i know its not the done thing to pinch things off other forums... and that when it does happen, its just one mans opinion, and not fact, but i though this was an interesting read and thought we could all benefit from the view of someone who watches him every single week....

quote taken from koptalk forum:

--------------------

Why is it that people on here insist we sign Kuyt?

How many of you watch him week in week out i'd love to know? As a dutchman myself I can tell you that our league is very poor.

Kuyt has scored alot of goals even in his time at Utrecht and has been a revelation for Feeynord who happen to be my team at home (so i'm not biased).
But we must sign someone of greater technical quality than Dirk. He will be shown up in england. People on here describe him as a powerhouse striker, great in the air etc.

You are wrong. He is good in the air (no better than morientes) and comparisons with Shearer with regards his strength are laughable.

He is 100% not capable of playing as a loan frontman in England. He does so on some occasions in the eredivisie but his best work comes when he drops deep.
In my opinion he isn't technically a good enough player to be effective in england in this role.

The best comparison I can make with a player in england would be morientes. Kuyt is better strenghtwise but morientes has more guile to his game.

Now I'm of the opinion Moro should be sold so to suggest Dirk Kuyt as one of the replacements is ludicrous. That is the opinion of a dutchman who watches him week in week out.

If we paid 12million for Kuyt and he will flop, we will be looking to resell an ineffective forward for 4-5 million in 3 seasons time. I guarantee you that. And this is coming from a guy whose second club is feeynord and loves to see him score.

now while that is only one mans opinion... i do think it raises eyebrows...

I lurv ze Dutch pepol..

Zey are sooo honest-e.

Sounded like that gay Ali G persona for a moment ..

Vat vaz eez name.. ooh yes.. Br-oo-no..

In all seriousness, it does question Kuyts ability to adapt in the Premiership..

Though it sounds very convincing, its only one man's opinion.

Besides.. dont we already have a tall striker who's good in the air?

i still think we can land kujit.

From SSN:

Feyenoord striker Dirk Kuyt has expressed a desire to join Newcastle United.

The Holland international is among Magpies manager Glenn Roeder's top transfer targets as he prepares for his first full season in charge.

Roeder revealed his admiration for the 25-year-old in April and confirmed he was having the prolific hit-man scouted.

The Newcastle boss has now been given the incentive to pursue his interest after Kuyt confirmed a wish to move to St James' Park.

"I would love to play in the North East," stated Kuyt.

"When I was young, I loved Italian football, but only because van Basten, Rijkaard and Gullit were playing for AC Milan.

"Now, I'd rather play in England. I love English football. I also think my style of play is completely right for The Premiership.

"A club like Newcastle would be my dream."

Kuyt would arrive in The Premiership with cast-iron credentials after hitting at least 20 goals in each of the past four seasons.

He is unlikely to come cheap, however, and Roeder is likely to have to persuade Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd to spend in excess of £10 million to bring Kuyt to Tyneside.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Its all lies he said he will only go to a club that is in the CL every season, he may aswell stay with Feyenoord than go to Newcastle who havent won a trophey for 50 years.

He's not desprate to leave though, media twisting comments that dont exsist.

This is from his own website, he will only leave Feyenoord for CL football, he has been at Feyenoord for 3 years and and doesnt want to walk away with an empty feeling.

Also this article:

/5/2006 - Kuyt Speler van het Jaar van Sportweek

Dirk Kuyt is door het weekblad Sportweek uitgeroepen tot Speler van het Jaar in Nederland. Hij bleef de PSV´ers Farfan (nr 2) en Cocu (nr 3) voor. Kuyt kreeg de beker uit handen van Zeljko Petrovic, zijn voormalige trainer. Sportweek komt deze week met een competitie-special waarin het ter gelegenheid van de uitverkiezing van Kuyt een uitgebreid interview met de aanvaller van Feyenoord heeft.
Feyenoord Netwerk
"Ik ga niet naar een middenmoter uit Engeland. Daar vind ik Feyenoord veel te goed voor. Ik wil hier niet na drie jaar met een leeg gevoel weg. Dan moet er echt iets heel moois komen. Als ik met die schaal in mijn handen had gestaan, had ik met opgeheven hoofd kunnen vertrekken. Nu is het moeilijker. Ik weet: het wederzijds respect is er. Als ik aangeef dat ik toe ben aan een nieuwe stap, weet ik dat er met me wordt meegedacht. Maar dan nog moet het een grote club zijn, waarbij het gevoel helemaal goed is. Zoals bij FC Utrecht en Feyenoord. En misschien komt die club nog helemaal niet.”

Dirk Kuyt when he won dutch player of the year

He recieved the trophey, he said I will not go to a middle of the road club in England, Feyenoord is better than that, if I leave here it has to be for something very special.

If he had a scale in his hand, and he thinks with his head rather than his heart he was already gone, Its very difficult for him to leave and he has loads of respect for Feyenoord.
He will noly leave for a very big club where theres a good feeling and everythings great.
Like at F.C.Utrecht and Feyenoord but maybe that club will never come for me.

Now these are his own words not from some tabloid sh.ite journo, none of these things that he has said points to him signing for Newcastle.

by **stmichael** » Tue May 23, 2006 1:06 pm

For those who haven't seen him I can assure you if Kuyt came here he would be a regular...

However, if your knowledge if the english game is limited Dirky lad, I'll fill you in....You don't want a club like Newcastle, very much like Inter Milan, underachiving bag's of sh#te with some of the worst fans in the world....

Now if you'd have said, Man U, Arsenal or us then yeah, but not Newcastle kid, for the sake of your career not Newcastle.

Kuyt strikes me as more of a target man and not someone who will score that many goals

He's averaged 20 goals a season or more for Feyenoord, target men don't score that many goals.
