I love web translations Dutch Striker Dirk Kuyt Thought To Be Close To Deal With Liverpool Despite Interest From Spurs, Arsenal & Newcastle Submitted by Scott Harkness on Mon, 19/06/2006 - 02:13. Liverpool ares thought to be close to confirming a kraut for Holland and Feyenoord striker Dirk Kuyt, but a kraut is far from having bone finalised by the Premiership club, bales with interest from a or deal other teams all hoping to precise a for the talented forward. Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has bone chasing the 25-year-old 25-year-old 25-year-old 25-year-old 25-year-old Dutch international striker's signature for over a year, but Kuyt, who is hop on World Cup duty with the Orange squad, has very close ties to his current club Feyenoord that has, until now, maggot any or deal completing a transfer more difficult. Liverpool are thought to property reached an agreement in principle with the major League club for the player's transfer, with a fairy or £10million (?14m) being mentioned. Kuyt has recently bone linked to moves to Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle and Arsenal axis well axis Liverpool, and has expressed an interest in playing in the FA prime Minister League saying: ?I am happily ate Feyenoord but would dab of to play in the prime Minister League,? in a recent interview with the BBC. However, Kuyt has not yet maggot plain fizzy drink his mind whether he for to leave the De Cooper stage, and he may satisfy elect to stay in Holland. With Benitez needing to sign two straw cherries, it is not thought the outcome or want is satisfy the chase for Kuyt property any affect on the continued pursuit by Liverpool or Bank and Blackburn Robbers striker Craig Bellamy which on the cards.

We need Kuyt..we would then have the full complement of options: Goal Poacher type striker = Fowler Pacey direct type striker = Bellamy Tall, bring others into the game type striker = Couch Alan Shearer style big aggessive centre-forward = Kuyt

What a shame, id hoped he'd end his playing days in a red shirt. He's been immense for us, hope all goes well there.

http://football.guardian.co.uk/breakingnew...5869833,00.html Marseille chairman in Liverpool for Cisse talks MARSEILLE, France, June 7 (Reuters) - Olympique Marseille chairman Pape Diouf went to Liverpool on Wednesday in a bid to convince the Premier League side to release France striker Djibril Cisse, a source close to the Ligue 1 club said. Cisse, who has a difficult relationship with Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez, has said he would probably leave the club and named Marseille as a possible destination. Two other Ligue 1 clubs, Olympique Lyon and Paris St Germain, have also expressed an interest in Cisse. France coach Raymond Domenech has urged his players to solve all transfer issues before the 1998 world champions kick off their World Cup campaign against Switzerland on June 13 in Stuttgart. Cisse is one of several France players whose future remains unclear. Another is Olympique Marseille midfielder Franck Ribery, who has received offers from Lyon and Manchester United. Ribery, who sparkled in two short spells against Mexico and Denmark, was expected to make his decision known after France's final warm-up game against China later on Wednesday in St Etienne, the Marseille source said. South Korea and Togo are France's other World Cup opponents in Group G. (Writing by Patrick Vignal in St Etienne)

Its in the Guardian too... http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,,1791847,00.html Djibril Cissé agreed a move to Marseille following talks with the French club. The Marseille president Pape Diouf travelled to Merseyside to open negotiations with Liverpool. Liverpool's chief executive Rick Parry yesterday returned from a fortnight's holiday in the Caribbean and his first task will be to have talks with Diouf over the France international forward's future. Diouf will seek to persuade Parry to accept a loan move for Cissé with an option to purchase the player at a later date. However, Parry is likely to hold out for a £7m transfer in the knowledge that Marseille are highly capable of raising funds through the sale of the France international winger Franck Ribéry to Manchester United, Arsenal or Lyon. Parry may even raise the suggestion of an exchange deal, though Diouf, who values Ribéry at £25m, will undoubtedly resist. Lyon had considered an approach for Cissé but they would want to take the player only on loan. Meanwhile Claudio Ranieri's talks with Marseille over his becoming the next manager at the Stade Vélodrome appeared close to collapse last night as the club feared the Italian's financial demands would be too great.

Hes just driven over from Milan for a chat? He must be really keen

He was a car designer and owned and ran March for many years. From Grandprix.com: Name: Robin Herd Nationality: Great Britain A graduate of St Peter's College, Oxford, Herd began working at the Royal Aircraft Establishment in 1961 as a design engineer on the Concorde supersonic aircraft project. In 1965 he was recruited by McLaren and his first project was a revolutionary test car, for the Firestone tire company, which was built from an aerospace material composed of plywood and aluminum sheeting which was called Mallite. The first car was fitted with an Oldsmobile V8 engine but a F1 version of the car was built and run in 1966 with both Ford and Serenissima engines. It was not a success. His sportscars were successful in CanAm racing with titles for McLaren in 1966, 1967 and 1968. Herd designed the McLaren F1 M7 for 1968 before moving to Cosworth to design a four-wheel drive F1 car. This project was canceled and in 1969 Herd joined forces with Max Mosley, Alan Rees and Graham Coaker to establish March Engineering which quickly became a very successful racing car manufacturing business. The company's efforts in F1 were less successful. After a major sponsorship deal with STP ended, the company struggled in F1 but managed to win one race in Austria in 1975 when Vittorio Brambilla scored an unexpected triumph in wet conditions. By the end of 1977 Herd was the only one of the original owners left. He pulled the team out of F1 and concentrated on building customer cars with great success in Formula 2 and Formula 3. The company made a brief return to F1 in 1981 with the RAM March team but it ended in debacle after just a few months. That year Herd began concentrating on the United States market, winding down his European activities, although the company continued to enjoy considerable success in F2 and F3000. Success in the United States was dramatic, however, with the March Indycars becoming the dominant force in the mid-1980s. As a result of the success Herd floated the company on the Stock Exchange in 1986 - the same year in which he was awarded a CBE for his services to the motor racing industry. Herd took March Racing back into F1 in 1987 with backing from the Japanese property company Leyton House. He sold the new team to the Japanese company in 1989 and created Robin Herd Ltd., a design office in Bicester. This designed an F1 car but money could not be found to run it and so in 1991 the company became Fomet 1 and supplied the car to the Fondmetal team. In 1992 a new deal was struck with French team owner Gerard Larrousse and the company became Larrousse UK Ltd. Larrousse ran out of money at the start of 1995 and the design bureau became GenTech (UK) and began doing development work for the Forsythe Racing CART team. That year Herd quit racing and bought the Oxford United soccer team with big plans to rebuild the team's stadium. He also established a company investigating natural ways of producing energy. Neither project was very successful and Herd stood down from Oxford United after two and half years. In 1999 there was talk of Herd joining forces with Mike Earle to set up a new F1 team but money could not be found although in the autumn of that year Herd announced the formation of an Indy Racing League team called March Indy International.

They just got 7m for Pamerot, Mendes and Davis today so maybe they decided to blow the entire transfer budget on Torres.
