yep, and a bargain at 6 million . Wonder who rafa plays up front though, his team selection was crap last season because he always picked Morientes etc. Fowler and Bellamy first choice.

Trezeguet on loan?

6 million pounds? dollars? euros?

Pounds

I heard we were buying Trezeguet along with Camorinasi. I just hope Camorinasi doesn't applaude the crowd everytime he gets sent off

 

[Julius Ross]

I hope we get trezeguet...caz imo the names Crouch, Bellamy, Fowler & Pongolle certainly dont send shockwaves through opposition...well not in the way that Rooney and Henry do

 

[Lean]

Please, not Trezeguet. We need game winners, not chokers.

 

[newbie original]

I think that the price tag on Trezeguet is 2 million Euros which should be fine for us...Camoranesi would be the more needed player, but I can't see him coming.

Reds deny Kuyt transferJul 18 2006
By David Prentice, Liverpool Echo


LIVERPOOL are "mystified" by reports claiming they are on the brink of landing Feyenoord striker Dirk Kuyt.

Morning newspaper reports claim the Reds are on the brink of landing the Dutch international for £10m.

But Liverpool have not renewed interest in the player since their only bid to date - a player plus cash offer - was rejected.

Feyenoord want a straight-cash deal for their top scorer, but with the Reds still keen to land Seville's Daniel Alves, they will not sanction a fee in excess of £10m.

Feyenoord set Liverpool a deadline of last Sunday to meet their demands - a deadline the Reds allowed to pass with no fresh approach.

Kuyt himself is desperate to resolve his future, and failed to turn up for pre-season training yesterday - when a new team picture was taken without him on it.


But if Liverpool is to be his eventual destination, Feyenoord will have to lower their demands significantly.


Reds chief executive Rick Parry, meanwhile, says the club's plans to move to a new stadium are on course.


The Reds must prove they have raised £160m for the 60,000-capacity ground in Stanley Park by the end of July or face losing £20m in development grants.


Parry said: "There is a lot of work going on and the situation is coming to a head.


"It is something we are determined to bring off. Too much work has gone into it for us to fail at this hurdle."


* Antonio Barragan's £1.7m Deportivo La Coruna move is almost complete.

I hope you guys don't take Alves from us, and I'm pretty sure it won't happen...

Also is Mark Gonzalez playing for Liverpoool next season? He was very good last season with Real Sociedad. And one last thing, how come Barragan was sold so early?

Ye, Goonzalez got a work permit a dew weeks ago.

 

[Silencer]

According to Dutch newspapers and internetsites Kuyt will be presented this week by Liverpool Curious to know what's true or not..
I wouldn't mind you guys taking Kuyt away from them, that would really cripple Feyenoord for sure

 

[newbie original]

We need a 4th striker....it is a MUST! Would've wanted a proven veteran in Trezeguet but if it is Kuyt, then so be it......he's young and will learn.

 

[Best's_cadaver]

We do need a 4th striker but not Dirk Kuyt. He was horrible in the WC and i really doubt we need another type of striker with Crouches characteristics.

 

[Kibe Kru]

Diouf was awesome in 2002 World Cup, never did great for us, did he?

The Holland man would be welcome.

 

[Best's_cadaver]

I actually am not too much concerned with his WC performance mate, but as i mentioned above we have Crouch. There is no need for a second tower up front. I would look elswhere for that striker.

I'm quite confident that Alves will sign for us eventually, but we shall see. Barragan was homesick; we inserted a buyback clause in his transfer just in case. He's been doing very well for the ressies and I was quite gutted to hear he couldn't settle in the area.

 

[Julius Ross]

I wouldn't mind having Kuyt at the club at all, as long as he could convert his high scoring in Holland to the Premier League, but wateva happens i believe we need to definately buy a fourth striker....

 

[Silencer]

Well most of the Dutch think that Kuyt is better overall than Crouch no offense Kuyt scores a lot of goals for sure but he is also a good skilled player and dangerous in every position upfront. Man I can't believe I just wrote this as an Ajaxfan :boohoo: but the fact of the matter is, Kuyt will be an asset for any team. Sure the WC was dissapointing but he didn't play much to really grow into it and during the preliminary games and the qualifications he did really well and scored some goals for us as well.
If he stays in Holland will be fine too, we going to be champions anyway

I get your point, but we need a striker that can score, and he seems like a good buy. GOD is, well... GOD, but injure prone. Welsh midget has attitude problems that may harm his game *knocks wood*. Robot's goal scoring has been patchy at best. Sure, buying a foreign player means the player will have to adapt, but overall I believe him to be a good buy if the price is right. Better than Trez, imho.
