why the need to wait until after the game? People say that want to see talent at the club yet fail to notice it staring them in the face we keep seeing the same comments but wilder stated when he came he was not going to play up front so who brought the problem some seem to have? It's not just that he's not playing as a striker though is it. We can't afford to have a player on his wages on the pitch to do 2 or 3 nice flicks in a game. He's slow tracking back, hes slow counter attacking , he didn't contribute as many goals or assists as a number 10 in the hole should. He's now admitted his knees r gone and needs a hip operation( if he is tsf). He's also a booking waiting to happen. At this level we can afford to carry that sort of expensive luxury player.

If true then that's fantastic news, I think Kitson has been a disgrace since he's been here,
I said we needed another 2 strikers before the season start now make that 3,

Exactly my view. Kitson is a class above every other player at the club. Fans got worked up that he wasn't been played as a striker even though that was explained to everyone that he wasn't brought in to be one. 4k a week?! None of our players are on close to that wage. It is again just people assuming he is on a massive wage. Don't forget pompey still pay him a hefty sum of money each month too.

Hunt had loads of assists but apparently they don't count because some say he's crap. The way we were set up by let's not lose wilder it would not matter who was there but on rare occasions we did play on the floor pass and move kitson was always involved but sadly the inferior talent around him failed to react

If u cant fit in and play with the players around u then what's the point. I'd far rather have ashby given more of a chance than see kitson struggle with fitness and injuries again

I've not always been thrilled with Kitson but he is classy. Problem is he's much slower than he was and we could do with a bit more pace. I'm sure he could have a role as a player coach and be used as a good substitute on occasions, but not often as a starter

As i said on another thread a product with parts missing is not an attractive one and now if this is true the squad is very bare.

Upfront as a target man he may have worked at this level. Goal scorers don't just lose it, but with his Pace and fitness failing him it's not the best time to learn a new position. I think young player can learn from him, read back I said he'd be a good coach, for us , doubt he wants to with his writing taking off. Who said were shipping him out , if he's decided to go then that's his choice. I admire him for givin it ago in the first couple of preseason and admiring he can do it, rather than sticking around and taking his wage till the end if the season.

Also , for those who keep saying that Wilder brought him here k owing he wouldn't be played as a front man, is there evidence for that? I seem to recall that it wasn't until after a few games had been played, and we (and probably Wilder) saw that he didn't seem to want to play as an effective up front striker. If he had, I'm sure he could have been far more effective, and had a more positive effect on results, then he did in his number 10/ deepest midfielder role that he took on.

Shame, let's just hope he has a reduced playing role this season and we get some strikers in to keep him out of the side.

Strong rumours at Didcot that Kitson has had his contract paid off and has gone.
Could well be just a rumour. But the manager not talking about it until after the game certainly raises questions.

Post by oufcyellows on Jul 19, 2014 16:35:20 GMT
So it's ok to say before the game so and so ain't traveled as he's picked up a knock or is tired. But u have to wait till after to say someone got the weekend off .

Lots of rumours at Didcot, but it seems a nothing story after all.

I think that with all of the youngsters Kitson will be a very important player in the coming season. If he does give up there will be a big gap fro MAPP to fill.
With MAPPs apparent desire to play 4- 2- 3- 1 , DK could be ideal for the middle of the 3.
Whatever happens it needs to be decided very quickly.
