Reds boss Rafa Benitez has been linked with the 25-year-old Holland international for virtually the entire summer as he looks to completely overhaul his striker options at Anfield, following Fernando Morientes' exit and Djibril Cisse set to move on when his broken leg heals.

Rafa won't up his bid, if Kowt wants to go to SCUM, let him. He won't succeed there IMO, he will be doing a similar job to Rooney, whereas SCUM need someone to put the ball in the net.

I dont normally criticise Moores and Parry but this Kuyt thing is doing my head in.

Trust me - Man U are not in for him

He's shown before too with his 'I'd love to play for Newcastle' comments that he'll jump ship for practically anyone who shows a bit of interest.

Strange... we need someone to put the ball in the net as well.

You're right about Rafa not upping his bid though - history proves that!

Yeah, we got Pennant with EXACTLY what we were prepared to pay for him didn't we?

[dww]

Almost by definition - yes.

Are you serious? There was all over the paper that they are now looking at Kuyt.

John Arne Riise?

[Slammer]

Wouldn't suprise me if the scum did get him, we mess around far too long on transfers...why can't we just go out and buy someone instead of all this long drawn out rubbish...which eventually leads to us losing out....Simao and Alves are prime examples of this!
