Kuyt in swap deal for Hammers star?

Published by Redneck on January 23, 2008



Under-pressure Rafa Benitez is reportedly becoming increasingly frustrated with the lack of goals from £10million Dutch (miss)hit-man, Dirk Kuyt, and is lining-up a swap-deal involving West Ham United striker Dean Ashton (pictured).

A potential stumbling block for a deal to go ahead is the Hammers’ valuation of Ashton, thought to be in the region of £17million, but Rafa has several players at his disposal that he is willing to off-load in a multiple swap-deal.

Norwegian John Arne Riise, who has struggled for form this season, is also a target for Newcastle’s Kevin Keegan, but more importantly, Hammers boss, Alan Curbishley is understood to be a keen admirer of the ginger-winger and could pave the way to broker a deal during the January transfer-window.

Momo Sissoko is also waiting in the Anfield departure lounge but the Mali International wants to ply his trade (which is apparently playing football) in Italy.

    IF ONLY….

  2. james on Wed, 23rd Jan 2008 8:52 pm 

    No one in the premiership would want Kuyt or stevie wonder in midfield, although the sheer optimism of your thinking does deserve some credit.

  3. IstanbulHammer on Wed, 23rd Jan 2008 8:53 pm 

    Are you kidding? Why would you think for 1 minute that we would want Kuyt? Is it April Fools’s Day already? Kuyt must be one of the worst of many bad signings by Benitez and one of the reasons why Benitez has proved that after 3? years he still knows nothing about the Premier League. On the other hand we do have a spare corner flag that we could swap for him. I think they have about the same mobility.

    More rumours that will come to nothing in this stupid january window

  5. WSXHAMMER on Wed, 23rd Jan 2008 9:16 pm 

    Only if Benitez includes Torres in the deal!

  6. Redneck on Wed, 23rd Jan 2008 9:17 pm 

    lol can’t see a deal going through with or without Torres as Kuyt is a dead duck who needs to sit in the ressies for a couple of months.

    Just like the good ‘ol days when new signings sweated it out with the reserve team to learn how to play the “liverpool way” instead of being chucked in at the deep-end straight away!

  7. sfauts on Wed, 23rd Jan 2008 9:18 pm 

    Stupid scousers!!!

    How can you afford server costs on the giro?

    Ashton would only leave for a BIG club, not some 4th place wannabes!!

  8. Redneck on Wed, 23rd Jan 2008 9:31 pm 

    lol your a fookin’ tool mate ;)

  9. Bob on Wed, 23rd Jan 2008 9:55 pm 

    come on now lads one more steward at the park aint gonna matter, thats all Kuyts fit for

  10. NOBBY on Wed, 23rd Jan 2008 9:56 pm 

    kuyt is not in the same league as ashton do me a favor!!

  11. gazza on Wed, 23rd Jan 2008 10:20 pm 

    hammer would only take kuyt , riise and voronin
    for ashton i know that so just kuyt is crap

    hammers want more

  12. merv on Wed, 23rd Jan 2008 11:03 pm 

    Oh please please please let it be through, let the liverpool graveyard come to our rescue again!!! although i don’t even think the glue factory would take kuyt from us at this stage even with a few million thrown in by us!!! heres to blind hope though.. cotp!

  13. Denis mcallister on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 12:06 am 

    I agree, only if torres is in the deal.

  14. inallseriousness on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 12:12 am 

    we won’t be selling any of our first team players this january. the well-pulicised injuries at west hame mean that we have to stick with those first team players that have actually slightly gelled in our injury-forced chop-and-change team this season.

    we’d only swap ashton for someone who’s scores loads of goals. and if you had someone who scores loads of goals, you wouldn’t be swapping them for ashton.

  15. The Rooster on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 8:02 am 

    Ashton isnt going anywhere, Its all just rumours.. it will fade out soon.

  16. REDJ on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 9:54 am 

    Kuyt would fit in well with west ham (swap 4th place wannabes for mid table relegation no bodies)even west ham supporters don`t want to play for you, your just a feeder club. So if the reds do come calling west will do what they always do bend over and take it.

  17. Bulgarian Hammers on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 10:28 am 

    It’s a joke .Kyut worst foward ever play in Premiership.For Torres maybe.

