Any Dutch fans want to provide some insight on Kuyt ? He's been bandied about for years but he didn't exactly impress at the WC (not doubt due to Van Basten's formations) - my read is that he's a poacher and a good finisher, which is something we desperately need. |
Dirk Kuijt was a fan favorite with FC Utrecht (Forza Utreg, ole, ole!), then scored three goals in has last game for Utrecht against his already announced new team, Feyenoord, where he also became a fan favorite very quickly. He's a guy who fits with Liverpool's image, helping out everywhere where he can. He isn't as gifted with technical tricks like a Bergkamp, Robben or Van Persie, but Kuijt works really, really, really hard and just scores goals (20+ goals in each of the last four seasons in the Netherlands). Add in that he missed only one game in the last 5 seasons (being a meaningless last game of the season) and you'll always play. Do I also need to tell he made 10+ assists in each of his seasons with Feyenoord?
