the digler

[paulcooper4]

Shaggy mate what was Henrys, Drogbas and I'm sure many others first season like in the EPL. Even look at Crouch and how long it took him to get off the mark.
I understand people's frustration with him, I think he's to unselfish but with better players around him and a slight change in attitude I think he'll shine.

in my judgement crouch is quicker and also has a much better touch than dirk. i'd like to know what the facts are though ie training results etc but my guess is that crouch is quicker than dirk.

To me Kuyt doesn't look slower than Crouch (although I may be wrong), but I'd definitely agree that Crouch has a much better touch. Neither seem clinical enough for my liking to be a 20+ goals a season players (given their track records at Liverpool), although Kuyt does have a great record in Holland (weaker league granted). Either way, I am sure we now have at least 3 strikers who will be getting around the 15 goal mark, which is better than having two 20 goal a season strikers, and that seems to be what Rafa wants.

pls dont insult crouch.hattrick against arsenal...thats good enough for me right there.

Believe you me, a hat-trick against Arsenal is more than good enough for me as well to convince me that he's good enough for us. But if you look at chances missed against the likes of Blackburn and Bolton last season, he misses too many clear chances to be 20+ goals a season striker.

And I think Kuyt's lack of pace has been exagerrated.

You going to do a Harry Kewell one?

Kuyt is class and he will prove it to all his doubters this season.

Well the good thing is Rafa is not shying in getting rid of is poor signings, so Dirk is going to have to raise his game - well the goalscoring aspect anyhow.

He should also get punched in the head if he drops too deep - that winds me up big time. He should stay forward and let the midfielders cover the midefield. IMO.
