Blades bid for Lita

[DavidM62]

From Popbitch (http://www.popbitch.com)

An amusing tale reaches us from fans at the
West Ham v Aston Villa game. After the match
in the Queens pub, one of our readers got
talking to a group of middle-aged men from
Nuneaton. One of the men said that his
daughter has been going out with Reading's Leroy
Lita, but that she's also been having a fling
with Aston Villa's Nigel Reo-Coker. Upon
finding out, rather than dump her, Lita had
taken the ultimate sanction. He'd removed her
from his Facebook friends.

"Amusing" is stretching it a bit

[savage 4 england]

Chesterfield and Barnsley agreed a fee of £400k for Jamie Ward who is out of contract in the summer.

Maybe Leroy is worth a bit more than £350k?

[Norfolk Royal]

I'm hearing rumours that Wolves are in for Lita. Glenn Roeder said it during interview on SSN today apparently.

There's not a chance in hell that we are going to sell a very good striker to our promotion rivals.

Thank God for that Spacey.

Oh the irony

his goalscoring record when he's not in the hoops suggests that he's a quality finisher, at least at championship level. will score plenty of valuable goals wherever he goes, provided his strike partner complements him well. it would not make sense to sell him to a promotion rival. fob him off to some premier league relegation fodder, i say.

So good that we don't want him?

I'd take a mill for him!

So would I. I fail to see him replacing Beattie though

[blade 1]

be interesting if we did sign him. Fairly strong rumours up here about a deal.

Beattie is pretty much gone, so we need a decent goal scorer.

If lita can show some norwich form then i'm all for it. Blackwell like warnock has always been decent at getting the best out of players not wanted/ out of favour at other clubs.

[rotherwick_royal]

Just seen a Sheff U forum where there's a rumour that Beattie and Kitson are swopping places. If the Blades are thinking of getting Lita also do you think anyone would tell Kitson? Can just imagine that dressing room reunion

How can you say that? Coppell has been reported as telling Leroy that he wants him to stay at Reading!

How would a Kitson move affect all the add ons in his deal ?

Would Stoke effectively have to pay us all the extras on the basis that they were terminating the contract early ?

Would the extras remain in place but reliant on the performance of a Stoke team in which Kitson played no part ?

[Hoop Blah]

Pretty sure we just lose out on them, or at least those that are in anyway related to Kitsons/Stokes performance anyway.

[SCIAG]

I'm pretty sure Hoop Blah's right, if he doesn't score ten goals for them, then they don't need to give us the amount they would after he scored 10.

I'm not sure about the "if Stoke stay up" money though.

[rotherwick_royal]

Seems that Leroy wants to stay now!

Thing is, does he really want to stay or does he want to be a free agent in the Summer?

An almost exact copy of the story on the OS: http://www.readingfc.co.uk/page/NewsDet ... 68,00.html

I really hope he signs a new contract. I reckon there's a 25-goal-a-season Championship player in there somewhere. And 15-goal-a-season Premiership player if playing regularly.

Spot on. I like Leroy but he clearly wants to be free in the Summer and take the best option for himself then. Of course, his best option in the summer might be to re-sign for Reading. Meantime don't believe the twaddle that you read.
