Parry is a clown. En Rafa que confiamos -
Well, Rafa sounded confident of landing his man earlier on in the week.
I'm a bit wary of Kuyt, I've seen him play 10/12 times, and he's been distinctly average, on every occasion. -

His goalscoring record is phenomenal. 90 in 140 games or something.Originally posted by anfieldanfield
Plus, he created 20 something assists last year alone.
Believe me, he's a very good player.Comment

The confidence that has been apparent in Rafa and co, stems from the fact that they have been secretly negociating with Feyenord officials to agree a fee for Kuyt. I reported way back (not bragging) that we had offered Krompkamp and/or Dudek as part of a deal. We know this was rejected, mainly because Feyenord didnt see the need to sell. Kuyt was always keen on a move but didnt want to be seen to be trying to engineer a move and upset the fans that have treated him so well. However, Feyenord's tough stance has forced Kuyt's camp to make a move and declare his desire to leave but only to Liverpool. This is important as it shows the Feyenord faithful that he simply wanted to move to a bigger club albeit one with ambition. It would not have looked good had he simply declared he wanted to go and would consider all offers.
This has forced Feyenord to negotiate. My understanding is that both parties are fairly close on the valuation but it will take a week or two to sort the structure of the fee etc. Reports of other interested parties are probably designed to disrupt the talks and/or force LFC to pay a bigger fee etc but it is too late at this stage.
I expect this to be a straight forward process and Kuyt to be a Liverpool player by the end of the month.

Was at a corporate event yesterday got speaking with somebody loosely connected to LFC, last year at the same event he told me Baros was going to Villa a good 3 weeks before it happened (predicted the fee and wages correctly)
Anyway was talking to him and he claimed that a deal for Kuyt was imminent (he seemed to have pretty good reasons for saying this but unfortunately it would give away who he is and I wont do that)
Anyway have texted my source but doubt will get a reply till tonight / tomorrow

Feyenoord are meeting Rob Jansen over the weekend to discuss Dirk Kuyt's future. Liverpool should know by Tuesday what the current state of play is.
Rick Parry is "rumoured" to have met Jansen earlir this week. I have no idea where and I don't know if that's trueParry is a clown. En Rafa que confiamosComment

Wasn't Kezman's record in Holland similar though ?Originally posted by RyanComment

If we signed Kuyt, my relative disappointment over our other signings would be alleviated. I think he'd be a fantastic addition."I never think of the future. It comes soon enough."Comment

Although i do really think we will sign him.Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:
'Take that poof bandage off, and what do you mean YOUR knee, it's LIVERPOOL'S knee !'
"Sorry, boss, I should have kept my legs together," said Lawrence. "No, Tommy, your mother should have kept her legs together!," replied Shankly.

Yes. But Kuyt isn't a jumped up, lightweight prima donna. They're completely different types of player and are therefore incomparable. Van Nistelrooy also had a very good goal scoring record in Holland.Originally posted by anfieldanfield"I never think of the future. It comes soon enough."Comment
