Kuyt nearly in the bag

[MrMichael]

My 2 cents

I question how many "insiders" there could be who would be able to get information (and share it) that wasn't in the media at all. Unless someone knows Rafa or Parry personally. one would expect that most of the information that could be genuine would be received from confirmation-style sources, ie. someone who works for the club doctor who can confirm a medical has been pencilled in, a temp at a law firm/agent's who handles some paperwork, a worker at a hotel LFC puts new players in etc. Those party to plans that are not yet in action (and therefore not in the media) would surely be few and far between.

I have no issue therefore with anyone passing on anything they have heard in good faith, whether it is already in the media or not, but then anyone who does so must be prepared to accept some questioning of what they say by others who don't know them. Ultimately, if they know their source is genuine, why should they really care if they are believed by 100% of people or not, as long as those who question them are unabusive.

Anyway, thanks very much for passing on what you heard Maestro, you seem to have a reputation for acting in good faith so it is more than appreciated, whether this actually goes through or not its good to hear people around the club are pretty hopeful that it will. I really hope it does like, I think Kuyt would be a tremendous success in English football

VM is a friend of mine and this thread does nothing IMO to enhance the idea of people posting info on here.

...and good post Michael.

ive never heard of you before and thats why i treated it with cynicism, particularly as the news about kuyt seems to be all over the shop

as you see in my post above i did apologise for hurting your feelings (!) when people pointed out that you have a good track record

so no offence

Welcome to the site V man.

Extraordinarily cynical mate, especially when virtually all of The Maestro's (formerly viennamaestro) info in the past has come off.

In fact he's probably KT's best (certainly the most overlooked/underrated) source of info.

Sorry, not like me to get involved but I also have to say that Maestro IMO is a respected poster with good inside info. If this site is really to carry on growing successfully the way it has been doing, then posters like Maestro should be encouraged to contribute any info they have as much as possible. Being cynical towards a posters info is not on, and again IMO would make us no better than KT, which many people here have came to escape from.

I'm sorry for rambling and I don't mean to have a go, and I sincerely mean no bad feeling to anyone here. Its just I enjoy the friendly team mentality that has been developing over here for the last week or so and would like to see this continue.

Moan over....

[Peter_Griffin]

Its not like you to moan Toe!!

[Redmonkey]

Just got a text to say that the Kuyt deal is very close.
From someone in the know.

Cheers mate.

There is a difference between cynicism and sarcasm, and Fagan's post was defo sarcastic.
If you don't know who somebody is then ask a few polite questions, no need for a smart ass post like that straight off. But you apologised so enough said!!

Very good post

Hey pikey.

[Resmist]

There seem to be very mixed messages coming on Kuyt. Many posters with good reputations and track records say its close and others with a similar track record say its a non runner. Things can change quickly in football but I wonder if any of the insider's are being deliberately feed dud information. I would consider Maestro a good source and the same for Johnny H. They cannot always be right but they both post in good faith, so dont shoot the messenger.

Thanks for the info.

There does seem to be a lot less "insider" information than when Ged was around. I think Rafa is very clever with his transfer dealings and the information he puts out. Someone seemed to always know who the 3 players Ged had earmarked for a position were, not so anymore. His only trick was that Zidane was after buying a house on Merseyside!
