He only just signed a new contract a few years ago so hopefully he wants to stick it out.

I'd be surprised if he doesn't think Dirks contribution in terms of nullyfying the opposition right back isn't significant, and equally I'd be surprised if he thinks Dirk is amongst the most technically gifted of the Dutch players.

Still, I'm happy to disagree with him

Hardly a compliment

Given his weight and the current price of gold it puts Kuyts worth at just over £2 million. 

Good one

And that's the thing with Kuyt. Those qualities REALLY come to the fore when you've got a handful of skillful, intelligent players playing around him, particularly as they also free up space for him to play. Put him in a side (as was the case for much of last year) with say, Masch and Lucas in the middle and Carra at RB and suddenly his weaknesses as a player really come to the fore.

I blow hot and cold on Deadly but i'd be gutted if he follows Rafa to Inter (which would not surprise me at all) and hopefully Hodgson can get the best out of him.

Out of all the players we have I would say Kuyt is prob the fav to follow rafa to inter followed by masher and both would be a massive miss and would leave a very big hole in the squad that would be hard to fill when you look at what they contributed to the team o er the years
