Peter, this was to be expected as they didn't want him staying in the Prem nor did they want to put a price tag on him that would undermine his earning capacity with his new club. This was a way of saying to the player "thanks for your service". At his age, Kuyt can look forward to 3 or 4 more years, 5 at best, but that's a huge stretch. Sad to see him go, but this opens up a vital spot for a new midfielder (hopefully one that can score!!).
X DESCRIBES HIMSELF - Stop masquerading as if you have the clubs interest at heart, you are a fraud, always was and always will be in any and every thing that you present...
