Nor have i seen an actual quote, the reason this transfer appears to have taken so long from what i can grasp is that Rafa has been trying to bring in the money to pay his fee.
Thats not Kuyts fault.
By the way what players turned Liverpool down for Newcastle.
With Owen we were outbid and with Duff i dont even believe we ever made an offer or were interested.

Kuyt tipped to reject Newcastle riches for Liverpool move

Feyenoord striker Dirk Kuyt will turn down the opportunity to earn twice as much money with Newcastle United than he will at Liverpool, claims a source close to the player's agent.

Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry is today trying to conclude a deal for the Dutch international in the hope of landing him before the weekend but with the player on international duty, that may not be possible.

Ideally Rafa would like the £10million hitman at Melwood before the weekend but he may have to wait until the Sheffield United fixture is out of the way unless Feyenoord agree to his early release.

A source close to agent Rob Jansen told us: "Newcastle United have offered Kuyt around £90,000-a-week to join them. That's how much he means to them. Liverpool have offered him less than half of that.

"The fee isn't a problem but Feyenoord want this paying quickly or with a significant advance of cash. Liverpool are tying to keep this amount low whereas Newcastle have offered a bigger incentive to Feyenoord to deal with them instead.

"Money has never been a big issue in Dirk's career which is why he's never been in a rush to leave Feyenoord."

He added: "Of course he'd prefer to move to Liverpool and if they pay him less he's fine with this. He will only move to Newcastle if the Anfield door is closed on him by Feyenoord."

Meanwhile the Liverpool Daily Post are today reporting that Rafa is 'back at his desk at Melwood today hoping to conclude the £10m switch of Dirk Kuyt'.

For f.uck sake this transfer merry go round is boring me now, although this is kraptalk..

i know alot of people here dont put much stock in whats said by koptalk but imo there article seems more believable, if not then he`s a player we dont wont and i doubt Rafa would even be interested in him if thats his attitude.

More likely 3 months but we wouldnt of been getting him anyway.
He cost West Ham 8.25 million only near the end of last season, played well scoring goals and getting him in the England squad, so there is no way that Pardew would let him go for anything like 10 million.