  18. rundlc on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 10:31 am 

    lol u twat torres is worth more than your whole team.any manager in the premiership at this moment would cut there left hand off for him hes number 1.jus becuase liverpool are playing poor at the moment be aware that they will come back stronger

  19. sahhhmyy on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 10:35 am 

    lol for torres maybe ??????? u idiot u may as well say dean ashton for c.ronaldo sounds the same

  20. Bulgarian Hammers on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 10:35 am 

    We will see on 30.01 and 5.03

  21. Lorne on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 10:43 am 

    There’s a very realistic chance of West Ham doubling Liverpool this season. If that happens, Hammers will be pretty much level on points. So in April there could very easily be four or five sides challenging for 4th, 5th and 6th spot. I think any salient Liverpool fan must be a little nervous of the likes of Everton and Aston Villa pinching 4th place. As for West Ham, the best for us this season is 7th - 9th. Finishing above Spurds would be quite an achievement. Liverpool will struggle now, and finish 5th.

  22. flyboy on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 10:44 am 

    your pricks above. westham are a shit mediocre team that struggles every season u say we r shit 4th place team u noobers.we having a bad time but are still 1 of the best teams in the world fact.could u ever see westham sitting nice and high in the league or perhaps even getting into the champ league ??? nope didnt think so u fuking wankers

  23. rundlc on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 10:47 am 

    wow u guys u might get close to the points of liverpool this season that must be like winning the cup to u .like the guys said above be aware livepool will only bounce back even stronger

  24. sahhhmyy on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 10:49 am 

    liverpool fans plz dont get angered by this rubbish talk.every fag supporter and team wants to poke at us when we r on our knees.this always happens liverpool always get through it and then they always end up stuffing them all so jus be patient and let the storm past.

  25. Lorne on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 10:54 am 

    Words of wisdom there flyboy. My you lot have a great way with words. The reason why West Ham are better than Liverpool is because we stick with them through thin and thin. We never win anything and we accept that. But we do have fun. And massive loyal support. Oh but I forget, Liverpool own football don’t they?! Arrogant and ignorant cvnts. No wonder everyone hates you, more that Chelsea and Man Utd. I suppose with Man Utd being top of the table and Everton in 4th it must make you cry into your dole cheques!! You are thick. Ugly. Sad and lonely. Go get a job, and a life. Grow up and move on, “Football’s more important than life or death” wise words from a stupid Jock inciting you lot to turn up to semi-finals without tickets, drunk and forcing your way in…IDIOTS

  26. flyboy on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 11:09 am 

    wow i have affected u bad havent i.i mean calling some 1 a cunt or wanker is 1 thing but u really are bitter arnt u. face it cunt u never gonna win nothing all the time u r wasting the oxygen.u know liverpool are the greatest too i can see it

  27. rundlc on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 11:11 am 

    lol lorne u now look like a cunt have u read your post u r winging like alittle bitch about football but why do i sence u r red in the face whilst typing i think flyboy has beat u hahahahhahaha go flyboy go

  28. sahhhmy on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 11:17 am 

    the reason why westham are better than liverpool?????? stop stop u have gone way to far kiddie now fuk off this forum that was some speech have there lorne

  29. Ringo on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 12:00 pm 

    It’s funny watching people have a go at kuyt. I admit that he’s had some trouble with his form this season, he’s been unlucky. But I believe he was our best player last season, he’s a real good player. And I guess he can score goals, just look at his goal record from the Eredivise.

  30. Red on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 12:12 pm 

    THIS IS KOPTALK RESURRECTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    HOW’S IT GOING DUNC?

