Well, Rafa sounded confident of landing his man earlier on in the week.

I'm a bit wary of Kuyt, I've seen him play 10/12 times, and he's been distinctly average, on every occasion.

His goalscoring record is phenomenal. 90 in 140 games or something.

Plus, he created 20 something assists last year alone.

Believe me, he's a very good player.

from privateeye2
The confidence that has been apparent in Rafa and co, stems from the fact that they have been secretly negociating with Feyenord officials to agree a fee for Kuyt. I reported way back (not bragging) that we had offered Krompkamp and/or Dudek as part of a deal. We know this was rejected, mainly because Feyenord didnt see the need to sell. Kuyt was always keen on a move but didnt want to be seen to be trying to engineer a move and upset the fans that have treated him so well. However, Feyenord's tough stance has forced Kuyt's camp to make a move and declare his desire to leave but only to Liverpool. This is important as it shows the Feyenord faithful that he simply wanted to move to a bigger club albeit one with ambition. It would not have looked good had he simply declared he wanted to go and would consider all offers.

This has forced Feyenord to negotiate. My understanding is that both parties are fairly close on the valuation but it will take a week or two to sort the structure of the fee etc. Reports of other interested parties are probably designed to disrupt the talks and/or force LFC to pay a bigger fee etc but it is too late at this stage.

I expect this to be a straight forward process and Kuyt to be a Liverpool player by the end of the month.

from lecter

Was at a corporate event yesterday got speaking with somebody loosely connected to LFC, last year at the same event he told me Baros was going to Villa a good 3 weeks before it happened (predicted the fee and wages correctly)

Anyway was talking to him and he claimed that a deal for Kuyt was imminent (he seemed to have pretty good reasons for saying this but unfortunately it would give away who he is and I wont do that)

Anyway have texted my source but doubt will get a reply till tonight / tomorrow

from el dunko

Feyenoord are meeting Rob Jansen over the weekend to discuss Dirk Kuyt's future. Liverpool should know by Tuesday what the current state of play is.

Rick Parry is "rumoured" to have met Jansen earlir this week. I have no idea where and I don't know if that's true

Yes. But Kuyt isn't a jumped up, lightweight prima donna. They're completely different types of player and are therefore incomparable. Van Nistelrooy also had a very good goal scoring record in Holland.

I've seen Kuyt play 4 times on visits to the netherlands. He's a very effective team player. Reminds me a bit of Kevin Keegan or Mark Hughes. Very hard, working, bustling - will run all day and knows where the goal is. He'll score the odd spectacular.

Shearer is actually the one who has persuaded Newcastle to end their interest in Kuyt, Shearer wasnt impressed at all with Kuyt during the world cup.
Come to think of it, I kinda remember Shearer being quiet enough at the world cup.

So my question is. Is Lector a reliable insider or not? I never considered him as "in the know" but somehow everyone else did.

Thats exactly the way i have seen it mate.
I have never read any of his exclusives either.
today private eye posted that Kuyt deal was close, according to his source etc.
then Lecter said the same thing after private eye posted that.
IMO its easy to post a follow up message in the aftermath, but id like to see him coming out with a fresh link that nobody has linked us to before.
Im not saying he is deffo a bullshitter though, we may be wrong. I just like to see more evidence from someone before i believe everything they say.
Its like people saying we are going to sign such and such, when it is plastered all over the papers.

Shaggy
04-08-06, 06:50 PM
Dunno about Lecter myself. A lot of people I like reckon his info his good, and certainly Lecter likes to allow people to assume his source is Carra.

Personally I always felt he revelled in his supposed 'insider' status far too much, took the high ground all the time and spoke as though he was some kind of official LFC spokesman.

That's precisely what I thought. If Kuyt had dazzled in the WC, they'd have held out for closer to the £14m figure that was being touted around previously. I think that would have priced us out of the market.

Howard_lfc
04-08-06, 07:11 PM
Whether it's Lecter, PE2, Dunk or anybody else for that matter, I think we're all long enough in the tooth to realise that only a very small percentage of what gets posted on internet forums becomes a reality. So take the information for what it is - somebody's opinion. These aren't guarantees.
Our friend Maestro pointed us towards Kuyt a short while ago - and whilst it hasn't happened (yet) - it was posted in good faith and should be received in the same manner. Let's not start a witch hunt when somebody passes on information - it invariably leads to them stopping posting.

Regarding Kuyt - I'm more confident of him signing now that Rafa has spoken publicly about the need for another striker.

