What's with the thread title? Is there a joke I'm missing?
Maybe it's just me but the only fan I met for whom Park was his favourite United player was a Korean. Obviously plenty of people liked Park a lot, but usually a more talented player is the favourite.Suppose it's the same as someone whose favorite was Park. People like grafters.
Yeah, that's fair. He had that irritating knack of being in the right place at the right time, and he was always a hard worker. I do wonder about that kind of player though, if they'd had more natural ability would they have developed as they did, or just banked on those talents like most other players do? Imagine if Kuyt had Babel's pace, or Babel had Kuyt's nous and determination. I do have to admire Kuyt for how much of a career he made out of himself.He was many people's favourite player.
Besides the obvious workrate, commitment and steely temperament, he was a dead clever player with really good decisionmaking. He knew the footballing manual inside out. Sort of had to to make it at this level given his natural ability and all, but still.
If he had either pace or technique, he would have been brilliant.
It's an hi-larious reference to his dubious evidence to the FA Suarez-Evra Commission.What's with the thread title? Is there a joke I'm missing?
Jeez, that made me giggle.Yeah, despite his ties to Liverpool, you have to respect someone who has got the most out of his talent. Not one that can break a game open by himself, but always working for the team and willing to play where assigned. Plus he goes out as a champion. A top class donkey, and I mean that in a nice way.
Yes if I didn't watched Kuyt playing in Feyenoord before he went to Liverpool we could think they are talking about someone like Charlie Austin.Reading some of the comments on here make me laugh. This is a guy with over a hundred caps for the Dutch national team. He may not be Denis Bergkamp but a team with 11 Bergkamps will win sod all. You need a couple of Dirk Kuyts in any great team. The guys who will run and battle the whole 90 minutes to get a result. Kuyt had another saving grace. He would score a lot of crucial goals in big games. Marmite could have been named Kuytmite. You either love him or hate him
Nah, Kite is wrong too. Hard to explain in English as I don't think there's similar English words that sound like how his name is pronounced in Dutch.Oh, and his name is actually pronounced KITE not K-OW-T yet for some reason I thought the latter was right
Heyyy yoooou guuuuuys!
It's essentially the vowel sound that Alan Green would use if he were to try to say "Kowt".Nah, Kite is wrong too. Hard to explain in English as I don't think there's similar English words that sound like how his name is pronounced in Dutch.
You could flip that and suggest it's possibly the greatest testament of a person's character. Getting to the top through sheer will and effort is to be applauded, no?Praising a player for "working hard" is the ultimate back handed compliment.
