Looks like he could be gone at the end of the season.

Yep, I'd lose half the squad before I lost Dirk. I'd like to see him finish his career with us, but he wants to play football and Dalglish will not give it to him.
I really do find it hard to fathom how the possible sale of Johnson and Kuyt will improve our team. For all Kuyts limitations he is a cracking player IMHO.
Has he really been poor this season?!
Hes been benched and barely played the majority of it as Kenny persisted with the hapless Henderson.
Itd be a massive mistake to ship him out for a few million - he won us the cardiff final after all.
I doubt we'd get big money for him and i also doubt we will bring anyone in who will make his position their own, football is now a squad game and we need players like Dirk if we are to be competitive.

Dirk Kuyt's agent has moved to play down reports linking the Liverpool striker with a move to Roma.
The 31-year-old has been a bit-part player under Kenny Dalglish this term, starting just 19 games, and there are rumours his six-year association with the club could soon be over.
Roma have been linked with the Dutch striker and so have his former club Feyenoord in Holland, but the player's adviser insists he would ideally like to remain on Merseyside.
"He would prefer to stay at Liverpool," Rob Jansen told Algemeen Dagblad.
"If that is not possible there is a big possibility that he would decide to choose a new foreign adventure.
"If he did ever return to the Netherlands, then it would 100 per cent be for Feyenoord. I am going to Liverpool in the next 10 days to talk to them about Kuyt."

i really think we have to be more ruthless dealing with players aged 28-30 in the future. a couple of years ago we probably could've got £15m or so for Kuyt, now they're talking about £1m (even wihtout the clause probably no more than £5m). so we've effectively paid around £5m a year (exc. wages) for him since 2010. to put that into some sort of perspective, say (just say) we'd signed Hazard back then as an 18 yr old for £25m, over 10 years to his 28th birthday he'd cost just £2.5m a year, and that's before any kind of residual value is deducted.
people would do well to remember the lesson before getting too outraged at the suggestion of selling an ageing but still valuable Glen Johnson. we're all accountants now, you know. 😉

We've wasted far more on much younger players lately.
So who do you want?
If you're telling me how it doesn't work I'd have to guess that you reckon you know how it does. Kuyt doesn't seem to be earning above his value. All the money wasted lately has been on huge transfer fees for buckets of steaming piss.
He's not gone yet and you've already decided who we've signed and they're crap. Your bias is showing.
For the million quid we'll get for Dirk or for the 3.5 freed up by his wages? I don't think there would be any possibility of improving that squad position next season if that's what we're on about. If not, please make it clear, otherwise I'll say Messi.
2 wrongs don't make a right. i don't like our transfers in any more than you do, but never signing or selling anyone again is hardly the solution. changing who made those decisions in the first place might be.
I'm talking about Carroll, Henderson and Downing, not some as yet unspecified player.
Thank you. No interest whatsoever in being anything other than negative. At least you're being open about it.