As an ex-GC member I can reliably confirm that his track-record is crap!

Lecter is sound. He has connections to a couple of our players I believe but it doesn't mean the info he gets is always 100% correct.

He is usually on the ball in his assessment of things.

Le Chacal
04-08-06, 07:39 PM
I always doubt when a poster claims to be an Insider. Thats one of the reason i never paid for KT. All this Dunk saga proved me right.

My opinion is Insiders dont post on forums. simple.

LFCman
04-08-06, 07:49 PM
I don't believe there actually are any "insiders" personally. The only real people that would know are Rafa, Parry and a select few who are involved in the transfer themselves. Also Rafa might discuss with someone like Gerrard and ask for his thoughts, but will he go up to Stevie and say I am we have offered so and so for Kuyt and give him up to the minute details etc? I doubt it.

However there are people that would hear whispers down the grapevine and when they eventually get posted on the net we have to take them with a pinch of salt. Even if true at the time, we all know that things can change in a second in Football. Even Rafa himself could tell us his targets etc and he'd be wrong as to who exactly we get until its done or close to done.

G_Man
05-08-06, 12:40 AM
Lecter: His source gets some things right and some things wrong. Lecter posts them in good faith though. Lecter as a poster on forums seems very knowledgable about football in general and has had a season ticket on the Kop for many years. He knows about LFC and it's players and if I want an informed opion on LFC, he is a good source.

:handshake:

As for Kowt, he has a lot to live up to if he does arrive here, I fear it might be a bit too much for the lad, he's being built up as a goal scoring genius.

Thing is though, the barcodes took a loan out to pay for Owen, I know this as -FACT ;)

it honestly wouldn't surprise me if they took a loan out to sign owen. it wouldn't surprise me if fat freddy happened to do the same for "kowt".

if they have another poor season then they must surely be facing financial meltdown similar to leeds.

05-08-06, 01:21 AM
They did take out a loan for Owen for the full amount, the money Real owed them was used to pay for other players.
Fat Freddie is a very rich man but he can only stretch it so far. I think with Roedder, they are in big trouble.

Fair enough - you'd have thought that in a three club race between Villa, Newcastle, and Boro, Villa would come third.

It'll be interesting how he gets back to grips with the EPL - he's had six years away after all. That is a long time in Football time. We had Rigobert Song playing for us after all..... ;)

The only so called "insider" that has convinced me is Elisha_Scott of ynwa.

05-08-06, 03:09 AM
Lecter always seemed to me, to be a guy that knew his stuff regarding football, and always gave a salient opinion, but didn't have any insider knowledge - then all of a sudden, he seemed to get some contact which enabled him to post 'insider' knowledge.

It's obvious to me that all the leaks that might have occured during Houllier's reign have long since been plugged.

I quite fancy AS Roma really...I was impressed with them last season until Totti broke his foot. I think it is more a case of I "want" them to win then I "think" they will win. It would be a nice change if a team outside of the so called 'top three' (AC Milan, Inter, Juventus) won the title.

There is a lot of truth in this, and also the reason i can't post much information anymore.

One of the things rafa did when he came in is clear out the fitness and medical staff - eventually anyhow. That plugged a very useful leak for me.

I didn't realise there was a football forum here as well... :o

I'm a so-called 'Honorary Member' but my £26.00 renewal was still taken by Paypal last week. :miffed:

Anyway, since Kenny007, Tom20148, Cricket69 and Tom left KT I think there is only one member IMHO who has any genuine sources connected to the club for transfer info and that's Johnny H. Lecter seems a genuine guy, though, and I read whatever he posts with interest. He's one of only a few 'old school' members left on KT with any credibility (present company excepted of course).

Away from transfer gossip I have a good mate who works for the architects that have designed the new stadium (he worked on the early plans himself) so I sometimes get interesting snippets of info about what's happening which I will post on here in future. I saw him briefly last night and would have asked him for an update but he was completely shit-faced by 8pm (and I wasn't far behind him!) :D

True.

In my case, its more to do with the fact that most countries here (Korea, Japan, China) are export-orientated. And when it comes to dealing with client relationships/projects, everything is handled in English (whether the client comes from the States or not...). It is so annoying...

I work at Debt Capital Markets (or will be soon), and our target market is Korea, and occasionally China. Yet, interviews are conducted in English...pitchbooks are in English...comparative company analysis are in English...database is in English...everything has to be in English...

