Amidst a plethora of midfield signings at his club, Liverpool winger Dirk Kuyt has expressed his excitement about the upcoming season.
Despite scoring 13 goals and being a mainstay of the Liverpool side throughout last season’s Premier League campaign, playing in 33 matches, Kenny Dalglish’s spate of transfer acquisitions has left Kuyt with some serious competition for a first-team place.
Having arrived on Merseyside this summer already, Charlie Adam, Jordan Henderson and most recent recruit Stewart Downing will be very keen to prove their worth.
However, Kuyt was full of his characteristic selflessness when explaining his take on the current situation at Anfield.
“I am pleased that we have players of this standard in the squad now,” said the 78-cap Dutch international.
“That should be normal at a club like Liverpool because the Premier League is a very hard league and we need competition for places.”
“There are a lot of games to play and it is impossible to get through with just eleven people so we need a big, strong squad.”
“The players who have just arrived are very welcome because we really needed them.”
Kuyt’s sentiments seem to reaffirm the fact that Liverpool will be gunning to earn a spot in the Champions League places this campaign, having recovered from a disastrous start last season to finish sixth.
