Kuyt....

[EST_1892]

If only that £10m had been spent on him, I believe we'd be smack bang in the title race rather than being 1 more defeat from being 100% out of it.

Same could be said about Benjani, Eduardo or Santa Cruz. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Most top clubs were unwilling to take the gamble on Torres, we did, we came up trumps.

You either spend your money on form or class these days. It's not the first or last time we will get it wrong.

I loved Luis too. My beef is the OTT criticism of Kuyt. Now I used to hear Luis get called allsorts on the Kop and it just makes it harder for the players on the pitch to perform. To be fair, i realise we're not at the match now, nd I'm hoping this all doesn't catch on [it's not too bad at the match yet]

But I think it's a different kind of criticism. Kuyt's work rate and honesty will ensure that he's never abused personally unlike some of the vitriol that was aimed at Garcia which was disgraceful. He used to get slaughtered, called lazy, flash, a cheat etc. It was all pretty personal whereas with Kuyt it's 'he's a great pro who works hard but just doesn't cut the mustard'.

Kuyt will never be abused like that because he gives everything he has for the shirt.

on both counts lar

yeah probably right there. Mind you the Riise Brigade are handy with their insults and he gives everything

Kuyt was also bought when Rafa didn't have the possibility to sign a player like Torres for £20m. He had to sign a striker for around £10m. You won't get that many better strikers for £10m than Kuyt.

Adebayor, Van Persie, Anelka, Kalou, Defoe, Ashton, Saha ? Surely they were all signed for around 10 million quid?

I'd say Riise could well be no 2 on the list after Kewell for the amount of abuse they get from the stands.

Good player Kuyt. He works like a

[Konstro]

I think that Kuyt is not good enough as a 2nd striker for us but if we would be able to get somebody more creative and simply better than him to partner Torres I would be more than happy for him to stay as a back up striker.

He never moans even if he is left out of the squad. And against weaker sides he makes enough even if he doesn`t score that often. So he would be good alternative if Torres or some other striker needs a rest.

I think he is that kind of player that menagers love and fans can`t understand why. If Rafa would like to sell him i reckon that at least few clubs would be interested and we could still get a fair price.

Next thing about him is that he has very strong mentality. Who would you like to see taking decisive penalty in a CL final shoot - out ? It might seem academical at this moment in time but in few months time can be the difference between winning or losing silverware.

He is very frustrating at times but I don`t want us to sell him cause as a squad player he is excellent.

Amen

The "problem" is that Kuyt is our second best striker, he should be our third or fourth choice striker that we can use in tough away games.

We need a better second choice striker to play with Torres.

I would be happy with...

1. Torres
2. New striker in Torres class.
3. Babel
4. Kuyt or one of our young strikers

Tough away games like Man City?

Good post

Dirk is fantastic, I like him. He works very hard in every game and every training session. He has class and is technically good – a fantastic player, for me.

What's wrong with sticking Ben-ya-noon up top with Torres?

Babel seems to do better as a super sub at the moment, I'm not sure he's ready to start week in week out.
Yossi would make a great "Beardsley-type" striker IMO. He's got a cracking little shot on him, he can beat players and he has excellent vision.
I think he's wasted on the right.
I'd like to see Gerrard back on the right and Benny and Torres up top. Xabi and Mascerano in the middle.

You'd think at the very least he'd use some sort of alias.
Mavier Jascherano or something would do it.

Make an effort, son.

How Kuyt stayed on for the whole match today i will never know truely useless all round striker and i wouldnt even call him a striker he's that back.

Please please sell him back to Holland and lets but Anelka/Villa/Aguero/Diego/Henry we need another striker badly Torres cant do it all by himself in every match
