Kuyt to Inter

[Russ Atmosphere]

£10m, about the price of Turan then who would love to sign for the club.

 

Ideal scenario.

[shaunstrudwick]

He's not worth anymore than 10M, probably closer to 6-8M. He is 30 has zero pace etc etc

 

£10m is good

 

also would be interested to know what Inter players are being mooted as part of any player plus cash deal

[Redder Lurtz]

Eto'o or fuck off.

[escapepods]

10million for Kuyt!? Yes feckin please. Thats huge money for a player who has no pace, approaching the tail end of his career, cant control a football and has poor delivery. Bite the hand!

[Thants]

No

[RobbieOR]

I fear for Thants's safety if this goes through.

[House of Dirk]

Absolutely not.

[escapepods]

Anyone who thinks Kuyt will be a huge loss is deluded! He doesnt bring anything special to the team. So friggin what if he works hard. I appreciate that, but Jay Spearing would work even harder. Working hard isnt something special, all players should work hard. Kuyt doesnt have anything special about him

We know your thoughts. No need to repeat them.

[Cardie]

 

You need to subtract Kuyt's wages from the £60K.

 

Purslow doesn't by the sounds of it.

Don't ruin this with common sense.

[Lopez Ufarte]

I for one would hate to see Dirk leave. No he's not technically gifted, but he makes up for it with bags of heart and important goals. Anyone who doubts his qualities and his contribution should watch Liverpool v Spurs last season. We should be asking well over £10m for him in my honest opinion., £12-15m. If he does go I suspect there is something in the Brian Ruiz rumour that is still doing the rounds.

Apart from 10+ goals a season and a decent number of assists from the right you mean.

[YNWA-Chappers]

He's not worth anymore than 10M, probably closer to 6-8M. He is 30 has zero pace etc etc

 

But is one of the leagues most consistent players, probably one of the first names on our team sheets and had a fairly decent World Cup. If we sell Dirk for 10m we need looking at. For 10m we won't be able to get a player that works anywhere near as hard for us as Kuyt. Look at the Riera sigining - 11m of dross!

 

NO SELL!

Don't take this personally but your reputation states you are a massive tool.

[Cardie]

 

Don't ruin this with common sense.

 

'common sense' would be the transfer fee you receive is the transfer fee you can spend on a replacement. We obviously don't subscribe to that idea and have instead decided that the transfer fee you receive is the value (minus wages) you can spend.

 

As I said earlier it's a genius system that ensures the club can make a profit on player sales and not plough much money back in while giving the perception that they're backing the manager. That is of course when 'any fee's from player sales' is actually stuck too and they don't start changing the rules (see benayoun)

[PaulMcC]

If we sell someone, we don't seem to take the wages saved in to account when it comes to signing a replacement.

 

The wages saved magically disappear.

I see the point of it. But I don't agree with it. We've no proof of it have we? Don't see how a manager could agree to work in those conditions to be honest.

Welll, they can't really but they have to try to work in them conditions. It happened last summer and will happen to Hodgson as well.

[Byrnie]

No fucking way, Dirk is going nowhere.

[Welsh]

I'll be gutted if Dirk leaves, regardless of what most say, he will be a huge loss for us.

 

Although saying that, if we can get Santon for p/exchange I'd be very happy.

[GJM]

Kuyt left out of euro game so Dutch journo digs up some quotes (when did his agent say this, recently??) to construct a story.

 

You can almost see the sellotape and elastic bands holding that together from here.

[Anubis]

I'll be gutted if Dirk goes. As for the £10m, yes that's all fine and dandy, but will Hodgson see a penny of it (given the Benayoun money somehow didn't find its way in to Purslow's super duper player piggy bank) and how much will he have for an actual transfer fee once you take the wages element into account? Because it won't be £10m.

You're special.
