whoareyou? 0 Posted July 30, 2009 I think the £25k wages a week he is after may be a sticking point with most clubs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjwc22 0 Posted July 30, 2009 £25k a week is a lot of money (£1.3m a year) but he is a quality player worth at least £3m imo so think a club will take the risk in paying him that. He will score goals in the champ or L1 and will be worth the money. You could always sell him after a year and make a profit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If wages are a problem when he''s on a free, I hardly thing a nice big fee on top of that will help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjwc22 0 Posted July 30, 2009 It was not that long ago that he was scoring for fun and being linked with teams like Everton. I see no reason why if he came to us and scored 30 that someone like Brum or Boro would not want to take a punt.I think he will end up somewhere decent or go to a smaller club and move on after recapturing his scoring form.

Simon Lappin, King Of Spain 0 Posted July 30, 2009 25k a week is it? Brede Haangeland who was one the best defenders in the prem last season is only on 15k and has been offered 30k by Fulham, does anyone truly believe that Lita''s as valuable a player as him? If it''s true that he''s asking for that much then the mercenary b*stard will be a free agent for a long time. Shows a real lack of touch with reality. Come to think of it, what team is it that has an arrogant thug for a manager and a shady arms dealer with more money than sense as a backer? I bet they would love the prestige of signing a player with a delusional lack of humility coupled with at best slightly above average talent, it''s a match made in heaven!

Destort 0 Posted July 30, 2009 Exactly, it''s not that long ago that he was scoring for fun, which indicates there is another reason he''s not being snapped up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arthur Whittle 0 Posted July 30, 2009 Leicester bound im told. Maybe Hull will put in a late bid as every striker in England seems to be linked with them....then promptly turns them down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bar the hattrick against Wolves he didn''t score in too many games.[/quote]Are you Crazy?He scored 6 goals in 17 games last season whilst he was with us, and was our top scorer even though he was only he for 1/3 of season.He also scored 4 goals in 8 games for Charlton last season and scored 3 goals in 5 games gor Reading last season, now why weren''t impressed with him?Fair enough he isn''t tall, but he has got fantastic strength and scores goals wherever he goes.Oh, and by the way, the answer to ''Am i the only person that wasn''t THAT impressed with him when we had him??'' is a resounding Yes.Case closed [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted July 31, 2009 [quote user="Lambo"]Am i the only person that wasn''t THAT impressed with him when we had him?? Bar the hattrick against Wolves he didn''t score in too many games.[/quote]Possibly.For me it was the goals against Doncaster and Charlton that really showed off what he can give you. The one against Donnie at the death of the game, got the knock on, was on it like a shot and made no mistake with the finish. And with Charlton, if I remember correctly, the ball came in, he was inbetween two defenders, took it down neatly and again made no mistake.He''s definitely got some rough edges but his strength, power and pace make him very dangerous at Championship level.
