Kitson to keep you up?!

Stoke City

comment on the article

Do you really believe Dave Kitson can keep you up? Be honest now! He couldnt keep a good passing side up last season in Reading so he will have no chance with the hoof ball tactics of ur lot! They went weeks on end without scoring a goal, hence the guy you just bought isnt good enough. U have been ripped off big style on his price! 5.5m??? Hes not worth 2.5m! What has he done to represent a price tag like that!? Scored a few for Reading, right that explains it...haha You will give it as much a go as West Brom did in their first season in the Prem, so around 24 points or lower. More chance of plaiting fog than staying up for ur lot! A nice mauling on the 1st day, and you will wish you were in the Championship! Best of luck, you will need it!

Tidus..

You may be right.. but, can't see Uncle Tony spending 5.5 million as a lump sum cash.? Who really knows anyway. If it keeps us up and I did say if... that's a bargain anyway.. No argument there surly.?

Good Luck to Reading F.C.. you are a good club with good fans.. all the best..

RFC Fan in peace.

"If I get the service then I can score goals," Kitson told BBC Radio Stoke.

Our service last season was appalling.
He proved he could score goals, because he was our top scorer with 9 goals.

And since when have we had "a good passing side"?

i reckon this is a good signing for stoke. one thing (of about 50, i know) we lacked last season was a decent proven striker. 5.5 million for kitson is much better than the 5.5 we paid for earnshaw AND miller.

As stated before, I think it was only 2m straight up, then another 3m once you stay up, then another 500k if Kits reaches 15 goals. I think he's a great signing for you, underrated player... 54 goals in 111 appearances speaks for itself.

Best of luck, I'll be watching, hoping Kits bangs them in for ya.

Reading fan in peace..

I think 5.5m was way to much for Kitson, but I think he'll get you goals providing he doesn't get injured, he didn't do to well for Reading in the Premier League, perhaps because he was injured so regularly.

I think you guys will stay up now you've got Kitson, can't wait to see how well he does smiley

Considering Kitson wasn't even a main player for Reading and they failed to stay up, i really can't see Kitson alone keeping you lot up. Good luck though winkeyesmiley

I love how wrong some people are. 'I can score the goals to help keep Stoke up.' Haha Kitson, no you cant. Now away back to Reading with ur tail between ur legs like the championship striker you clearly are.
