Leroy Lita - Sent out on Loan to Birmingham

So, he's off to Birmingham for (at least) 3 months. Probably a good move for him!

He didn't set the world on fire for us, but he never really had much of a chance given to him.

Good move for him. Always did what was asked of him in fairness but had limited opportunities and that will continue if he stays. Does that mean we've named a player in our squad that is no longer part of it?

...Ah I see we have a recall clause. That may be it.

 

Good move for everyone. I think he'll score regular, hopefully someone in the Championship will want to pay us over a million for him in January.

 

Yes good move for everyone concerned! How the hell he got ahead of Dobbie in the pecking order defies belief, just shows how inept Brenda was on times!...........

 

Wish him well up there, on the club site now

Im glad he is going to a fairly big club like brum.....He never got much game time with us which is a pity as he is a good player. I hope he does well for them and the will want to buy him in the next window...£2 mill would be about right....

 

I disagree with most of you. I think he has been a bit of a failure here and at his last clubs, failed to make any impact. his best period was at Norwich on loan 7 goals in 16 games. I still dont think he is a PL player and the move will enable him to play at his correct level. Good luck to him.

 

I think if you analyse minutes on pitch and goal return his stats are alright. Saying the guy is a failure when he's had such little game time is harsh imo.

 

Thats why he had such little game time as he wasnt good enough for the PL and that is just my opinion. I thought it was a poor signing at the time and the number of minutes played shows it was. One manager didnt play hime, one manager doesnt want him. Can they both be wrong.

KJ and maybe failure was a bit of a strong word, shall i say not a success

 

I thought he was a panic buy at the time imho..

 

Swan a 1.75 million panic buy. thats about £100000 a game, without his wages.

 

very harsh on lita. He done very well for us and the reason he never played is because brendan kept on playing danny when he was on a big barren run, He should have dropped danny for a period and played lita as he is a proven goal scorer in the premiership....good luck to him i say and another player like dobbie that never got a fair chance.....

 

That proven Premier league goal scorer has actually scored 10 PL goals in his career thats 3 less than DG

 

!7 goals in the premiership actually.

 

In how many years ?

 

not how many years ..how many minutes on the pitch

 

I think the point is that DG actually did well in our first year.

 

Not only was he a failure, but a complete wast of money, I have said before he was no more than a panic buy by Rodgers, and both myself and Jagermiester, were very disappointed in this transfer in of Lita at the time, we both new he was not good enough, championship at best, and no way should he have got in front of Dobbie in the pecking order, one of Rodgers mistakes, never wanted him, we didn't need him, and glad he's gone.............

 

Dai i think you better check again. he scored 8 for Reading and 2 for us.

 

Yes you are right there Phil, never wanted the donkey at our club at the time. But he's gone now, hopefully never to return. Emnes was the one I thought we should have signed.
