Gosh kuyt and now maxi.. I don't disagree with letting them go. But.. These players would both fit well into BR's system, especially Maxi. We really now need to replace these players, and its not going to be easy to replace the quality they had with the price we sold them at on top of the players we need.
Big changes were needed though so hoping these are the right decisions.
I personally thought Suarez worked well with Maxi and Bellamy.

He just went up again in my book and I know its PR, but f*ck me it nearly hit me at the end! I would've welled up had I not been the toughest [oops] on the planet.
Didn't really speak much English, but you can tell he had a go in that letter.
Adios Maxi! You know how to leave a football club......Unlike some!
In a way I'm glad we've moved Maxi and Dirk on. Dirk more so than Maxi if I'm honest, because although Maxi didn't do a lot, he'd always pop up at the back post for a tap in. Dirk just faded really really badly for me, unfortunate they had to go.
But that's football.

I think when a manager like BR comes in and promises a complete overhaul, it was always likely that we'd lose some players that we might rather keep. I'm going to try to be optimistic on this one and say that Kuyt and Maxi were both on the wrong side of 30, both past their best, and neither would really have fit in with BR's system (they're not wingers with pace, not really midfield creators, not really strikers). That being said, I wish Maxi nothing but the best. He always put in a good shift, made the most of his limited opportunities, and represented the club well. The open letter was actually a really nice gesture, and he'll be assured of a warm reception if he ever returns.

These 'open letters' that come up every now and again.......are any of them ever genuine or is it just something made up by bored fans? I never see them anywhere else except for on fan forums, which would isn't the most likely place a player would communicate with the fanbase.

I agree, but Maxi couldn't speak the language very well, and I believe he tried his best with that little piece.
I don't think anybody else did it. It was from him, by him.

Obviously we need quality replacements because these were two of the three players who ensured Dalglish got his contract (the 3rd being Suarez, of course), but we need people who will have an impact every game, and last season that couldn't be said for either player. Liking the look of Borini though - 21-year-old full international with EPL experience? I'll take that.

Maxi you did great for Liverpool. Thanks for all the goals, your constant smiles and wonderful enthusiasm. Your positive effect on the dressing room must have been worth a couple of million in itself. Technically you're in a different league to Henderson, Downing and several others who cost far more. Cheers mate and best of luck for the future.
