To be fair my grandma would have as well against this lot.
Looked very comfortable when he came on

MoM?Looked very comfortable when he came on
Yeah he was a right fat twat before wasn’t he.Thought he looked a bit thinner than when he was last on the pitch
Calm down BaconYeah he was a right fat twat before wasn’t he.
I’ve been banging the drum for Kitching, but Plymouth did not offer anything in attack today from the first minute to the last. Hull were a bad outfit but this Plymouth were so bad, I felt sorry for the Green Army who made the journey to be served utter dross from their POV.Looked very comfortable when he came on
In January?If what I heard today about the Palmer fee is true (and it's a big if), we might get our money back
None of us know how much we’ve actually paid so far.In January?
I'd be absolutely shocked if we got even half what we paid. Surely not?
Think everyone agrees it's >£4m?None of us know how much we’ve actually paid so far.
Not with Rooney on the prowl she wouldn'tTo be fair my grandma would have as well against this lot.
I doubt it was 4 mil up front. Very few transfers are the full amount without add ons.Think everyone agrees it's >£4m?
I actually think Kitching deserves more minutes, but if someone is going to give us £4m back I'd snap their hand off.

Personally, I was happy to banter my flat mate who’s from Plymouth and supports them as a ‘2nd Team’ - the idea of a secondary team is revolting to me in any case.
Agreed, he didn’t like passing to Bidwell though.Looked very comfortable when he came on

The Sky Blues have secured the 23-year-old centre-back for an 'undisclosed' fee - understood to be in excess of £4m with add-ons
That's from the Cov Tel article on the deal. To me that suggests the up front figure would've been in the £3.5-4m region.City initially had a £2.5m bid, rising to £3m, rejected by the Oakwell club before going back in with a revised £4m bid. That, too, was dismissed on Thursday before City went back again for a third time.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see a swap deal of sorts with Bindon.
Was talking to the other defenders as well seemed to be marshalling themLooked okay when he came on as well I thought. Was aggressive and won a few decent headers.
At one point he did do the classic Kitching move of being lured too far into midfield to challenge a ball, leaving a massive gap behind him and so then had to do a panicked sprint back, but I'd like to see him get a start in the next couple of games

Remember it was deadline day and was a top targetI doubt it was 4 mil up front. Very few transfers are the full amount without add ons.
I doubt it would of been over 3 mil myself with the rest in add one but I guess we will never know. Also that's the Telegraph we're talking about and we know how dubious they are.That's from the Cov Tel article on the deal. To me that suggests the up front figure would've been in the £3.5-4m region.
Reading in their current state probably couldn't afford to pay Liam Kitching for a weekWouldn’t be surprised to see a swap deal of sorts with Bindon.
We signed 3 players who had played for Barnsley that season and allegedly had watched Styles too.Perhaps Fadz had some big input in the Kitching signing, they are good friend's so obviously he will have been in Robins ear.
Fadz would have watched his progress over a number of years.
That is my conclusion to the signing, it's unlikely that we were watching him/scouted him by chance.
Correct, but possibly on the back of Fadz recommendation.We signed 3 players who had played for Barnsley that season and allegedly had watched Styles too.
The plan if certain people are to be believed was to sign the whole Barnsley back 3, ie add Mads Andersen too who went to Luton instead.Correct, but possibly on the back of Fadz recommendation.

MA was first choice I believe. He’s hardly kicked ball since joining Luton.The plan if certain people are to be believed was to sign the whole Barnsley back 3, ie add Mads Andersen too who went to Luton instead.

It says there, initial bid £2.5m guaranteed, rising to 3m with add ons. That was rejected. Then 4m inc add ons, rejected, then >4m accepted.People are reading 2m rejected, 3m rejected etc as up front fees when they could of course be total fees after add-ons and the potential final figure.
Nobody really knows except the clubs involved. It sounds like those figures were leaked by Barnsley, who had a vested interest in showing their fans they weren't letting players go on the cheap. So personally I would take those figures as gospel.

If the initial one was £2.5m rising to 3 I think it’s sensible to infer the final bid would have been at least 3.5m up front.
We would have to pay a lot of the wages to make that happen I’d thinkWouldn’t be surprised to see a swap deal of sorts with Bindon.
