Come on lads and lasses

praying I must start reading my posts before I submit them

Damn, I like the ring of "a few more weeks of Parrying about before the season starts"

If we can get the elusive right winger and second striker sorted this might be one of the first summers in ages we won't all be arguing about how crap Parry is by August. Like Shaggy I too haven't been looking forward to a new season so much in years

Have you seen the quotes from Kuyts agent tonight?

yeah i saw them mate.still can't see that one coming off though. if and it's looking like a big if we manage to sign alves then i can't se us having money left for kuyt.

it would be nice though!

Basically that he thinks Kuyt will leave Feynord in this window and that he has his heart set on England. The reporter kept on asking if he was joining Liverpool and he wouldn't comment but did say the price in the papers that Feynord want is rubbish it's lower.

Reading between the lines, I think we're his preferred choice. If Rafa wants him and the cash is there, it'll happen.
A new cult hero in the making methinks. The Feyenoord fans love his commitment and graft by all accounts.

Has anyone on here seen Kuyt play, I mean regularly, in his club side, so he's been judged in his normal environment & usual position?

I've yet to meet anyone who has (well anyone sane, but that's other story), so all I've got to go on (yet again) is hype & hearsay.

Although the unknown is exciting, it can also be absolutely dreadful (Diouf, Diao, Sean Dundee, all immediately springing to mind, as well as countless others).

If you are talking about unknowns, how about Momo Sissoko last year.....

I have seen Kuyt quite a lot on ESPN for Feyenoord and the Netherlands.

Exactly a Rafa type player. I'd welcome his signing.

I`m not sure we really need a striker.
We have three good ones: Crouch, Bellamy, Fowler
One that is OK and still has potential: Pongo
One not good enough, but can do a job:Mellor

Add to that the players that can play behind the strikers: Gerrard, Kewell, Garcia, Zenden.
So IMO RW is the important position to fill as we don`t have anyone that really thrives in that position.

careful mate, you'll get a ban for reasonalble posts like that ;-)

I am not so sure. We need one IMO.

What if Crouch gets injured or gets into bad form?

Then we have no threat in the air and we rely on Bellamy and Fowler. Pongo has potential but isn't a consistent goal threat and the others we need for balance in the midfield IMO.

A fourth striker is then needed IMO. We don't know how Robbie's fitness situation is and Bellamy doesn't have the best track record with injuries.

Adding Kuyt would gives us:

1) Bellamy - Quick incisive striker.
2) Fowler - Experienced predator.
3) Crouch - Tall aerial threat.
4) Kuyt - Strong forward who can score and set up goals.

Possibilities.

You be banned as a Honorary can you?
I guess you can. I`ve had a great time at KT, but it`s time for something new. But enough about that.

Is there a future for Mellor at LFC?
He isn`t good/fit enough, but can we sell him. Or do we have to wait for his contracr to run out?

But Crouch isn`t a great arial threat. He`s good at hold up the ball, but his heading are weak, and he looses to many duels to be a big asset in the air.

[LFCman]

But he still offers a threat and still worries defences with his height. The option is still there.
