Posted: Fri Aug 18, 2006 12:36 pmAs a Feyenoord fan I'm sorry to see Kuyt leave after we already lost Kalou to Chelski. But hey, now we got £ 12 million in our pockets after buying him from Utrecht for just 600.000 pounds, that's worth something too... 
I guess we will have to wait another year to become champions of our so called Mickey Mouse competition.
For those of you who doubt if Kuyt is worth the money: he will make sure that every penny is well spended! I have to admit that I was wondering why Feyenoord bought him years ago, he looked a bit slow and his technical skills didn't seem all that great but boy, it didn't take him much time to prove me awfully wrong. Kuyt is a "dream come true" for any manager who needs a striker who is also a teamplayer. Kuyt is not a player like van Nistelrooy (horseface you call him?
) who tends to wait on his chance, he really takes part in the game and is a valuable asset in making his fellow players play better. His technical skills may not look the part but that's just a first impression, if you look well you can see that nine out of ten times he controls the ball with his first touch to follow it up with something good. He scored lots of goals and gave numerous assists for Feyenoord but as I said before, the Dutch competition is on a lower level than yours (but not as boring as yours... 
) so I do not expect Dirk to be a 20+ goalscorer. But 15 goals and 10 assists must be possible and that's some improvement for you lot! Seriously, Kuyt will be a very important piece in the machine that will challenge Chelski for the title. If I'm wrong, well, at least with Kuyt upfront instead of Crouch, Liverpool will look more like a footballclub! No offence intended, blame it on my English...
Congrats with your new purchase and cut him some slack, he will win your hearts!
So long!
