		<description>agree with goose: the balance is really important,so wee need both kuyts and seedorfs. hardworkers are always welcome in a team (my only one problem with him that he&#039;s a striker - he should be a holding midfielder!)</description>

		<description>haha, stupid mistake i made there..sorry ferenc

Always a great fan of Kuyt, i know his technic is not that great but we have plenty of players who have a great technic, but they all lack the hart that Kuyt has.. everwhere he went he became a crowd favo., he walks 12 marathons each game and lets other strikers perform
agree that he should score more in the Pr.Leg. (thats why im so glad that when i went to see Liv. play v Villa he actually scored and scored on the side where i was seated..i went totally mad in my orange shirt and all the liv. fans were looking at me as if i were crazy, haha)

in the end i think we need players like Kuyt, we cant have all primadonnas!!

And he looks very dutch so thats a pre aswell, haha

		<description>It&#039;s funny. I saw Kuyt make his debut at 17 years old for FC Utrecht and I saw what you describe. A lot of running, not a lot of skills. But at Utrecht and later for Feyenoord, he changed into this smart, savvy leader. Scoring fine goals, always leading the pack, with smart openings and a good brain. So I figured I was wrong. Most people who work(ed) with him praise him for his intelligence, van Marwijk, Koeman, Van Basten and now Gerrard and Benitez... So, are we wrong or are they &quot;covering&quot; up their scouting mistakes :-)?</description>

		<description>I will have to agree a little bit with stephen about kuyt.. his best attribute seems to be his work rate, not his skill.. his skill seems just average, but he does work hard and manage to create opportunities for his teammates.  He needs to score more though.

@goose:  ferenc wants Drenthe to go to Catalunya (Barcelona), not  (Deportiva de la) Coruña.</description>

		<description>No problem Jan, it&#039;s Kevin-Prince by the way.

A bit off the subject, but I have watched several Liverpool games from last year(my oldest son is a Liverpool fan), and I&#039;m sorry to say, but Kuyt is not very good. His first touches are horrible, and his passing is average at best. He just runs around like a dog, and I guess that gets attention because coaches like the effort, but otherwise he seems to me to be pretty much lousy. Sometimes you need to work smarter and not harder. I think Oranje is in pretty bad shape if he even comes close to making the first 11. It&#039;s nothing personal, it&#039;s just what I see on the pitch. I never saw him play at Feyenoord, so maybe it is adjusting to a new league, but it is almost embarrasing to watch sometimes.</description>

		<description>OOPS!!! SO much professional football players named Boateng are there already?!?!?! My bad guys. Didn&#039;t have a lot of time, wanted to feed you some news, saw the headlines and now this...

I will go and flog myself now... :-)

Soon to be published here: interview with Robin v Persie.

And please, keep on posting that I was wrong about Boateng, even if the first comment already stated it ;-)</description>

		<description>Excellent goal by van persie. 

I think he will be the best player of the world some day, he has everything. His left foot is a killer and he can create danger from nothing.

Feyenord is asking for a lot of money, they have to realise that Drenthe hasn&#039;t been at international level, he hasn&#039;t played at professional level for many years so they can&#039;t ask for that money. But I think it would be better for him to stay with feyenord for another year and learn from the experienced players.</description>

		<description>@lars; yeah great goal, somebody posted it on this blog already..grear move, expect a lot from vanPersie (esp. with Henry gone)

@stephen; yeah, think its the one great advantace we have as a minor competition..we can be the learning ground for great players, even after the Bosman arrest..we had Romario, Ronaldo, all the great dutch players..the competition is difficult enough to take serious and easy enough to let young players learn their trade, think its one of the reasons so many young dutch players (24-25) are a succes in other competitions, theyve had time to learn how to play..its a real problem for young english players, they get to play in one of the best competitions right away with all that foreign competetion

@ferenc; why should Drenthe go to Depor?? interesting choise.remember when Makaay did his thing there?? think its great to have such a great striker back in Holland..hell make 20 at least!

		<description>Pelle seems like a smart kid. Go to Holland, learn from the Dutch masters-namely Van Gaal &quot;the best coach in the world&quot; and then move back to play for the big clubs in Italy, better prepared. I wish some of our jong oranje were that smart. It&#039;s ok to stay in the Eredivisie until you are 22-23 and then make your move at 23-25. Makes good sense to me. But as we all know, money talks.</description>
