Bad influence on the team? Ask any of the players from last season, the coaches or the young lads like COD. They can't talk highly enough of him. It is getting really boring now with people just making wide off the mark statements to fit their arguments. Not a personal dig at you by the way barmy army Not taken anything personally, Ive posted my opinion on a player who I think was a massive let down. Ive heard a lot about what he does and doesnt do off the pitch which may or may not be true but when I combine it with what I see with my own eyes I tend to believe its true. Did anybody see Kitson over the new year when he was suspended? How can u when he went aboard

Did he go on a cruise? He could afford to (just on what oufc pay him) He certainly would have had a problem getting a booking

Kitson is independently wealthy and would therefore be able to afford the premium of a late booking over the holiday period. He also has a young family that would be limited to when they could be taken out if school. Easter and half terms are ruled out and pre-season training usually begins before the school holidays. If he took advantage of an enforced break to have some time with his family then fair play to him.
How come those who claim to be in the know are the sort of idiots you won't say anything to?? I worry about the club if those on the inside are happy to talk so freely to people who come across as so stupid!!

The opinion on here is he's over paid, petulant and arrogant, so there must be really bad news coming...

I personally think he will be a big miss. We will struggle to get someone better than him at linking the midfield and forward players at this level.

...unless of course he is retiring to become Appleton's #2 and/or head coach of the Devs.....?
He's been invaluable support to those guys over the last twelve months already, so perhaps that is the way to go?>?

Indeed.Dunno if I'm being really thick, but the article talks about Derek Fazackerley joining. Mash is quoted " Derek is a genuine football person...............and his know-how will be invaluable." Next para starts - "Thomas was with Appleton at Portsmouth and believes he can make his mark behind the scenes. He said: “I have worked with Michael before ....." Who is Thomas?

The problem is, when you create a team that very much revolves around a single individual linking attack and defence, once that player is injured, is suspended or loses form (or interest) then the whole team suddenly grinds to a shuddering halt. Other players have come to rely on them getting the team moving and once they aren't there, they don't know what to do and end up either panicking or passing the ball aimlessly backwards or sideways.

Both the creative link between attack and defence with a good touch and vision I would agree with you if we played two strikers and Kitson, but we don't or haven't! I'd like him to stay if were going to continue with this 4-2-3-1 formation.

All our In The Know people seemed to miss our big announcement this morning!!! You would have thought that they'd have heard a whisper while helping Big Dave clear his locker at the training ground!!!
Or maybe they're waiting for Kitson to bring in a team of crack lawyers to negotiate the pay off that is coming to him?
The way things are going, if those in the know tell me it's sunny outside I'll take an umbrella just in case!!!

4 different people (unconnected other than being Oxford fans) have told me over the weekend Kitson has gone. Knowing these people, I dont think we'll see him in yellow this season.

I have no doubt that some people are in the know, just that those who are don't post what they know on here.
