Talks alot of sense. Say's it didn't work out at stoke as he couldn't adapt to how we played after playing the Reading way for so long. Said it was his decision to join stoke where he thought he could help keep us in the league but it just didn't happen for him.
I'm so dissappointed that this move didn't work out as I do rate Kitson as a player.

He's got a point. After playing total football with Cambridge he couldn't adapt

Genuine £5M strikers can adapt and play under any style and in any conditions. Dave Kitson is not a genuine £5M striker.

in future we should be very wary of players who talk up their previous club a little too much

That is a very feeble excuse that a professional footballer can't change the way he plays. If thats the case he'd still be playing Sunday League football..

in future we should be very wary of players who talk up their previous club a little too much Dont talk rubbish, have you ever heard Peter Thorne talk about Stoke? And he seems to be doing pretty well at the moment. As for a £5m striker being able to play under any conditions??? So would you play Messi as a target man up front on his own? He is worth over £100m but if you play him in that position he wont be able to adapt. He is a good player and as he said it didnt work out so lets just hope he does well for Reading and we get a better fee because of that fact. |

im sorry but i think hes an arse he only speaks about how its affected him well im not being funny but the club and ultimately the fans are suffering from his mistake as we have wasted good money on him and missed the opportunity to pick up wins or draws from matchs where he has had good chances.

And why should he when fucktards on here will use Kitsons hopelessness as a stick to beat Pulis with.. Any £5 million pound striker can adapt to circumstances around him and score goals.. Kitson Played 11 Substitions 6 Goals 0 |

Lets not forget our Dave has a past history of throwing his dummy out of his pram and showing his true colours. |

Surely no one is even thinking of defending Kitson. He has taken our money, stuck two fingers up at us by making no effort and returned whence he came with his pockets bulging with our cash. If his intention was just to make money he has done it brilliantly.

If my new employer didn't have me doing the job I applied for I'd stick my fingers up as well. Kitson is a poacher like Michael Owen. What Pulis wanted was an Alan Shearer type big CF - like Beats.
No player in the world can score if they don't get the ball. Kitson rarely did.

If his intention was just to make money he has done it brilliantly. Kitson hasn't stuck two fingers up at us by making no effort. He always played with commitment, it just didn't work out for him (played out of position at the start, not suited to our style of play etc.), but to say he made no effort is just incorrect. I'm not saying he's a five million striker or that signing him wasn't a pretty big mistake, but let's stick to the facts. |

I've just seen the interview and he doesn't actually say much wrong. He got it wrong, he's gone back, end of. I don't see the problem.

Lets face it, Kitson made a big mistake in coming to Stoke. Which agent or manager would recommend Stoke under Pulis to any up and coming player or one whose career wasn't in it's later stages. Why wouldn't (say) Ledney come? No-one is going to improve their skill levels or tactical awareness under Pulis are they?
The most we can hope for pro tem is honest journeymen doing their best-which to be fair to him is what Pulis has in many cases accomplished.

Just seen his interview. One the one hand, fair enough. He's admitted he struggled to adapt to our particular way of playing and hinted at family unhappiness at a move north unsettling him.
What he didn't do was publically apologise to us fans and the club for him making a cats bollock of the 5 mill we spunked on this posh voiced twatter. So is that it? Just eff off back to his poncey botter pals at Reading without so much as a hint of a 'sorry'?
I've stuck up for this piss flap in too many arguments for him to just shrug his ginger minge shoulders and swagger off back to the commuter belt with his pockets bulging with our clubs precious money. I hope we get some of our fee back then he breaks his leg.
Leg? Second thoughts, neck.

Playing the Reading way??? Hardly played amazing football did they. They were a pretty unattractive physical side too as I remember.
How about it didn't work out because my attitude stunk and I thought I had a god given right to be in the first team when I threw my toys out the pram when things didnt go my way.
Good riddance - Vastly overrated

He was supposed to be a proven striker at this level, hardly someone in need of an improvement of 'skill levels or tactical awareness'. oh and Ledley wanted to talk to Stoke but was refused permission by cardiff. why didn't you try and fit a few more outdated and unfounded stereotypes into that post? |

Shawcross, was a manure reserve and is now one of the best young English CB under the guidance of TP so to say no-one could improve there skills while here is just not true. O and thank fuck we didnt get Ledley because he is Shite |
