Kuyt

[Rudo]

Probably the only one.

[Mostar]

The problem is that he cannot really influence the game in the open play.

Few times in the first half he was on the right flank and hesitated just a few seconds to cross the ball which was enough to close off Carroll completely.

Nevertheless he had a decent game and certainly not the one that cost us the win.

He was ****.

[Mostar]

Compared to others he wasn't.

He was as **** as everyone else. So what if he worked his bollocks off, he did **** all against a nothing team. How many times was he actually offside?

Too many for a professional footballer.

You obviously don't remember the Insua love affair. The Suso love represents a climbdown if anything. I'm amazed he doesn't learn though, the lovable loon he is.

I wish I read this before I went and made a thread about Insua...

Nobody's perfect, eh? Except Insua, of course

Liverpool ace Dirk Kuyt is ready to commit his long-term future to the club by signing a new deal at Anfield.

Kuyt still has two years to run on his current contract, but he is poised to agree an extension.

The Holland international believes the future is bright for Liverpool and he wants to be a part of it.

"Liverpool is a club that should be playing for trophies and I guarantee that will happen soon," said Kuyt.

"With Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll arriving, we have become stronger and I have a strong suspicion that the club will reinforce again in the summer.

"This helps my belief that we will be playing for trophies again next season.

"I want to stay because the club is showing ambition, the team is getting stronger and my family and I absolutely love it here. I hope I will sign my contract very soon."

You'd expect that he's been told something with regards our transfer targets for the summer, only good noises coming out at the moment which makes a bloody change.

It’s also encouraging that he’s relishing the challenge rather than worry about the obvious competition he is likely to face.

Odd that he already seems to have started discussions, yet no word on Lucas yet. Get it sorted Ian.

[The Erectile Banana]

Dirk's a good egg, would be delighted to see him get a new contract.

I don't think he should be an automatic first choice, but I'd be delighted if he's happy to stay and fight for his place as part of a stronger squad.

[Exiled_red]

While I like Kuyt as a player and this is nothing personal, but is giving him a contract extension the right thing to do he'll be 31 in the summer, making him 33 when his current deal runs out. Should we not be looking at ways of managing the contracts of older players, shorter term contracts with automatic extensions if the player meets certain conditions (certain number of appearences etc).
