The Dirkilizer is a legend. But for 10m I wouldn't even think twice about it. The club comes before sentiment, and the fact is that Dirk's form is more variable than it has ever been. He will always give 100% effort, and he will have runs of games where he plays a big part, and scores goals. He's had a dreadful few months, and whilst I'd back him to find better form during the season, I think we do need to think about a replacement. To get the amount we paid for him after 5 years service is a no brainer. Sorry Dirk.

Yes, if we buy well.

But some caution is good, since we rarely do.

Quite. It's easy just to assume we'll get someone better. We rarely do though.

Yes, take it. We need to start being more ruthless at moving players on at the right time. It's what we used to do in the glory days, after all.
[/quote]

This is what most sane people should be thinking. No room for sentiment. £10m for him at this stage of his career would be an amazing offer.
 
[quote author=Whitey85 link=topic=47790.msg1438034#msg1438034 date=1323086348]
Keep him so long as he wants to stay unless he fancies one last challenge like Hyypia did. Same goes for Carra, Gerrard and Reina. The younger lads will learn loads from these top pros.

Sell and we lose some identity, lack leaders and become another Arsenal.

Keep them and let their know how helps others around like Ferguson has done at United with his senior long serving pros.
[/quote]


Whoa, whoa, when has Reina began an oldie? He's 29! Still spritely for a keeps.


BTW, keep Kuyt for this summer. Need a little stability in the club.

I really don't see the point of threads like this. As the Torres saga has highlighted, selling a player is only a positive move if you replace him successfully, regardless of how much cash you get for them.

That said, 10M for Dirk as this stage in his career would be an offer we should refuse.

It's a spider-neil thread. Just answer it (which you've done) and move along.
 
I seconded the opinion of keeping him as an influential veteran presence. Maybe I'm being too soft but what will ppl or players make of us if the approach for our players in their thirties is "sell as long as good offer comes in"? Like I said, I might be too soft but I think its a bit of burning bridges. :-[ I'm all for making good business decisions (but are we sure we want to look at this as a reason? Henderson, Carroll ahemm) and profits for good purpose but the approach surely has to differ according to personnel and for Kuyt, I'd say its a no.

Besides, his contract expires at the end of next season - i.e. can't see such a big offer coming in and since its baring 1.5 yrs left, I'd prefer a nicer send off.
 
I really don't see how anyone would fork out 10 mil for Kuyt at this stage of his career.

He will leave for about half that, and it will be fair business.

typo?
 
You're damn right I'd take it, and if anyone of a rational mind give it more than a moment's thought then they should too.

He'll be on top wages now after renegotiating his contract twice over the years. He seems to be in a bit more than a dry spell in front of goal now. His legs are due to go, and he's never been the fastest anyway. We need long term cover for the right, and we've also probably had the best of him. Anything like £10M in the summer and we'd be fools not to take it.
 
I would take the cash. Kuyt is coming to the end of his career now and isn't as effecdtive as he use to be.
 
Indeed. Maybe I'm overly romantic/nostalgic but he should finish his career here.

Considering I think almost every footballer is a cunt, Dirk is a huge exception, and it should finish on his terms.

Back off or I'll start a "how much should we sell Shelvey for?" thread.
 
So this is what it has come down to?
Putting a price on a club icon.
So what next?
Gerrard for £15m (his career is practically finished you know)
Carra for £5m (an overrated hoof merchant)
Kenny?
When Chelsea come knocking for their next manger perhaps we could screw them for £20m compensation.

Who says the club has lost it's soul? ???

Stands beside Themn with pitchfork in hand.
