Well he must be if he hasn't played in Spain.
His stats over the last 3 years in the Dutch league are very similar to Van Nistilroy's before he signed for Utd. If he scores half as many in England as RVN (he's costing about half what RVN cost Utd) I'll be happy.
ETA - 73 goals in 103 league games in last 3 seasons. Not the strongest league in Europe but not shit either.

Affects Shatner's Basoon
I see nothing in Kuyt that suggests he's even close to RvN's level. Kezman was always over-rated - Kuyt is better than him but nothing moer than a bit-part player IMO. The WC showed that he's simply not a top-level striker.
Huntelaar is a far better prospect.
The dutch league really is quite shit at the moment, more so than when Ruud played there. Have you watched any of it recently? Jesus wept the defending is comical at times. you;d see better positional sense down the park.
Part of that is because all the talent is leaving earlier for better clubs and other teams have cottoned on to the Ajax method of scouting.

"Some of Fowler's passing was Jari Litmanen esque at times and Gonzalez caught the eye with some brilliant dribbling. Brazilian Aurelio has the type of left foot you could open a can of beans with"

He was played out of position at the world cup, I think he'll slot in well with bellamy and be a better target man than Crouch. I can see him getting 15-20 goals a season easy.g force said:

Hmmm, not impressive at all. Let's hope this is the year of the Chelsea air disaster.

well, courtesy of Andy Johnson, one of them is up 1-0 at half time.
Suggestion: why doesn't that biased tosser Alan Green just get a job within his capabilities (cleaning Benites' specs) and stop pretending he isn't red shite scum through and through...

I'm just as bored as you seem to be. Most of them are probably returning from the game. I was listening to it on radio, but although the penalty was 'soft', it was a penalty. The ref said he gave it for intent. Not the best way to start the campaign, but this is how LFC like to start.
Disappointing result today but a few factors (not excuses) to bear in mind:
1.Of the starting 11 only Reina, Carra, Hypia, Riise, Gerrard and Bellamy would be first choice. I can only imagine the others were rested with the Haifa game on Tuesday in mind.
2.Riise and Carra were off injured within 35 mins.
3.Fowler has had 30 mins football in the last 3 weeks due to a knee injury. Strange choice by Rafa to play him today.
4.Blades were very up for it on the first day of the season. Early kick and live on Sky. Most teams would have struggled to win their today.
5.Liverpool and Villa were the only away teams not to lose in the Premiership today.

indeed: a victory for the working class! Whereas Shiver Fool getting a point was a set back
Isn't it a Liverpool rule to sometimes get dodgy results against 'shit newly promoted teams' (in the words of a scouse mate)? E.g. the 1-0 defeat to Watford a few years ago, or several to Leicester...
