Kuyt nearly in the bag

[FowlerLeftFoot]

Just one more striker, just one more striker!

Chelsea are hoping to swoop to beat Liverpool to the signature of Dutch striker Dirk Kuyt. (The S*n)

Typical.

I can

Sounds to me like The S*n are pissed off that we're on the way back to the glory days, and they don't like to see us getting the strikeforce that will get us there. I get the feeling that Kuyt has gone through a lot of thinking to leave Feyenoord, they're obviously a team he loves: only a great future with a club like Liverpool could have torn him away, there is NO WAY he would "play Russian Roulette with his career" (as Kompany put it when he turned them down) by accepting bench duty at that pile of ****.

Please don't quote that ****ing rag, even with the Oldham style asterisk.

Mods? What is this forum's policy with regard to this?

He was quoting from the BBC Transfer Gossip column, which I saw myself just before coming on here. I thought it was very relevant to refer to that piece of disinformation as it shows that rag's continuing attitude towards us, as I pointed out in the post following his. I can't see anyone quoting from The S*n for positive reasons here - I imagine all references will be to point out their continuing disgustingness, and hopefully they'll also all be indirect quotes via another source.

HOWEVER, we shouldn't go jumping down the throats of anyone who may happen to refer more positively (and less indirectly) to the rag - there ARE some young Reds out there (I've encountered - and educated - a few down here in the South) who don't know the story and so naively buy it. The best step is to respectfully let them know why it's boycotted, point them in the direction of the HJC site etc.

Totally agreed. Education rather than vilification.

As scully said, I got it from the BBC transfer gossip section. I've never been to their site or ever read their paper. However I thought that piece of 'information' or rumour was relevant to our discussion about Kuyt.

According to the blog though, some misguided retard might go out and buy the paper now :whatever:

Speedy - loads of people read it and thought nothing of it. It was taken from BBC in good faith with good intentions - dont worry about it.

What's the blog got to do with it? That's been running just a couple of months. The issue that Liverpool fans, particularly those who live in Liverpool, have with that particular newspaper go back to 1989, as you well know.
