Latest news from Koptalk:
Feyenoord chairman Jorien Van den Herik says he's sad to see
Dirk Kuyt leave for Liverpool but he says he couldn't stand in the
way of the player's wish to further his career.
The Dutch hitman is currently on Merseyside undergoing a medical
and he should sign his 4-year contract later today, with the
blessing of his former employers.
Van den Herik said: "We did everything we could to keep Dirk at
Feyenoord.
"We went a long way to do that and Dirk was open to that, but we
knew that the chance was he would leave if his dream club came in.
Liverpool, that too was known, was and is his dream club.
"Many clubs have tried to contract Dirk over the recent period, but
he's said no to clubs every time because they were not appealing
enough, despite there being some very renowned clubs among them.
That characterises Dirk's attitude: either Feyenoord or my dream
club.
"All parties have kept their promises, and the response was always
no up to now, but when Liverpool came knocking with a serious offer
we knew that a transfer was an option.
"It is a pity for Feyenoord, but we do not begrudge him this
step.
"We have to be thankful to Dirk for his effort and loyalty to
Feyenoord and its supporters. He deserves respect and a big
farewell from Feyenoord and we hope that he returns to De Kuip
after his foreign career."
News are flying in fast eh?