I have a mate who lives in Amsterdam and he says that Kuyt is very much in the Ian Rush mold of play...he likes to play off defenders shoulders (thats got to be cheating but hey.....who am I to complain) He scores a lot of tap in's and is said in Holland is very lucky with goals with the ball hitting him on the knee and bum etc...sound familiar to Rushie!!
Apparently he is great in the air...I think this is the key to why Rafa wants him....Rafa has mentioned nothing but this for 2 years now that we need to get the ball in the box and create more possibilities!

GerrardsSocks17
05-08-06, 10:07 PM
This is what Kuyt does well:

He scores goals; he drops deeper and then brings others into play; he holds the ball up well; he's strong; he's very good in the air; he works hard defensively. Oh and did I say he scores goals?

This is what Kuyt does well:

He scores goals; he drops deeper and then brings others into play; he holds the ball up well; he's strong; he's very good in the air; he works hard defensively. Oh and did I say he scores goals?


that's what we all said about nando!

I'd agree with those 'pros' about Kuyt based on what little I've seen of him (I'd add he's a bit 'shoot on sight' and scores from all sorts of angles) but there are also cons.

He's rather slow, his first touch isn't the best and he isn't particularly mobile.

I haven't seen anywhere near enough of him to evaluate him properly, but those are my impressions. If Rafa thinks he'll do a good job for us, that's good enough for me. He usually gets it right.

i think he'd settle in well to be fair. he has a few bad points but, to be fair, the good far outwiegh the bad.

Personally I've seen him a decent amount and he's deceptively quick and I've never had an issue with his touch. And immobility? Not buying it.

Not Premiership strong and not particularly strong on the ball, in leagues - La Liga and Le Championnat, where you get time on the ball. You're not shut down immediately like you are in the Premiership.

Shaggy

Naturally I hope I'm wrong regarding any deficiencies Kuyt may have and, as I said, I've not really seen too much of him.

The main worry I have is the pace issue. I'm nitpicking really but say we buy Kuyt - of the four strikers only Bellamy possesses the pace we need to stretch teams. If he's injured or, more likely, suspended, then we're struggling for pace up front.

I do hope he's deceptively quick.

that's a fair point but he hardly looked weak against chelsea in the CL semi-final a few years ago.

he's not as quick as bellamy but i wouldn't say he was as slow as crouch or robbie. i could be wrong though because i've only seen him play a full game a handful of times.

I've got a nagging doub about Kuyt too but I am also not an officianardo. I've seen him probably half a dozen times on Ch5 and playing for the Dutch in the world cup.
I think it's his perceived lack of pace that bothers me too. His movement seemed good but his perceived lack of pace allows defenders to close him down.
I hope Rafa gets his first choice signing and if that is Kuyt then all well and good. Lets hope he shines.

I rate Kuyt highly. He's the perfect Rafaplayer. He's not slow, but not very quick either. His workrate is brilliant, works his socks off. And most importantly, he's a goalscorer. I really hope we sign this guy.

TheStig
05-08-06, 11:58 PM
I haven't seen enough of Kuyt to comment really, what I will say is that I don't think we'll sign him until we're guarunteed the CL group stages.

Kuyt is a very good player for a decent team. Once he's signed for LFC he'll be even better. With better players around him such as Gerrard, Alonso and Fowler he will improve.
The lad is made for the PREM. He brings POSSIBILITIES. ;)

I don't think the need for pace up front is as important as it was last year as we can now play Gonzales, Pennant and Gerrard in the same midfield who all have decent pace and mean people should be able to join attacks much more quickly.

Kuyt seems reasonably pacy, nothing special but no slouch. I think his type of player would be ideal. Besides I'm all for ugly looking players of immense talent.

Wrong, he's mobile strong, very strong and has a decent, if not electric, turn of pace.

On this occasion, Redhearts Mum is right. Most people know Lec is sound, a fortunate few know who his contact is.

I'm not sure how many times you want to keep banging on about it, suffice to say, Lec is as close as it comes to the real deal, so drop I suggest dropping it.

Must do.

I'm not buying this "deceptively quick" talk. It's a euphemism for "pretty slow", but hey-ho, I hope we sign him....certainly in preference to Defoe.

No, what it means is that he's quicker than he looks, especially over short distances.

Sincerely hope so. Sort of the opposite to Riise...who appears to be quick but in actual fact virtually treads water when he runs.

I still think he'll be ours, regardless of the Defoe rumours.
