I have a friend in the know at Norwich and Lita is going to them in January for 800,000 also We tabled an offer for him at the same time as Norwich , however Mr Coppel stepped in and said he would only allow Lita to go to Norwich , as the nearest major town is a two hour drive from there, so to limit his 'bad habits'.

If they're selling him, why would they care? Your friend is confusing this with the possible loan deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwich don't have £80 let alone £800'000. I can't imagine Coppell would care where he went if he was selling him.. he did say that for the loan request that he wouldn't let him here.

Despite financial problems at Norwich, I wonder if they continue to pay new recruits more than we do? - that's surely what will determine Leroy's next move?

He left the door fully open for a return top City should it ever happen. I don't think we need another striker but if he was available at the right price then as Gj is a fan of him I would not be surprised to see him return.

Fully expect Lita to be filling in for the injured Mr. I Miller at the Hawthorns come Jan. For Tony Mowbray its a no-brainer. Relatively cheap for what he is getting and potentially a player that can score the goals they need. He'll either get 8 goals in 20 games for them or none! Worth the gamble though. Lets not forget that when he was in his purple patch for Reading, Bolton wanted him to replace Anelka and Reading turned down a bid of over £7million!

Lita might have a touch of the 'Big Head about him, but he can score goals against the toughest defences; he proved it in Reading's first top flight season and for the England U21s. At £1 million he'll be a snip for someone, shame it'll not be us. Oh well; at least we'll make a little bit of cash out of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At £1 million he'll be a snip for someone, shame it'll not be us. Oh well; at least we'll make a little bit of cash out of it... I always thought those sell on clauses pay out on the profit made, if they sell him for any less than £1m, we wont get anything I don't think. Just to think, if reading had sold him to bolton we would have gotten millions, although they are probably more upset about his loss of form and transfer value than we are. Still, if they insist on a sell on clause, and receive money for him in the future, we could still see a bit of that, like when akinbiyi was bought and sold. Si.

MATT BCFC Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 He would do something none of our other forwards seems capable of doing and thats scoring regularly at this level. don't see why anyone wouldnt want him back who cares what he does off the pitch he will do the business on it and would easily be our best player.

I'm sure if he came here he .would score goals and more so than any of our current strikeforce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure if he came here he .would score goals and more so than any of our current strikeforce. Well that's how I remember him - he often scored a goal but he always seemed to miss several chances first. He very often slashed at the ball and hit it wildly over the bar and he was selfish, often not passing to his forward partner in a better position. I've watched Lita for the England U.21's and he's exactly the same there. This City team doesn't make as many chances as the one he played in previously and I don't think he'd score alot of goals for us now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stillmorecider Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 My sauce outside the dolman today told me that Trundle is off for a good fee in Jan and LITA will be signing for us. And she knows the guy who sweeps the dolman after games, he found a note that blew out of GJ's car straight up into the dolman. C block row G.... it said...

bransonmo Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Lita's first full season in league 1 he scored 29, we signed Brooker who scored 16 after scoring [4] ? for Port Vale. Much talk about attacking midfielders, and that season we had Wilkshire, scored 10 and Murray scored 8. The center midfield was shared by Docherty, Orr, Tinnion and Scott Brown, some hard tacklers in there. Leroy was surrounded by these players in League 1 and made the most of it. Of all of these players, Wilkshire has advanced the most, playing as regular right wing back for Australia. He plays box to box, tackles with power, takes the dead ball situations and assists with regularity at International level. Lita scores with regularity and creates his own opportunities, something he may have learnt from Brooker. City's main negative is their grandpa options, Adebola 33, Trundle 32 and John 32. These old pros wont get faster or better and I have been at a loss as to why GJ keeps selecting players past their prime who cost us money, matches and our position in the table. If we have to pay money and big wages for anyone, can we look for players under 26 and at least get some mileage out of them. If Lita's price is right, lets do it, he's a little older now and hopefully matured a little. We cant keep judging each other for the sins of our youth........ can we ? Good Lord, half of us would be in jail ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
