Kuyt puts Liverpool in Kenny crisis

Out of favour Dutch striker Dirk Kuyt has put Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish in a spot.

Kuyt claims he is being forced out by Dalglish, The Sun reported in an exclusive.

He said: "Under this manager I don’t have the feeling any more that he will put me in the side every week.

“I’m under no illusion about playing every week. But I believe I am still good enough to play for Liverpool every week.

“My physical stats are better than ever before.”

The Dutch star slammed the rotation policy followed by Dalglish for his loss in form.

“Last season I was scoring goals all over the place. But this season the manager bought three players who all played in my position," he said referring to Luiz Suarez, Andy Carroll and Stewart Downing.

“In the rotation system he used, I never found my rhythm again and never felt my old self," he added after being kept on the bench for most of the season.

He made a plea to the Liverpool management to give him one final chance to bid farewell in style to the club he loved.

“Deep in my heart I’d love to stay at Liverpool so I could have full revenge on everyone in my final season at the club,” said Kuyt who is being chased by Roma and Hamburg.

He revealed: “Clubs from real big leagues are knocking on the door. I’ve turned down an offer from my old club Feyenoord for financial reasons. I’d have to take an 80 percent wage cut.”

Kenny's 'no sell' plan to hurt Liverpool

Liverpool fans do not yet know the fate of Kenny Dalglish.

The King’s crown may yet be taken away given the kind of clearance the club is going through.

However, Kenny himself seems confident that he will be there next season and so will many of “his” players.

The manager says he is only looking to strengthen over the summer and has no plans to sell any of the current squad.

Which is not the best of news for Anfield die-hards given that the squad has largely under-performed and despite a Carling Cup, fell away in dismal fashion towards the end of the season.

Fabio Aurelio, Joe Cole and Alberto Aquilani, lead a list of players whose fate hands in the balance.

Bring in to that mix Dirk Kuyt and Maxi Rodriguez and you wonder which players Kenny is looking to keep and why.

“We are not looking to move anyone out. The only one who will be moving out will be Fabio as his contract is up,” said Dalglish.

“All we want to do is to add to the start we have had (with the squad he has assembled) and see what happens to us.

“The transfer market brings up surprises but what they will be I can't help you, I'm not clairvoyant. But we are not actively looking to move anyone out.”

Hamburg have tracking Kuyt, while Rodriguez wrote on Twitter: “Last home game and had a goodbye to the fans. Thank you very much to the people of Liverpool for much love”.

Which brings Kenny’s new bunch into question: Charlie Adams, Jordan Henderson and Andy Carroll.

“Most of our plans are in place. We need to get the work done and get on with it,” he added.

The club is certainly getting on with things after director of football Damien Comolli left the club last month.

“It is an ongoing process and not much has changed. Maybe because the transfer window opens there will be some business done - but that is the same for everyone,” he said.
