I'm not a particular fan of Leroy Lita, but with Johnsons record at City, if he wants him, then I, for one, will trust Gary Johnsons judgement.

bh_red Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 plus of course, I don't think anyone has mentioned his "movie" apart from his on field ability and his off field personality another thing that concerns me about Lita is his injury problems something that seems to have constantly blighted him since he was at Reading. personally though, disgusted by the signing as I would be......I can actually see it happening. BUT......if he gets us the goals that get us promotion, I'll clap him through grated teeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorset_Cider Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Bring Leroy back to the Gate! If only to add further production values to our award winning video team. I understand that no-one in the game operates a camera one-handed like Leroy. http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/2007/09/porn_star_leroy.html Jeeeeeeezus...........

garlicbread Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I think we should after reading The Sun today they say Wigan want £2m for Dave Cotterill (remember that's how much we sold him for and what's he done since leaving us !!!) i personally would love Lita, Laferty and Cotterill.

garlicbread Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I think its obvious that Lansdown is keen to sign Lita as he rates him highly. Maybe hes calling the shots with this one and Gj is going along with it? a la Trundle?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
