DIRK KUYT FINALLY JOINS LIVERPOOL FC



The transfer saga that has dragged on for 2 years finally finished today when Rafa got his man.

Liverpool have completed the signing of Dirk Kuyt from Feyenoord.
The Reds agreed a fee with Feyenoord for the striker on Thursday after weeks of talks with the Dutch club.
The 26-year-old has inked a four-year deal at Anfield after agreeing personal terms and passing a medical.
Liverpool beat a host of clubs including Newcastle to sign the Dutch international.
Anfield chief Rafa Benitez was delighted to make Kuyt his sixth signing of the summer and has tipped him to score goals in England.


He really does have an impressive goalscoring record 71 goals in 105 games for Feyenood, i know the dutch league is not the same quality as the prem but that is some goal tally. We have gone many years since we had a striker capable of scoring over 20 in a league season and Kuyt could be our man.......Rafa seems to see him as the final piece of the jigsaw.
