European summer transfer discussion thread

Stoked to see Dirk Kuyt move to my Turkish side Fenerbaçhe for a paltry 1 million pounds!!

[remon tea]

Vertonghen to Spurs gathering momentum :D

Pretty sure that Modric will leave, and with that Van der Vaart will too.

I've always seen Kuyt as very underrated. Liverpool have always had Gerrard and now le cow suarez to overshadow him, he's quite impressive most games.

[remon tea]

Kuyt's valuation should be way north of 1m

Agree! No way Downing is 20 times as good as Kuyt ::)

[remon tea]

Ahaha cheered for the good call :P

If going by league goals and assists last season Kuyt should be worth infinite times more then Downing.

I am of the belief he is just a genuinely better player, you?

Kuyt definietly worth more than 1mill, but he looked pretty average this year I thought. Was batteling to keep up with the pace of the game, often getting caught out of position and turning over the ball alot... Still, if it wasn't for him we probably wouldn't have one the Carling Cup, and he's been a fantastic servant for many years.
We'll miss you Dirk  :'(


Oh, and I'm better than Downing... That man is awful. Just awful.

I quote from ESPN Soccernet on Downing

"Stewart Downing 3.5
A nightmare year. Downing cost £20 million and ended the Premier League campaign with fewer goals and fewer assists than the Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard"

I remember someone in a pretty elevated position in world football saying "If Downing were right-footed he'd be no-where near the England squad and in all likelihood playing in the championship."

Thats the adavantage of being dominantly left footed!  :(

Kuyts a work horse though! He will be missed, deffs a  better player than the likes of Downing and Maxi Rodriquez!

I've heard that last summers signing by Madrid of Altintop is going to turkey after a year of little opportunities.

The exact reason why Hazard decided Chelsea over Madrid and Barca.. They are too rigid with selection to ever change it round and give others a chance. Unless you are a star player of course..

Yeah I've noticed that Both Barça and Madrid will have many young players whom never get any games, and even though Barca use all their youth players they still have a few Brazillian players whom never get a game and are loaned out. Then Barca are confused as to why they want to terminate their contracts early.
