Ridiculous numbers!
I had to double check just to make sure you hadn't made a mistake (8 years instead of 18).
He would have been absolutely perfect for us with Klopp in charge. Glad to see he's still playing well, and this season he seems to have gone crazy with his goals tally!

Add over 100 international apperances on top of that as well. The bloke is a machine and I have a feeling he'll make a great coach too.

Nailed on to manage Feyenoord at some point.

Player of the year in Holland? Well in Dirk.

A lotta talk about Gerrard joining the coaching staff at Melwood. Wouldn't mind Dirk having a role there as well. Bit similar to Kolo in that sense. Just a great personality to have around.

35 years old, 38 appearances, 23 goals. Eridivise Player of the Season.

When you look up the word professional and it references football there will be a photo of Dirk and Xabi.

He'll naturally fall into a management role in Holland.

Kuyt signs new Feyenoord deal (Source: Goal)

Quote

Dirk Kuyt has agreed a 12-month contract extension to remain at Feyenoord for the 2016-17 season.

The 35-year-old forward rejoined the Rotterdammers last year following spells with Liverpool and Fenerbahce and proved he had lost none of his predatory instincts with 19 goals in 32 league games as Feyenoord finished third in the Eredivisie and also claimed the KNVB Beker.

The former Netherlands international is pleased to have extended his stay.

He told the club's official website: "I'm glad that I am staying at this great club for one more year.

"The squad put together a very good season which ended with the cup triumph. If you've won a trophy you want more and we should go into next season with this feeling. I am excited and confident."

Feyenoord technical director Martin van Geel added: "We believe that Dirk will play a very big role next season on and off the pitch. It is also an important sign that he, as a leader, has confidence in Feyenoord."

Had a dream that we re-signed him on a free and felt delighted about it.

Will never forget the workhorse that he was, with more times than not a very good end product too. I think Klopp would have loved him.

Had the assist in the game on opening day which got them their winner as well if I recall. Beautiful header - turned as the ball was actually going away from him - laid it into the path of the attacking player who slotted it home.

£10m wasn't he. Bargain and he's still got it

BarryCrocker · « **Reply #251 on:** August 30, 2016, 12:48:52 pm »

Pity he's only got about 4-5 more years left in those legs.

Still can't believe after the understanding he showed with Suarez, Maxi and Meireles that we ripped that up to play to Andy Carroll's strengths.

Binomial · « **Reply #254 on:** August 30, 2016, 04:01:35 pm »

Still think selling him was a mistake, especially for 1m...

I know it's only the Dutch League but it's good to see him banging them in.

The Anfield Wrap have an interview with Dirk up on the site today. They spoke with him after he bagged those two goals at the weekend. I think he'll always have a place in the hearts of most Reds.

A modern footballer who is humble, modest and decent.

Understood what working class means.

he will keep scoring even if he keeps playing to his 50s

just saw feyenoord line up...a certain brad jones between the sticks too. Good to see former players still performing at the top level.

I watched highlights of their very first game. Brad Jones was still shit, and he made a clanger (which led to a goal? Definitely a few clangers which led to chances).

Kuyt is fucking brilliant though. Him and Xabi - could still playing in the MLS or some shit league when they're 55.

Just came in to post that article, it's a good read. I think we sold him too soon, it seems self evident given his current form. We could have done with him alongside Stevie in 2014...

Good luck tonight Dirky. Always got a big European goal in him.

C'mon Dirk, I want to take some dough off manc twat bookie Fred Done. The first goal and two more after that would be nice on so many levels.

Dirk Kuyt grinning from ear to ear as he speaks to @sammatterface about win vs #MUFC – "My friends in Liverpool are happy too!"

Always gives 100% and much better skill than people give him credit for. We could have done with him a few times over the past few years.

Currently helping his side on their way to their seventh win out of seven in the league. 2-0 up. They've only conceded 2 goals so far. Great stuff.

Kuyt is some sort of a hybrid of Jimmy Case and John Wark - he'll still be playing after Ojo has retired

A good 5 point lead over 2nd placed Ajax - only 7 games into the season, but a great start for Feyenoord.

I remember when he joined for £9m and it was deemed to be the equivalent to paying the moon and the sun for him

. What a team player he turned out to be. He scored some incredibly important goals for us over the course of his Liverpool career and for that he will always be one of my favourite Liverpool players.

Feyenoord again! 1-0 down at h/t and Dirk has helped them go 1-2 up away to NEC with 2 mins to play.

9 wins out of 9! What an amazing start for them.

Love Dirk. He might have had some limits, but he's always been one of my absolute favourites.

Phil M · « **Reply #279 on:** October 30, 2016, 01:38:41 pm »

Ghoochannejhad has just scored against them after 7 mins, yes really, for Heerenveen.

Might be the day their amazing unbeaten run comes to a halt but better to concede early, they have 80 odd mins to turn it around.

Cmon Dirk.
