It was just weeks after he said how honoured he was to have read the lesson at the memorial service, so I still want to hear from him what actually happened. The reporter who claimed he spoke to him was Paul Smith, who's about as low as you can get even among tabloid sports reporters, so I'm certainly not taking what he says as true. But Kenny's departure obscured the whole thing and it's left us with this nasty feeling about a player who always seemed a proper servant of the club. I'm amazed no Hillsborough group hasn't pressured the club to clear it all up - as happened in
the past - but until I know for sure I'll reserve judgement.

To me it's bloody odd - bloody bloody odd. It's hard not to be negative when someone does something like this, but as you say - it makes no sense. It's tough to give someone the benefit of the doubt, but as it is Dirk, I will wish him luck but still think it's f-ed up. So I guess I'm on the fence until someone confirms, or hopefully castrates Smith for his 'game' in, the episode.
 
Dirk was a great servant to the club. Despite his limited technical abilities he always gave more than 100%, which is more than can be said for a lot. He deserves a lot of respect, a lot more than some are giving him. I for one will never forget his commitment and his very important goals during the last 6 years.

The best of luck Kuyt, YNWA
 
I have no problem giving a selfless uncontroversial, loyal and model professional the benefit of the doubt. Good luck Dirk!

Top notch professional, scored some very important goals too
 
A damn fine player IMO, and a good pro and Liverpool man he clearly enjoyed playimg for us and never gave anything but his very best, that matters as much to me as does his sometimes quetionable first touch. Thanks Dirk, you will be missed.
 
He needed moving on but had some brilliant brilliant moments for us and gave me as a fan the first hat trick against utd.

Shame for a large part each season he was gash.

Hopefully we get a proper replacement
 
I think Portly has it right with Dirk.
Dirk is a fantastic example how you can lack football basics and make up for them through sheer hard work and determination.
Good luck Dirk never a fan , but I respected what you did.
Would never have fitted in with the new vision.
regards

He gave an interview with the shit rag. Doesn't matter what he said in it.

He also did a few interviews this season threatening to leave if he didn't get first team football, which were a bit unnecessary.

If Fenerbahçe don't get booted out of Europe again - there up to their necks in match fixing, corruption and links to organized crime, allegedly.

Sad, but I don't think Dirk has done this for footballing reasons, which is kind of strange. You would have thought Germany was the place to go.

Ah well.... thanks Dirk, good luck, bye.

Now let's sign some sexy creative fucker for the right.
 
'I think it's great for the club that they have finally announced the new manager,' Kuyt said.​
'From what I have heard from (Swansea goalkeeper) Michel Vorm, who is with me in the national team, he is a great manager and he told me he will be perfect for Liverpool and he will definitely lift the club up to a higher state.'​
Kuyt insisted the appointment of former Swansea boss Rodgers on Friday was not a factor in his decision to leave.​
'I would also like to say my decision to leave Liverpool was nothing to do with the new manager coming in whatsoever,' he added.​
​
​

The one and only: Kuyt won the League Cup with Liverpool - his only silverware in his six years at Anfield​
'I just had the feeling that I had to go somewhere else for a new experience after six years. I made the decision but it's not about the new manager. I have great memories from my experience with the club.​
'I'm sure Liverpool will improve under the new manager. Liverpool has a great squad of players and I'm sure with this manager they will do well. From the bottom of my heart I wish them all the best, wish the new manager all the best and I hope they will be very successful.'​
 
Report from Turkist press:

http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/fe...uyt--.aspx?pageID=238&nID=22277&NewsCatID=362


Fenerbahçe has signed Dutch forward Dirk Kuyt on a three-year contract from English giants Liverpool, according to a club announcement.

The Istanbul club reported yesterday that it had successfully concluded its talks with the Dutch marksman, who has spent six years with Liverpool.

According to Turkish media, Fenerbahçe will pay 1 million euros to Liverpool, as well as 7.5 million euros to Kuyt for three years.

Kuyt, who can either play up front or on the wing, is currently with the Netherlands, who are making their final preparations ahead of Euro 2012, which starts June 8.

Kuyt was a member of the Dutch side that lost 1-0 to Spain in the 2010 World Cup final.

The 32-year-old had 51 goals in 207 games at Liverpool, where he was a runner-up in the 2007 Champions League, 2009 Premier League and 2012 FA Cup. The only trophy he enjoyed with the Reds was last season’s League Cup.

Kuyt was the top goal scorer in the Dutch League with 29 goals for Feyenoord in the 2004-05 season.

That's about €52k/wk.

Meanwhile, according to English media, its £1m fee and £3 million a season (£62.5k/wk)
 
GL Dirk, you were a trooper.

Will miss your work ethics, your devotion and your vital goals. And your Superman costume.

A great servant in many ways but now was the time to move on obviously.
 
Cheers Dirk and good luck. Scored some important goals.

But did we really only get £1 million?
 
Bar the last couple of months a model professional.

He was an absolute essential part of Rafa's Liverpool and provided the hard running, hassle and desperate work rate that we required to make that system work. I've often wondered if it could have all turned out a little differently for Dirk. Not sure how many remember but his first match against the Chavs and he got the ball about 2 yards inside the area just on the right; glanced up and let go a right foot shot that just exploded off his boot. It went past Czech before he could raise his arm and cannoned into the bar before bouncing out. A couple of games later he started to show up on the right and I've often wondered if he'd made his entrance with a spectacular goal there would he have forced us to play him up front? He never really, for me, showed the confidence in front of goal that I expected of him given his displays in the Dutch league.

He was an easy whipping boy when things went bad; his touch was pitiful and he gave the ball away at times in schoolboy fashion. When we were playing well he didn't often get the plaudits but his work rate was as high as anyone I've seen in the last 20 years - Davids like. Hope he does well with Fener but, unlike Mark, his last couple of months really left a sour taste for me.
 
Just realised that Dirks first goal was in the game vs Newcastle that Alonso scored from our half. I was at that game. I saw Dirks first goal live. That makes me happy.

Just seen that on Premier League years.
Was a typical Dirk goal too.
 
I might be wrong, but I swear I've seen more ppl associated with the club giving interviews with the The S*n...

I'm sure I have, unless I was in an unstable frame of mind. hmmm
