LITA GONE OUT ON LOAN

[Uke]

Apologies if this has already been posted, but today's Times is interesting:-

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/ ... 498178.ece

Two telling comments:-

"He will have a future back here if he scores goals. I won't have one if we don't win games so that's an obvious answer."

"I said to him the only way he was going to get back in the team was by impressing in training and reserve games. It should never be a process of "well, the people in the first team are doing crap so I should be playing". It shouldn't be selection by omission."

Great quote from Coppell - "People have been saying "you must have had an argument" but we haven't. It is just a disagreement over my selection policy"

[Smoking Kills Dancing Doe]

The problem isn't Leory going out on loan.

It's the fact that despite all our strikers being out of form and Coppell clearly not getting on with Leory we sign no one of note in Jan, with Coppell telling us he is happy with what he has.

It sums up this season 100%. If you've not got what you need to you go out and get it. You don't just bury your head in the sand and hope for the best. Which has been Coppell's transfer and team selection policy all season and that's why we've gone from a comfortable mid table side, to one that will be lucky to stay up.

Exactement, TIMING all wrong again. A key word for this season.

Oh well....

The whole thing seems odd but all you can do is have faith in the manager!

For what Coppell has achieved at Reading which is absolutely immense and above and beyond any other manager in the history of Reading FC. One thing Coppell should be given is time and trust.

Coppell is an absolute Royals Legend. For someone that seems so unambitious and dour in the messages that he gives out, he has achieved more for Reading than any other manager. So we should stop questioning Coppells ambition. The ambitious managers talk big and achieve nothing. Coppell talks it all down and achieves more than anyone.

Its boring listening to the ungrateful Coppell critics.

The fact is Lita has always struggled to score goals at Premier League level. Although Lita is an outstanding finisher, he doesn't get many chances in the Premier League compared to Doyle and Kitson. The reason for that I think is because Lita doesn't have Premier League movement. He is not a very clever player. He doesn't get himself into areas or positions where he is gonna score goals. Intelligent Premier League defenders just shakle Leroy.

Doyle is more powerful and muscles his way into the box and Kitson is highly intelligent and gets into areas and positions. Kitson also carries a great aerial ability which will be better utilised when Little comes back in.

I think shoving Leroy out the exit door is actually very exciting for Reading FC. It means that Coppell is gonna be in the market for a new striker this summer and I am very confident that Coppell will replace Leroy with someone who is far more capable of finding the target at Premier League level.

Its actually a great opportunity to improve the first team and squad.

Doyle also looks pretty damn shackled to me.

Now then, I could be well off the mark here, but in today's EP there's an interview with Marcus and how he's glad they won last week, blah blah blah, also said on the long trips they play Texas Hold 'Em Poker and he always loses. He says and I quote "It was a good way to relax, although we don't play for big money. I don't think that would be a good idea as it can get silly. If a team-mate owed me a lot of money he might resent it and if I am owed a lot of money I wouldn't want to take it, so we don't play for big stakes. If people want to play for big money then they should go to a casino."

Now as I say, I might be well off the mark here, but I found his comments lecturing on if you want to play for big money you should go to a casino as being rather odd in the context of the interview. UNLESS of course Lita and a.n.other player DID play for rather bigger money and either he owes a.n.other or a.n.other owes Lita and the debt hasn't been paid and they've fallen out over it?? Otherwise, why would Hahnemann suddenly talk about if people want to play for big money they should go to a casino? Because, it has no bearing at all on his other comments, as he'd already said they play for small amount.

Lots of love, Miss Marple.

It's possible, but I think you might be reading too much into his comment.

Leroy, just one last thing!!

[Royal Rother]

That was Colombo.

[07RFC]

Sorry, but IMO, Coppell has truly oxf*rd this one up.

I can't put into word how angry I am at how Coppell has dealt with Lita over the last few months!

i know, i mean you see him in training everyday and speak to him reguarly so it must be a real wonder to you why he has not been played and now gone out on loan

Am I missing something here? An unrelated comment about a card game on a coach that Lita wasn't even on and it is made into another accusation against Lita's behaviour or attitude? Crazy.

He just sounds American to me. Don't think there's a hidden meaning there.

You know - I've composed so many posts for this thread and then didn't post them that I can't remember now if I did post on this thread or not.

As I understand it, it's as simple as Lita just isn't the type of player or personality who's going to work hard enough on the training ground to force his way back into the side. You really can't use the fact that he's scored goals in the reserves recently as a reason to put him back in the team. The standard of reserve team football is so poor that he should be banging in about 5 a game. If Lita goes off and scores a few goals for Charlton in some competitive games, then great, he can come back and be in contention, otherwise he's adding absolutely nothing to the squad currently (again, only as I understand it).

[RTFC Drummer]

Reading have only got 2 decent strikers now with Doyle and Kitson, and by the way you don't count Long as a decent striker he is not good enough for the Prem. Shane Long shound be the one on the loan deal to gain some much needed experience should go somewhere like Wrexham to get used to playing every week. If Doyle or Kitson get injured then Reading are buggered and will have to ask Shane Long to step in the unexpericed striker. IF READING GO DOWN THEN YOU ROYALS FANS COULD BE ASKING TO YOUR SELF SHOULD OF LITA STAYED AT READING AND PLAYED MORE GAMES. YOU WILL JUST HAVE TO FIND OUT.

You should be asking yourself if you should have paid more attention in your English classes at Primary school...
