Nibor Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 I just listened to the Tinnion interview from last week linked on the main site.I've always thought Lita was a good young player who was doing well and might make us a nice a transfer fee. I've changed my mind.Some of the things Tinnion said about Leroy Lita I found to be absolutely fantastic:- has told Tinnion he wants to stay and play in the first team here and continue learning at Bristol City- is in discussions about a new extended contract and Tinn's reckons he'll sign- wants to stay back after every training session and work on finishing- celebrates goals in training like he does in a matchI have to say I love this kid's attitude and based on hearing that sort of thing I'd fight tooth and nail to keep him even if offers got to silly levels. Players with an attitude like that combined with his natural talent come along once in a blue moon, and they end up playing at the highest level. Keep him!On a side note the interview is definitely worth listening to, some other gems about big decisions made this year.Nibor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bub The Zombie Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 he will leave if the moneys right, they all do.and he will kiss the shirt of his new club and say the same as he does here.and then if the moneys right he will move again and kiss the badge of his new club and say all the right things.i think all footballers are shallow money grabbers.

Wardie Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 i think all footballers are shallow money grabbers. ←Why do you follow a football team, and football in general if you think that about every single footballer bit harsh in my view. only think some are like that but the majority really do want to play for a certain football club and they love it.

Litas ability on the pitch is matched only by his professionalism of it, hes a really nice lad, wants to win allways and badly wants city to do well, the club and most supporters know this and its why we love him so much.I love Lita like my little bro, and wont have a bad word said about him ok?!

Guest BristolRed Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 We all agreed last night that Lita is better than Vassell aswell, so that his price tag up to 3m thankyou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BristolRed Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Better than Andy Cole too, and Blight Yorkie, and Fowler and Sutton and Blobby Gimmemorea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bub The Zombie Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 he is good but not that good.and i also have feelings even if i am the undead, so i can understand why not all footballers are shallow, but i have heard this so many times..Sol campbell, Wayne Rooney , Alan Smith to name three so called Loyalplayersand in reply to the comment " why do you support a football club?"because its my local team who i love to support and money never comes into that.

PhatWill Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Well stone me. I've been saying Lita has had the winning attitude for yonks. It's obvious he's got a love for the game and will score goals at all levels of football. His background in the Congo of playing in a war torn country, bare-footed before moving here means that he doesn't have the same attitude as primadonnas such as Coles or many of our other younger players...As for Lita saying that he wants to stay at City. I'm not denying he has told Tinnion that but is that really what Lita wants?That remains to be seen. I expect Lita's agent will be having a busy summer.
