Really? I'd refer you to the several dedicated threads over the years his weird fanbase have started on him trying to claim he's the second coming of Maldini.
Kitching is what I'd describe as your typical Championship defender from a solely defensive standpoint - sometimes good, sometimes average, sometimes awful.
What sets him apart is that he's decent with the ball at his feet and he has a good range of passing which makes him a useful addition.
However his inconsistency as a defender seriously lets him down - hence why he was dropped for much of this season, which is why personally I think he'd be a car crash in the PL when he'd come up against faster, more intelligent and stronger opponents.