  31. REDJ on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 12:23 pm 

    Don`t blame us Lorne because you support a sh1t team. your a cockney so you can change to man u i`m sure you would here a lot of familiar accents.And come on Lorne your from the east end of london what a sh1t hole thats why there clearing it for the olympics and nobody minded

  32. BW POSITIVE on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 12:52 pm 

    POINTLESS discussion on two grounds. FIRST and foremost, Ashton ISNT going to land of the thieves because he is joining us, Newcastle United. Secondly, Liverpool are fcked. Your USA “owners” have turned your beloved scouse brand into a sweatshop to finance their american interests. You will SELL before you buy. HENCE a swap and Rafa going official. West Ham would do better to do business with a team like us who would pay the chaps what they DESERVE for Ashton, around 14m CASH UPFRONT. Because we HAVE THE MONEY. You lot, rob your own captains house when he bursting a belly for your club in europe. hahahaha….ohhhh those angry scousers. I like west Ham, I dont like scouses. To think your on the same level as man utd is just incredible ! GET FCKIN REAL. YES, you won the league in 91, but so did leeds, blackburn around that time, and we were sooo close too. Liverpool have 3 REAL quality players in Gerrard, Carragher and Torres. The rest are total AVERAGE. Crouch, Kuyt, Pennant, kewell, alonso, benyoun, etc.

  33. Redneck on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 1:10 pm 

    lol you’d love all those AVERAGE players to join Keegan and his revolution…?

    I say YOU’D LOVE IT!! :D

  34. Looby on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 1:10 pm 

    I always thought that the spammers were Colchester united’s feeder club.

  35. bloody limey on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 1:30 pm 

    What an interesting rumour, no doubt the product of some teenage scousers’ daydream, looking back fondly at the days when Liverpool had strikers who actually scored goals…. In short, Rafa is a lame-duck manager who is punting his CV around Europe looking to jump ship, why would he even be thinking about buying players?

  36. baztop on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 1:36 pm 

    id swap kuyt for a headless chicken.
    1: it would do the same amount of running
    2: more chance of getting a goal from the chicken

  37. Jimbo on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 1:49 pm 

    lol baztop is funny lol

    hey only if its a free range chickin, dont want no more american breed fast growing chickens at anfield… thank you

    oh and hammers fans your right…

    why on earth would you sell one of your best players. I mean thats not your way is it….

    hmm lets play a game

    lets see how many we can get

    Joe Cole
    Carrick
    Lampard

    LoL

  38. Fred on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 2:31 pm 

    Jimbo

    Don’t be a silly boy. Cole, Carrick & Lampard were sold when we were relegated to compensate for the loss in revenue. A shame yes, but that was before we had the financial clout of our icelandic billionaire.

    I think Kuyt is actually half decent, just not a finisher. I actually can’t see anyone buying Deano at the moment as he is yet to prove his fitness after being out for well over a year.

  39. Jimbo on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 2:40 pm 

    lol

    yes i am aware of that, and in truth hated to see a good side broken up like that…

    And i agree Kuyt a very hard worker for the team and produces alot in many different areas,

    But the young Fowler, or Owen or Rush or Keagen would have put away the chances…

    He does not and so although i like his passion, he needs to show some class.

    Its no good haveing lots of average strikers in a side, you need strikers who will put it in the net 2 out of three times…

    anyway a question, how good is Dean anyway… havent seen much of him ?

  40. Fred on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 3:31 pm 

    Good question.

    How good is he? He is two footed and I mean genuinely two footed. His vision is excellent as is his first touch. He’s able to create chances out of nothing and shields the ball well. The only downside to hi game at the moment is he’s not all that quick, but I guess that will come with fitness. Being out for over a year and then again for six months means that we’ve by no means seen the best of him. Afterall, he’s still only 24.

  41. gazza on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 3:50 pm 

    redj is a twat
    liverpool got crap player apart from torres
    so shut the f**k up

  42. matthew on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 4:05 pm 

    your joking deano staying at west ham his the best striker theyve got ha bumchese

  43. steviebubbles on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 6:28 pm 

    What the hell u stupid scousers how much have u spent in the last 5 yrs 150m plus and u have bought some real shit 2. if we had the sort of money in the last 5 yrs we would of kept all the best players and 1 the prem bye now and kicked your sorry arse all over the park. hope u like uafa cup next year.

  44. 5and18 on Thu, 24th Jan 2008 7:57 pm 

    steviebubbles, I think you’ll find the winners now defend their trophy, so it wont be the uefa for us chap, not suprised you dont really know the rules of European comps though, I mean, why would you?

    P.S. Liverpool sign a west ham fans fav? never happen that would it!

    DICKS………..
