He's not a million miles from a Houghton like player and I honestly can't think of a better place for him.
Good luck to the kid. He is a fan favourite here.
Sounds like the Houghton back up we've been seeking for a while; we have hopefully a successor in Litten but not ready yet. Would be good business for us as Leeds have had a couple of attempts at getting him. Guess he knows Noggers quite well as think they're similar age. Hope it's true but not holding my breath.

I agree, seems a pointless signing, unlikely to get a game, Houghton has plenty of years left and we have Litten coming through, have to trust Radders and co though.
Could be hughly beneficial to both clubs to loan a few players to them.

it wouldn't be so pointless if houghton gets a lengthy injury (and Litten could not be expected to carry the team's attack week in week out just yet), could end up being a very astute signing

With the Radford connection, and also with Pryce being back at Bradford now, I wouldn't be surprised if that's why O'Brien is supposedly heading our way, and I'd also imagine that loans between the two could happen.
Could work for the likes of Downs, Fash, Osborne, Matongo and Turgut to get some game time.

If that happens, but looking at Houghtons injury record that's unlikely, if he did get injured short term we could cope, long term, then you could make a signing on loan etc.
I just feel that he will spend most of the season if not all of it in the reserves or out on loan and taking up salary cap.
You could also same the same about Sneyd, we have not like for like back up for him.
I'd rather have Litten get game time otherwise what is the point of the academy if all we are going to do is sign other teams youngsters. The last few seasons has been barren in terms of appearances for those coming up. people saying they aren't ready but can't ever know because they don't get any/much game time at the next level, meanwhile the likes of Wigan throw their youngsters in to cover senior players lost to short and long term injuries no problem. We must have more faith in them or we'll lose them and be back to square one.
