Very funny!

Did I hear rightly on Championship highlights, some aside that it'll cost £300k to sign him?

That's ridiculous. If that story is any way true then it must be a plant by the club. If we say he's up for grabs for 300K that will alert numerous clubs and hopefully start a bidding war

The Norwich fans are upset at the moment as there is a rumour that Leroy told someone in a nightclub that 'there is not enough going on up here.' LOL.

[wolsey]

Well they think that they've signed him (for less than £300k)

That was a rumour made up by the Daily Mail on Wednesday. He's leaving, but for more like £1.1m, not £300k.

As his contract ends this season, then £300-500k would be the going rate and hard for us to turn down, considering we dont want him and able to leave for free in the summer...

Shame, considering he was considered such a bright prospect after his U21 goals not so long ago. Perhaps if he was more focussed on his football, or he was managed more succesfully, we could add a few more noughts onto these quoted amounts

It's only the going rate if there is only 1 or 2 clubs interested in him and they both just bid in that region. As soon as you've got 5 or clubs, the value can rise astronomically, especially if one of them is a Prem club and Lita is seen as the difference between staying up or going down. In that situation, you'd be willing to pay over the odds just to secure the player you want - paying £2million for someone seems a worthwhile gamble.

a few more noughts...
300,000 to 3,000,000 or 30,000,000? Thats some man managment!

Merry Xmas!

Not many clubs who can afford more than £500k are likely to bid though/

[Royal Lady]

I thought he was going to West Brom for £300k?

[moo]

Isnt it weird how a huge club like norwich are desperate to sign our rejects and build a team around them

[moo]

Another thought, do Norwich have any quality players we could swap leroy for?

Didn't they have a great player called Andy Hughes ... oh, I think he's left. Last I knew he was playing for Leeds - anyone know where the Premiership player is these days?

Hughes is still at Leeds

Luke Chadwick? Jamie Cureton?

Sammy Clingan is the only Norwich player who would improve our team. Quality defensive midfield who never gives the ball away. Far and away their best player.

The keeper, Marshall, is pretty good, and Lee Croft, the right winger, has done well this season despite looking like a pub player. Sheff Utd are apparently going to sign him in January though as he's out of contract end of the season.

The rest are absolute toilet, hence the league position. Without Lita's goals they'd be in the bottom three now. They' recently signed Carl 'The Statue' Cort from a Spanish second division club.

I was impressed with Croft, had a good cross on him and looked like their best player, despite as you say, looking like a pub player.

Agent puff in the NOTW today...

TOON AND TOFFEES CHASE LITA


03/01/2009
LEROY LITA is a recession-beating target for Everton and Newcastle.

The Reading striker, who has spent most of the season on loan at Norwich, is out of contract in the summer and is available at a big discount.

Both Everton and Newcastle have severely limited funds and they are both attracted by the credit crunch-busting £350,000 price tag.

Norwich manager Glenn Roeder is keen to take Lita, 24, back to Carrow Road.

But the Congo-born England Under-21 star would jump at the chance to return to the Premier League, where he starred for Reading.

Did I miss that bit

I think we all did

Owen>Martins>Viduka>Ameobi+Xisco>Lita
Cahill up front>Fellani up front>Lescott up front>Lita

Don't see why either would bid for him, and we wouldn't accept £350,000 anyway.
