To be quite honest I don't watch the dutch league, I think its very boring and a very weak league. I had heard all about Dirk in the papers and how all the big clubs were chasing him.
However the lad did have a very poor World Cup. I watched him twice and he was average at best. Against Portugal he did not do anything at all except miss a one on one. I know we should not judge players on the basis of one tournament, after the Diouf, Babb, Diao fiascos but from what I saw I would not like to see the lad at Anfield for the prices being quoted.
A lot of you who have obviously seen him play have said Van Basten played him out of position, well for me he reminded me too much of our very own Dibjril, he could not beat a man and did not look like a £10m player.
Obviously i would take him for half of that just of this supposed reputation but for £10m it is far too much of a risk for an Ian Dowie lookalike. Kezman was exceptional in the dutch league but could not hack it with the big boys.
