before we all go out handing out cigars and popping champagne corks because players you hate maybe leaving. who is replacing all these so called duds? less than two weeks to the end of the transfer window. takeover has hit the rocks so no knew cash and no new players on the horizon. our already thin attacking squad is becoming thinner.
since January we have lost- Dossena,Voronin,Benayoun,Riera,Degan and now maybe Kuyt,Babel,Nemeth,
we have brought in(attacking) Cole, Jovanavic both for free.not alot really? where is the cover for Torres?
in my opinion all sales are servicing debt , another £7.5mil due in two weeks. are we really that nieve to beleive big signings are iminent? why do you think Rafa left? he had a meeting with Purslow and got the bad news. Yes agree mate - It's alright letting players go but it's 2 weeks till the deadline so I just hope some players are on there way pending. I just hope Roy knows what he's doing.

Dossena, Voronin, Riera and Degan were hardly players that needed replacing, they were no better than what have in the reserves already, in fact they were worse. Cole was a direct replacement for Benny so we've improved there. Jov has given us an extra option. We've also brought in Poulsen who I think may be able to do a very good job for us.
On the Kuyt front it would be a shame to see him go, I personally think he does do a job for us but if we do lose him I dont believe the money will go to service the debt.
Roy would not have taken the job if he thought his players were going to be sold with no replacements coming in. Rafa left for a variety of reasons, transfer kitty may have been one of the reasons but I think there would have been a number of other factors involved too.
What do you mean my birth certificate expired?

i hope you are right about new signings.
Vononin etc regardless how good the others were they were still options which we now do not have.
We know Torres gets injured alot, what if Ngog gets injured as well? most other teams have 4 striking options + youth. we have 1 + youth.

I think I will miss Dirk, he has a fantastic work rate and puts allot of pressure on defenses to push turnovers and has the energy to work both sides of the field helping our defense. He does also score and creates allot of havoc in the box allowing other scoring attempts. That was last season, this season I've noticed his energy is a little more focused, not just running wildly about, I think the coach may have influenced this.
Babel is still taking allot of grief from people, but he IS improving and getting goals-our only goals. He needs more game time and he is improving. Keep him.
As for Aqua, I think he is a good player, just to frail for our league and even at full health will never be able to compete. He should be great in Italy or Spain. Sell for cash IMO.

kuyt is a loyal harworking player.
Unfortunately he does not have pace, he lacks a first touch and a deadly pass.
I would ratehr we let him go now, and we bring in a fresh fast player
The sea, will be the sea, whatever the drops philosophy!

Dirk Kuyt will be a loss to the squad without a doubt. Always puts in everything he's got and has scored numerous vital goals in europe. I understand he isnt perfect and is frustrating at times for me due to a poor 1st touch, but lets say we got 7-9m for him who is that gonna buy who will give us what Kuyt does assuming the money goes to Roy to spend. Makes our squad weaker IMO. Now some might say SWP, Drenthe, Van Der Vart, Elia (who I also rate but think he would cost more) but are any of these gonna come in and make an immediate impact to warrant selling Kuyt, I doubt it.

For me you need more than guts, commitment and determination to play for our club, them sort of qualities should never been seen as a way of praising a player because they should be there as soon as he pulls on a red shirt. Kuyt at the end of the day has no pace, cant cross a ball and will never beat a man and I am afraid they are all things you need if you are going to play wide left or right. Kuyt for me is no more than a squad man and if we can get a good offer should be sold and the money used for either a quality wide man or left back, maybe both.
