Well the club has made a statement basically saying that we're 're-profiling the squad', which I take to mean 'cutting costs'. Glancing between the lines it sounds like Beattie was on massive wages and they were looking to ship him out over the summer, after last years promotion push failed. Henderson was signed as his replacement, however the deal they expected for him never materialised/fell through. Now we've bid for Lita, which I fully expect to fail for two reasons 1) Reading are in a much better position than we are, and it wouldn't take a massive push from him to get back in their first eleven. 2) I would imagine he's reasonable money at Reading. So for him to move to a club with worse promotion prospects than Reading would require something to grease the wheels ....... money. As we are re-profiling (preparing for an extended stay in the championship), there not a chance that we're going to offer a fat cash laidened contract to anyone at the moment!!

It would be silly of him to leave Reading if there is chance him and Copell have put their differences behind them. He's proved he can score at this level so why leave?

He won't leave .......... it's a smoke and mirrors bid by McCabe to try and appease the fans over the sale of Beattie, by going look we're still ambitious we've put a bid in for Leroy Lita. Sadly it's a load of old shit, as Reading put the bid to Lita last week and he turned it down flat. www.readingfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10306~1518604,00.html Just more spin and nonsense from McCabe!!

He's gone. £3.5 million it says. I think you got a good deal there. Does smack of you lot giving up on promotion though. if we'd been able to play henderson instead of beattie most of the season we'd be higher up the league, imo. not bothered about seeming him go, but i'd like to see a replacement.

Lita refuses to go to you. He considers himself too good and you are not offering enough money.

Does the moral high road lead to the virtuous dual carriageway? I was thinking of driving there at the weekend.
