It's true that Leroy Lita has thrived on rubbish League One defences... With the exception of a couple of good long range efforts; his goals have come from defensive errors and basic poaching (I remember seeing one where he chased it just so he could put a no danger, already goal-bound football in the net from 2 yards.But, alas, 29 goals is impressive regardless.
I've probably seen Lita too many times but I can honestly say Sam Parkin is better in his all round game. When Swindon are playing truely rubbish you can still see Parkin working hard... Lita, however fades away in a rubbish City performance.
I'm actually glad we didn't concede a Lita goal this season because the guy celebrates like he's scored in the last minute of the World Cup Final and that would have annoyed me tremendously!
Even the Bristol City fans aren't 100% behind him really... They worry about his increasingly blatant comparisons to Leon Knight (diving) and the guy is another one of Bristol City's disicipline problems (suspended for the crucial last games for not letting whatever annoyed him at the County Ground go).
City fans are busy getting excited over Marcus Stewart's pending deal so if Lita leaves tomorrow it will be unexpected to them more so than if Parkin left us tomorow.
But if other clubs want Lita I say fair enough, we know how good Parkin is... I don't want Parkin to go and if other clubs want one season wonders then so be it.
Oh and in regards to his England U-21 goal... Fair play to him but it's not as if he made the next squad and look at this following link and look at the England U-21 player in the background...
THAT'S how much it meant to our nation!!! Head down... Shoulders low.. .He's walking away like they've conceded! That night many City fans upped his tag to 2million and were talking like he'd scored for the Full Squad.
