Dirk kuyt - Just watched him play

Liverpool Football Club - The Rumour Mill

Postby Lando_Griffin » Fri Mar 31, 2006 5:25 am

First off - I searched for a topic on him, but none came up.

Right - I've just seen him playing in the Dutch League against relegation-fodder, and I'll be honest - he was sh*te.

He has boundless energy, but on this performance he would offer us nothing but running.

He was tackled constantly, his control wasn't exactly awe-inspiring, and I didn't see him get a shot on target.

Seriously - if this chap is as good as people say, he sure as hell didn't show it tonight.

Get David Villa in Rafa, and let Tottenham have this lad.  :no

Maybe it was an off night for him, I seem to remember a lot of people on this forum were keen on him a while ago.  Personally I think we could find a better forward.

??? maybe we watched the same game Lando, but I was thinking the same. He was so slow , just a big plodder like a young fit Ian Dowie  :no makes crouch look like van basten

Well i actually seen him play with the national team.

He does have alot of energy, and he played superbly well in one of the games, i forgot which game.

But we can't judge him on one performance can we?

I didn't know that Ciggy - I'm sorry.

That would explain his form.

Best wishes to his Father.

From Teamtalk.com:

The talented Dutch international is viewed as a long-term successor to Alan Shearer - but has been strongly linked with Spurs and Spanish giants Real Madrid among others.

Newcastle checked him out before eventually landing Michael Owen for £17million last August.

But with Shearer retiring at the end of the season and Owen still recovering from injury, the Magpies have confirmed they are still interested in Kuyt.

Chief scout David Mills was due to be in Holland on Friday night to watch the player in Feyenoord's Eredivisie clash with Heerenveen.

"Just because we have not yet appointed a permanent manager, it doesn't means that our scouting team is not out there looking at players," said chairman Freddy Shepherd.

The 21-goal Dutch striker would command a sizeable fee, but Glenn Roeder has few doubts about his quality.

"Kuyt is a top player and I believe he'll have a great World Cup for Holland in the summer," he said. "For me, he is out of the (Ruud) van Nistelrooy mould, and I'm a big admirer of both."

just a couple of things paul

1) If Kuyt has a brain in that head of his, he'll go nowhere near that landmine of a club.

2) Teamtalk is W*nk. :D

I've seen him play against top opposition and I rate him quite highly.
