The enigma of Kuyt has been around for quite a while but I think the last match has solved the mystery for me. The solution, is that he has to go this summer.
I remember think the same thing about Luis Garcia before he left. Both players, would be horrible for long stretches of the game or season and then would score a vital goal or make a crucial pass.
Kuyt is like that crazy girlfriend. The one that you despise as a person most of the time but when you think you are ready to walk away she gives you that crazy good sex that just makes you think, "Hold on, I think we can make this work." You know deep down that you need to be with that girl that may not want to have a threesome with you and her best friend but also won't set your balls on fire while you're sleeping.
I used to think that Dirk's versatility was good enough to keep him as a squad player but I think that being equally crap in multiple positions is not much of a selling point these days. His failings were acceptable under Benitez because we played more of a counterattacking game. But Kenny is trying to play a more possession pass and move style. Dirk does not have the ability to do this.
He is keeping some of our young guys from coming through. I am certain Pacheco or Suso would not have played that through ball to Suarez straight into the defenders feet.
If we don't sell soon, his value will deminish greatly. Lets get 8 Million for him and put it toward a guy like Hazard or Podolski.
