Kitson on his way ?

[coneysboots]

if we get kitson then we just need a back up goalie, a right back, a left back, a CB, A tackler in midfield, another striker, a leader/captain, a fitness coach, a decent manager who can do tactics, a sporting director who is not an imbecile, an owner who knows something about football, a fair pricing policy for tickets, the old badge back, the soul of our club returned and Jude the Cat instead of that tigger obscenity and WE ARE BACK IN BUSINESS !

And our dignity.

And our dignity.

One striker I would have put money on joining QPR during the transfer window is Dave Kitson from Stoke City.

Kitson has had a loan spell at Middlesbrough but his wife’s job in London means he wants to return south.

He was touted for a move to West Ham but that came to nothing, while his former club Reading would struggle to get him back because of his wages, which would also seemingly rule out the likes of Watford and Crystal Palace.

So it appeared Kitson might effectively fall into QPR’s lap – and be a very timely signing for an under-fire regime.

Rangers did make an approach after learning that they could be able to land the player, but it seems wages are a stumbling block for them as well.

QPR want to take Kitson on loan but are currently some distance from reaching an agreement over the payment of his wages, and no progress has been made this week.

I wonder if a couple more bad results - and more unrest among the fans - might persuade Rangers to pay more. They usually do.

From Kilburn Times

By Ben Kosky

QPR are poised to strengthen their forward line by signing Stoke striker Dave Kitson on loan until the end of the season.

Rangers have been seeking a frontman with aerial presence for some time and Kitson, who is keen to return to the south-east for family reasons, fits the bill.

The 29-year-old recently returned to the Britannia Stadium after a six-week loan with Middlesbrough - during which he netted the first goal in Boro's 5-1 thrashing of the Rs at Loftus Road.

But Kitson is resigned to leaving Stoke, where he faces an uphill task to dislodge the likes of Ricardo Fuller, Tuncay, James Beattie and Mamady Sidibe.

West Ham's initial interest in Kitson has cooled, while Reading - the club he helped fire into the Premier League in 2006 - would struggle to meet his wage demands.

Rangers are close to finalising a deal to sign another forward, Hull City's Daniel Cousin, who is currently at the Africa Cup of Nations with Gabon.

Cousin's Hull team-mate Caleb Folan - who was also recently on loan at Middlesbrough - has been a long-term transfer target of QPR sporting director Gianni Paladini, but has struggled with injury of late.

Kitson's Championship pedigree is impressive - he netted 46 goals in two and a half seasons with Reading after joining the Berkshire club from Cambridge United.

He found the step up to the Premier League harder, but still hit double figures as the Royals were relegated in 2008 and signed for Stoke in a £5.5m deal that summer.

More recently, the striker hit three goals in six appearances for Middlesbrough, but ruled out a permanent move to the Riverside due to his wife's work commitments in London.

Rangers are currently reshuffling their pack of strikers, with Heidar Helguson returning to his old club Watford for a second loan until the end of the season.

And unsurprisingly Alessandro Pellicori's QPR career has been cut short after just six months, 10 appearances (nine of them as substitute) and one goal, against Exeter in the Carling Cup.

Representatives of Serie B side Mantova met Pellicori in London this week and are expected to confirm the 28-year-old's move back to Italy on a free transfer.

Quashie and Cousins will come! But Kitson wont!!!!

And of the other 2 wont happen either imo.

don't believe kitson would come at all.....if he does then i will go back to believing in santa & the tooth fairy.

I think we have to believe otherwise there is little to look forward to this season.

Like Ebanks-Blake two seasons ago, Kitson is the type of forward we should be in the market for.
