I'm not entirely sure what point modo is trying to make. if his point is we need better players in wide positions that offer more craft and guile then I 100% agree. if modo is saying he is okay with players being more skillful so get a 'pass' with putting in a shift, then I don't agree with that, at all.
I also agree with modo that it's a bit rich oncy having a go at the suggestion of kuyt being dropped when oncy HIMSELF dropped kuyt when discussing the merits of new players for our team.

Here's how it started:
Kuyt's performances have been up and down the entire season. He's often great at home but poor away. Now we've got the result vs Man City in recent memory so I guess he's the best forward in world right now but I bet it'll be back to status quo in the next game.
Point is, we need another winger, preferably someone that is quicker and has better ball control and dribbling than Kuyt. I'm not saying that he isn't good enough to start next season but we must strive to get better players. Don't forget he's 31 years old in July.
Reply:
Kuyt is the quinessential big game player.
He may give the ball away, have a crappy first touch but he always turns up, gives 100% and scores in the big games.
My reply:
Can't give a flying fuck about giving a 100%. You'd probably do the same if you for some reason signed for Liverpool. It's the end result that counts and showing up in big games isn't enough.
So to reiterate: I think Kuyt is too inconsistent and his work rate doesn't make up for it.
That's all.

step back from the arguement for one second and read this back to yourself;
