Liverpool fail to meet asking price for Kuyt
Dirk Kuyt's agent has questioned Liverpool's hopes of landing the striker, insisting he will not move to Anfield unless the club meet Feyenoord's valuation.
The 25-year-old has been strongly linked with a move to Anfield as the Reds look to increase their goalscoring options ahead of the forthcoming season.
Newcastle are also reportedly interested but the player's agent Rob Jansen believes he will remain at Feyenoord as both clubs seem unlikely to pay the Eredivisie side's £13.7million price.
'Dirk will not be signing for Liverpool any time soon,' Jansen told AD Sportwereld.
'He is also not negotiating with any other English club for that matter.
'Both clubs do not want to pay what Feyenoord wants.
'If foreign clubs don't have the money to buy Kuyt then he will stay with Feyenoord, it's that simple.'

Scholes eager to hit the ground running

Scholes eager to hit the ground running
Paul Scholes knows Manchester United must buck the trend of past campaigns by making a flying start to the new Premiership season.
Since they last won the title in 2003, the Red Devils have handicapped themselves by failing to match their chief rivals over the opening few weeks.
Twelve months ago, Sir Alex Ferguson's men dropped 12 points in their opening 10 games and, despite embarking on a sustained winning streak after Christmas, had no chance of clawing back Chelsea, who wrapped up consecutive titles with two games to spare by hammering United at Stamford Bridge.
Scholes believes he and his Old Trafford team-mates cannot afford a repeat if they are to stand any chance of reclaiming top spot.
'We have to improve our start,' said Scholes, now recovered from the worrying eye complaint which sidelined him for virtually five months last season.
'We have said for the last couple of seasons if we are going to challenge for the championship we have really got to start bang on form.
'Hopefully we can get off to a good start and maybe win the first five or six games to set us up nicely.'
The worry for United fans is the lack of new signings.
While Chelsea made their intentions plain by securing Michael Ballack and Andriy Shevchenko in big-money deals before the World Cup began, as yet, Red Devils owner Malcolm Glazer has not been required to open his cheque-book.
Indeed, the first major transfer involving United this summer seems certain to be in the outward direction as Ruud van Nistelrooy attempts to tie up a move to Real Madrid before his supposed return to training with United on Monday.
With no new arrivals in sight, Van Nistelrooy's departure will leave United's attacking options looking slightly threadbare, hence Ferguson's decision to restore Alan Smith to the forward's role he was bought for when he returns from his horrific double leg break at the end of next month.
'We are going to convert Alan Smith back into being a forward,' said Ferguson. 'He will be back in training soon and should be available by the end of August or the beginning of September.
'I don't believe we are not too badly off in the forwards department. In addition to Alan, we also have Louis Saha and Wayne Rooney and we are considering keeping Giuseppe Rossi with us if Ruud van Nistelrooy does end up leaving, even though I would prefer him to go out on loan for six months.'

Newcastle United haven't landed one transfer yet and not having Shearer there anymore I think they'll have a real problem scoring. What do you peeps think?

I totally agree, the Magpies will definitely have to make some moves very soon to strengthen the squad prior to the 06/07 campaign. I think two strikers, a quality winger and two established center-backs are need to have a top 4 finish. I also think that Luque will suprise a few this season as he will be fighting to establish himself as a quality striker in the EPL. Also I can see Emre and Parker really coming together this season if they (emre) can avoid injury.
We will see some signings in the near future, especially if they get into europe via the intertoto.

I think that although they havent made any blockbuster transfers, they have a decent front line in Owen and Bowyer. And with midfield efforts from Solano, Nzogbia, and Ameobi, the team plays very well. I clearly remember one game from last season when they dominated a game against Tottenham. Such a performance every week would prove rewarding.
