Kuyt-Hit or Miss?

[bigfooty]

He's never looked better than his first appearance as a sub against West Ham.

Hit for attitude & work-rate, miss for pretty much everything else.

Just out of interest....would anyone here consider selling if a bid of £10m came in this summer?

Only if we can get someone of Rooney's quality in exchange.

[Rich]

£10m? I'd probably take it.

We only need 4 strikers next year: Crouch, Voronin, ????, ????

I'd accept large bids for Bellamy and Kuyt.

[ronan]

I disagree. When he stays up on top he is fine.

He just has to leave the buildup to others.

For me he is a very good poacher.

yes, but he does'nt.

[LFCman]

Hit.

Was class but in recent months has lacked the sharpness he had. Remember he came from the Dutch league which isn't as physically demanding and I think that's over the course of the season taken its toll in Dirk. But he's a valuable player. No question about that.

He's also set up a lot of goals for us.

I agree with Fredo, only if we got someone really good instead.

Voronin is a poof.

Without hesitation.

We have Crouch who is miles better in every department.

[einar]

yes, but he does'nt.

But that should be a easy problem to fix.

Stay up there or stay on the bench.

[Rich]

Voronin is a poof.

Is that confirmed?

I think we should give Kuyt some time (like one more season) and then judge him. He started superbly and his best match was v. Reading at home. He was a real menace. And as a footie player he too has some positives and negatives.

+: His shots are powerful and is a sweet striker of the ball, skillful with the ball although sometimes his first touch lets him down,
-: He is slow (I think he is just quicker than Crouchy).

Kuyt would score lots of goals if he would play upfront all the time. But Rafa's tactics do not allow him to play there as he plays somewhere in the middle between the midfield and attack all the time.

The story is the same as Cissé's. Give him a proper run in his favourite position and he'll deliver goods. He can't score goals if he's running with the ball somewhere around the middle of the park with 2 or 3 people covering him.

Anyways, I think we'll see the real Kuyt next season!

Voronin is a poof.

Maybe he is better at what Kuyt is trying to do for us at the moment.

I think you could be right.

[Guest]

Almost.

[bigfooty]

I would take 10M for Kuyt. I think the money could be used more productively.
