Vision One thing thats confusing me a bit. If Lita is free in the summer then i thought he is perfectly entitled to talk to any club about his future. Therefore Sheff Utd could quite legally approach him anyway and discuss terms without even contacting the club. Or has this changed?

Old Biscuitman Today's Times states that Reading accepted Sheffield Utd's offer of £1+ but Lita declined because he couldn't agree personal terms. A different slant altogether. Is Leroy greedy? Which is the truth here?

They'd have wanted him to sign and start playing right now though.
For that they need to pay up.

What i mean is why go through the process of talking to us when they could have sounded the player out originally on the pretence that they were negotiating for a summer deal. Its not really a secret that Lita wasn't in Coppell's plans so to not discuss terms with the player first seems to be a bit of a waste of time really.

Leroy Lita has turned down the chance of a move to Reading’s Championship promotion rivals Sheffield United.
The Blades last week had a bid in excess of £1million accepted by Reading, who will lose the striker for nothing in the summer as he will be a free agent.
However, as we reported on Monday, Lita intends to stay and play his part at Madejski Stadium as Royals look for a swift return to the top flight.

I thought that only applied to international transfers and that you can't approach Domestic players until the end of May (ish).

Sun Tzu That is the Sheff Utd version of the story, so nothing new.
Although I think the offer was a bit more than a pound !!

Thaumagurist* No, I don't think that at all. I agreed that if Lita wanted to go then Reading would have accepted the bid. It's just that they didn't accept or decline the bid before talking to Lita. What's so difficult about that?
