Some Info Re: Kuyt

[samo]

You beat me to that one! I'd never heard of him before he joined the Scum

spurs, arsenal and chelsea were all linked and watch van horse before the mancs were even linked with him. i think wenger thought he had him as he went to watch him and was pictured over there and admitted his interest in him. i can't remember all the details right now as it was years ago, but Van Horse was a sort after player, bother in the UK and abroad as far as I rememeber.

Debut post from a long-time lurker on that other site!!

I just can't see why there is all this hype about Kuyt - I think he's 26 years old tomorrow and yes, he's got a great games/goals ratio in the Dutch league over the past 4 or 5 seasons, but what really bothers me is that no other major clubs have been too interested in signing him, and at his age I would have thought that he would have been snapped up at least a couple of years ago. He's more or less the same age as Michael Owen.
How many of us who continually hype him up have actually seen him play on a regular basis? Not many I'd bet - were you really impressed with his showing in the WC? No, I for one will not be too disappointed if Rafa pulls the plug on the "deal" and turns his attention elsewhere.

I've seen him play quite a lot and i'd welcome him. Exactly a Rafa type player.

Also, who else was interested in Momo? Everton?!

Just because other clubs aren't interested in a player means nothing.

I remember Taggart went mad when he was brought over cos he wasn't interested in him at first - it was some shady boardroom-led deal. I'm indifferent about Kuyt I must say - don't know enough about him and he looked crap at the WC.

Judging by past experiences (Senegal!!), maybe Kuyt playing crap at the World Cup is a good thing!!

Maybe so - he worked bloody hard at least. We'll have to trust Rafa on this one!

Agreed. I don't understand the hype myself. I don't want to be overly skeptical, because Rafa is obviously interested in the player but bar the occasional select video clips, he has never impressed me in the games that I have watched. It could be that I've just seen him in all his off days...but I don't know. I'm just not convinced...
