Leroy Lita....

[DaveRedDog]

Rumoured that he might be coming to Forest on loan until the end of the season for wages+loan fee. I think if he did he will play v Preston but will struggle to get into the starting 11 if Tyson and Earnshaw are fully fit.

 

[Jsmed]

His contract is up in the summer aswel.

 

[Beasty]

Would be great but can't see it happening :nowink:

Perhaps Billy would put Tyson out on the wing?

 

[Rich]

I'd like to see Lita here, to be honest.

I've been a fan of his for a long time, and think he is exactly the sort of player we need.

there is absolutely no shread of truth in this thread

oh cock

Back to the drawing board, then!

Any news, Capello?

Billy said he wanted someone before Tuesday, so you would hope that means today, and that he wasn't talking about Tuesday 28th July.

To late for that!!

 

[winnits]

Is it wrong that I just checked whether 28th July was a tuesday?

 

[Gary]

Haha, Lita is premiership quality. This would be fun getting him in, I tell thee.

 

[Rich]

Al, you've known me a while, do you really think I wouldn't have checked it first!

So I'm claiming this one if the deal goes through Dave Red Dog

(if not, it's all yours)

arty: we're signing him!

 

[Darth Pierre]

its also a great sign maybe that we are not resorting to getting in an 8ft striker.

hopefully davies wants us playing football

 

[weasel]

Would be bloody fantastic. Lita is one of those players with bags of ability, and makes you scratch your head as to why Reading don't want to do everything to keep him. Sometimes players just come to the end of their lifespan at a club, and if we're the ones to capitalise then happy days. We did so with Rob Earnshaw, and it was a fantastic signing.

Still, I'd be very surprised if someone like Sheff Utd, Derby or Cardiff didn't want him, but if we managed to get him on board then you've got a legitimate partnership for promotion next year in Earnshaw and Lita and I don't think that's exagerating at all.

I did like Lita for Reading in the Prem a lot. Looked a promising striker but I think he believed his own hype and he seems quite arrogant on the pitch to me.

He can finish though. He's a very similar striker to Earnie but younger/faster. Would definately be a good investment if we could sign him permanantly!

Corrected.

 

[Gary]

Corrected.

Actually, he's smaller by an inch! 2 Midgets upfront!!

like someone said, his contract runs out in the summer

so if we stay up we could get him here permanently

Ahhh just imagine. Would be a lovely season if that would happen.

 

[dellaroc]

The problem with Lita isn't his ability...

Happy to see him here until the end of the season, would not want him on the permanent payroll.

 

[winnits]

He'd slot quite neatly into the clique!

 

[dellaroc]

He also offers a million name based puns...

 

[Rich]

A million? That is a lot.

Leeroy camp?

 

[Brolin]

My source tells me that Capello has got it all wrong.

His measurements aren't what they used to be, we're not signing Lita - we're in for Kevin Gallen.

P.S. Don't worry guys, got my coat on, and I'm off.

 

[Jonathan]

You did actually make me laugh, surprisingly!
