Dirk Kuyt (Inter Milan)

Am I the only one who wants Kuyt to stay??
Looks like some of you have forgotten all the things he has done..
I don't want to see him playing for Inter or any other team, I just want to see him in the red shirt, in OUR red shirt.

I want him to stay, but if we were to get the right offer for a 31 year old, we'd be mad not to consider it.

Of course you are not the only one ... Only the Joga Bonito experts can't see his true value to our great club ...

Dirk's main contribution is his never say die attitude, his excellent character and his incredible work ethic. Sadly he is not getting any younger and if the right offer comes in we should consider it. Anything around £8/10million I would sell, but personally I doubt we would be offered anything like that for him. I don't really see Dirk as a bench player, its his hard work over 90mins week in week out that's his great value, not 20mins off the bench.

Well said, and my thoughts exactly.... do think we should look for more like 10-12M for him though.

I'm sorry but for 12 million you would not be able to buy someone to replace Kuyt to the same standard he is a Dutch international we are miles better off keeping him

For 15M we could most likely land a younger, faster, more skillful Dutch international in Ibrahim Affelay.  I'd imagine we could also land Lucas Barrios as a like for like replacement in the 15-20M range, and he'd be boss!  There are options out there that we could land.

Of course you are not the only one ... Only the Joga Bonito experts can't see his true value to our great club ...

He has been a valuable servant to this club, but every player has a price.  What would you sell him for?  For me, I think we'd be getting good value for a 31 year old player who's best attribute is his work rate if we could snag about 12M for him.  That's just my opinion.  Maybe you truly think he's worth more like 15-20M, and that's fine as you are entitled to your opinion as well

The @Dirk_18_Kuyt to Inter Milan story that has sprung up today is a year old - reproduced by accident by Dutch website. Nothing in it

De Telegraaf is the least reliable Dutch newspaper around. And the story hasn't been replicated in media that I'd say is reliable. Doesn't say it isn't true ofcourse, and I wouldn't be surprised they are as Kuyt's position in the team is less certain.

And they never say he's going for 1 million.

I want him to stay, but if we were to get the right offer for a 31 year old, we'd be mad not to consider it.

Sure.. But I don't think Inter will do that right offer.. Well, let's see. If they offered only 12 millions we shouldn't sell him!

Of course you are not the only one ... Only the Joga Bonito experts can't see his true value to our great club ...

Liverpool FC Dirk Kuyt Inter Milan link is one-year-old story

By James Pearce

REPORTS that Inter Milan have made an approach for Liverpool FC’s Dirk Kuyt are wide of the mark.

The Dutchman’s agent Rob Jansen was today quoted as saying the 31-year-old was considering “an attractive offer” from the Serie A outfit.

However, the quotes are a year old and relate to when Inter were chasing Kuyt last summer when former Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez was in charge at the San Siro.

Kuyt was left out of the Reds’ starting line-up for the opening day draw with Sunderland but was recalled for the victory at Arsenal.

Kenny Dalglish has made no secret of his admiration for Kuyt who is one short of 50 league goals for the club.

“Dirk is a fantastic player for this football club,” he said.

“He does work hard for the team, but then sometimes that work ethic disguises the ability he has got as well so don't forget he has got a fair amount of ability.

“It's fantastic for anyone to get 50 league goals for his club and that will be a great milestone for him when he gets it.”

Not surprised at that.

Dirk's going nowhere. He'll be a great squad player for at least the next two years despite his age.

Locked.
