Still not convinced, £10m is a total waste for a player we dont need.

Just seems silly when we could be strengthening the defence with English talent.

Don't see your point at all. Especially when the likes of Curtis Davies are being priced out of Arsenal's range and we've got young internationals in Agger and Paletta for less 8m quid. It's a good thing to have an English backbone, but quality is all that matters in the end. To say that we don't need another striker when Crouch has never been prolific on the domestic stage, Robbie's getting on and overcoming myriad niggles even during preseason, would be foolhardy. Yer having a laff if yer putting your faith in Bellamy to shoulder all goalscoring burden over the course of challenging on all 4 fronts. Bellamy has admitted too that he still harbours fears of being one bad injury away from another long layoff, which is hardly improbable, taking into account his medical history. Rafa's been after Kuyt for the best part of 2 seasons, I'd think he's on to something there.

Le Tallec has finally moved on to Sochaux and we're still not done on the transfer front as yet.

cos Hyppia aint getting any younger, and i feel we have all we need in attack. We've bought two first team or at least benched wingers in the form of Pennant and Gonzalez (WP), and we've signed Bellamy upfront. Hell, we've only had Fowler for a bit.

If we are gonna play a 4-4-2, then i understand completely. But personally, i reckon Rafa is eyeing up a midfield of Sissoko, Xabi Alonso and Gerrard, plus TWO wingers, similar to what Chelsea normally play.

If hes gonna play a 4-4-2, then i suspect he'll drop Pennant from the team, and use Gerrard, Xabi, Momo and Mark, which to me, doesnt give is a huge amount of width.

Agger will replace Hyypia eventually and i'll expect 20-30 games from his this season at least. We're tight at the back when it comes to depth Kromkamp/Finnan at RB Paletta/Agger/Carra/Sami at CB Riise/Aurelio at LB.

Rafa would never splash on Kuyt if he didn't think he was worth it. I've watched Kuyt plenty of times for Feyenoord and hes done well plus if Crouch was to get injured we have no cover for him i'm sure Kuyt could play his role if need be.

Now that we've got our priorities for this window I think we could do with a young CM.

Welcome on board mate. Back to the subject, i see that most people after the WC arent so keen as they were when it comes to Kuyt, but i think we should wait a bit before coming to conclusions such as "we've wasted money".

I'm glad we got Kuyt. Bit of a gamble, as we can't know if he'll adapt well to the English game, but there's no reason to think he won't. That said, Heskey was an English player who wouldn't have to adapt when we signed him...

People can't help but jump on any passing band wagons can they. Prior to the World Cup, I don't think I heard one bad word against Kuyt, now we're the other side, it seems like enough people can't slate him. Piss off and drink your magners (H)

Spot on la. Maybe that Moroccan lad, 19 if I'm not mistaken, will be next on the list. Creative, twinkle toe type, with unmistakeable hunger to prove himself. Rafa was asked about the former's impending arrival at Kuyt's unveiling but wasn't about to give anything away. France's media have it down as a done deal and SKY just about picked up on it as has the locals.

That kind of comment should go in the match thread

I was avoiding all contact with possible reports as I will see this later today in full not knowing the result. Then this appears in my inbox.

yeah, yeah, of course you will... I mean, look at the matches played so far, you haven't lost any official match this season, have you? With that record, I'd even say you're favs for the league, the FA Cup and the Champions League. :nape:

Not a very exciting result, but it's the first game of the season. I just hope we dont have a bad start yet again.
