Did you check the date onf this news ? It wasn't 2009 by any chance:icon_wink

I think he's potentially better than any we've currently got. Doesn't fire my flame though.

I would hope they are giving him to us and we're not paying him!

 

[Hazzman]

Sun says the same - me no likely.

 

[city-faithful]

Since 2005 he's averaged around 1 goal every 4 games. No thanks, not for fifteen grand a week.

 

[dpjfox]

Hopefully b/s
surely not an alternative to Maynard
i wouldnt have him as back-up, id prefer Waggy

 

[Blue Maniac]

Hmm. What exactly is wrong with Leroy Lita?

 

[dpjfox]

Turned us down for Boro a few years back, is he a striker u would guarantee 20 goals (eg Maynard/Yak), only acceptable scenario (if this is true) would be as replacement for Waggy and were getting Maynard

 

[Blue Maniac]

Turned us down for Boro a few years back

Not relevant. Most players would have done the same at the time.

is he a striker u would guarantee 20 goals (eg Maynard/Yak)

He's currently the only one of the three being pursued by a Premier League side.

only acceptable scenario (if this is true) would be as replacement for Waggy and were getting Maynard

Why is Maynard so essential?

 

[dpjfox]

is Maynard so essential?, our boss seems to think so!, but obviously not as good as Lita cos Swansea are after him

Do we need a 20 goal a season striker?

Clearly Sven wants Maynard, but I suspect he has other plans if it doesn't come off. If he didn't, I'd be interested to know why.

No, but if a striker doesn't score 20 goals in his first game the Kop will boo him off.

 

[Kingy_85]

Lita can catch the same taxi as Maynard! Next stop F*ckoffsville.

 

[Brown Nose]

Sounds like the kind of story planted by a players Agent when the player is negotiating a contract with another club to eek out a few extra quid.

 

[fitz]

****ing hell, if we were offered Lita at any point during the last two seasons most people would be wetting themselves with excitement. I assume all the negative attitudes are due to it being silly season.

 

[Billyjof]

I worry that our current fit strikers don't look like they would get 20 goals between them. I think someone such as Lita playing alongside Nugent could be effective. We also have goal scorers in our midfield.

I would think that another attacking addition to our squad is essential. There are a few players who might then be shown the door IMO.

Spot on

Compared to David Nugent, he's an absolute footballing genius

Suspect that Brown Nose is right about the agent stuff, though - it might also be something we'd be more than happy to see in print to put a bit more pressure on Bristol Titty

Lita got 12 last season, only 4 at the Riverside ....

Though I don't expect SGE to do this, I'm still a huge Waggy fan and I'd stick with him, and I'm sure he would return to the form and better, he showed season before last after Matty got injured.

Failing that, the loan circus will start up in earnest in a couple of weeks, something will turn up one way or another.

I don't know if I'm reading this right, but are you really saying you would rather have Waghorn than Lita??
