Mr Sitchin NEVER MADE ANY SUCH CLAIM about 'Planet X' returning in 2003, nor does he offer any suggestion of when it will return. I bet he has an idea, but doesn't want to release it.
understandably.

Ok, this isn't really my debate, since I don't know anything about this, but I'd point you to two places that at least claim to prove Sitchin was wrong (regardless of whether he thinks Planet X is/was about to return):
First, the Bad Astronomer (who I point to not because he is an expert in Sumerian writings, but because (a) he is really smart, and (b) he sums up the counter arguments in a couple of paragraphs, unlike the next link):

Second, an actual Sumerian expert says Sitchin is wrong because he misinterprets the symbol on a tablet as the sun when it is actually a star (and yes, the Sumerians distinguished between the two, even though we know that the Sun is a star):

Again, not my debate, but here is some information for you to consider.
