Many.

im afraid if liverpool fans are sad to see dirk go you are being sentimental.fair enough some important goals and a big heart but he still isnt the calibre of player that we should have on our team.sames goes for 80per cent of the first team squad unfortunately.let dirk go he cant demand starts to stay thats total b******t even though i see his point.

Then let him go. If we sign a half-decent RM Kuyt won't get near this first XI. There's still Bellamy for bench duty, and if he and the new guy are both broken we can put Sterling on the left and Downing on the right.

I say let him go. Henry and co needs to show some ruthlessness with the those players who are old and not quite cutting it any more. I think every Liverpool fan appreciates Dirk's loyalty and service to the club however we need to start selling these players and continue building the team with better and younger players.

Kuyt has shown many times that he can still get the job done. Kuyt figured in the team that humiliated Real madrid, Man u and Aston villa and even this season he sealed the FA cup win against Man u and gave a stand out performance in the Carling cup victory. I would definitely keep the guy and play him in place of Henderson.

But that's the point. We sign a new RM. Henderson and Kuyt won't be needed there then. Backups are Bellamy and Downing.

It's no secret we need another wide player of some quality, and Kuyt and Henderson are not that player. We could retain Kuyt as a backup striker, but again we have Bellamy and hopefully someone from the youth side will get a game or two, once more making Kuyt surplus to requirements.

Right.

What to do with Dirk depends on what else we are planning in the transfer market.

If we don't buy a replacement for him then we need to keep him next season.

Remember that we have Thursday cup games in Europe, at least until Christmas. That will wear out the squad if it isn't deep enough.

I do hope we sign some good players though - for instance a RW, which would make me suggest we sell Dirk.

Personally at the moment Id have Kuyt and Suarez up front, but yeah I'd like to see Morgan get promoted to the first team.
But like van Gogh says, it depends what we do in the transfer market. If last years to go by I would rather us keep Kuyt.

Let's bear in mind that both kenny and DC have recently said that this summer will be relatively quiet in terms of transfers as they are happy with the squad. (mind you, they also said that it would take a very special player to be able to get into the current starting line-up!)

If I was J.Henry I'd make sure it was a quiet summer with the way those two have wasted his money haha, but anyway if there are no new signings I don't see how they think we are going to improve.
