Leroy Lita

I have to wonder if the only deal this is good for is the directors.

£1m out for Lita but £4m allegedly in for Beattie = £3m profit for the club and thus £x for the directors if we don't spend further.

Nice little recession beater!

Question is, if this is the way it does pan out, can Lita outclass Beattie? Personally, I don't think so. The pace is welcome but I really question the netting ability. As I said elsewhere, hes on a good run at the moment but his long term stats are far less impressive.

Yeah the goal Lita scored on Fiday night was a real duffer, nothing to do with pace and cool finishing.
 
Henderson & Lita would be a good pairing IMO.

If we also get £4M plus for Beattie i would be a happy man!

First off, we'll ignore the fact that we had an outlay of £4million plus signing on fee, agents fees and wages in order to bring Beattie to the club. Unless of course Everton posted that money back to the directors in used £20's and Beattie spent all his wages in the club shop.

How do you propose the directors pocket this money exactly? Why would they bother with Lita at all if they wish to line their pockets?
 
Seven figures seems a bit steep for someone out of contract in 6 months. Saying that, with his scoring record and age, 24, he could be a bargain at around £1Million.

Just hope he's not being either greedy, or holding out for a better offer.
 
14.11 Sheffield United have confirmed a seven-figure bid for Reading striker Leroy Lita has been accepted.

Reading FC said:
Lita not joining Sheffield United

Posted on: Tue 13 Jan 2009
Reading Football Club have confirmed that striker Leroy Lita will not be joining Sheffield United.
Following the sale of James Beattie, the Blades reported that they had lodged a bid for Lita.
But in fact the striker had already rejected the offer, prior to the Yorkshire club's statement, and instead pledged his future to Reading.
Director of Football Nick Hammond confirmed, "We did receive a private offer from Sheffield United for Leroy Lita last week.

"We always try to be open with our players regarding bids officially lodged by other clubs, so it was put to Leroy.
"However we were very pleased that Leroy firmly stated his desire to stay at Reading, and he will not be joining Sheffield United."
Manager Steve Coppell added, "As I have said many times, I believe that all transfer business should be conducted 100% in private so I have no further comment."
After seeing Lita score his team's fourth goal against Watford on Friday, Coppell had said, "I've got four strikers that I'm very happy with and it's a healthy, competitive situation.
"Leroy is a natural goalscorer, the best box finisher we've got. He wants to play and he's putting pressure on the boys who started."
After that victory over the Hornets, Lita had publicly spoken of his desire to aid the Royals' promotion push, saying, "After I came back from my loan at Norwich the manager and I spoke.
"He said he would love me to stay here and be part of things, and I made it clear to him I've got no plans to go anywhere.

"There's nothing in my head other than helping the lads achieve what we want for the rest of the season."

"Apps" includes injury time substitutions, does it not? I bet taking into consideration minutes on the pitch it's a damned sight better than Beattie's.

I think their league goals per game was very similar if not identical the last time I compared them (when someone was comparing them before).
 
TBH I'm so glad we didn't sign Lita.

Talk about ego's, this lad thinks he's even better than what Kabba did when he had his good spell.

He just looks like the kind of person who would cause unrest in the dressing room. lets not forget his off the field activities too.

Thank god he thinks he's better than Sheff Utd.

It's not dead and buried yet... So he still may find his way here.

There have been a lot of rumours about his attitude etc. and he supposedly thinks he's a bit of a playboy.

Have to be very careful when considering players with that sort of outlook.

I know what you mean RaWW but Kabba's goals won us promotion!

From what I've heard... the deal isn't quite dead.

Can't name sources but of the three parties (Blades, Reading and Lita + agent)... it sounds like only one is stalling and something is being done to smooth over those issues.

United still want to sign him.
 
Yeah I hear its his agent that has been the stumbling block.
