One year extension until 2013 according to the Echo.

[Conrad]

Well deserved.

[Tones]

Good news

[Macedonian_Red]

Great news ... Every team needs a Kuyt-type player, and we are lucky to have one ...

[The_Adder]

I'm firmly in the Kuyt camp now, I've been in and out of it a few times but I think he has been nothing but exceptional lately.

 

Well deserved.

Especially for the big games.

Why only 1 year extension though? I would have thought extensions should at least be 2 years.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

HURRAH

 

BOOOOO

Very sensible, unlike the Carra extension. There has to be some sense in what we do and contracts should be about what a player is going to give us, not what he has given us. Two more years of Derek is the right length before re-assessing as he hits 33.

[CarraLegend]

His pens are f***ing awesome. Had no doubt that was going straight in.

Best pen taker we have had since Molby!

[Hassony]

His pens are f***ing awesome.

 

very strange for a dutchman

Agree. He looks at the ref, get the ok to run up and scores. Very simple.

[JRC]

Has he ever missed one for us? Plenty of High Pressure ones as well.

[Bailo]

Someone tweeted yesterday that he's never missed a penalty as a professional.

[Leo No.8]

Definitely think he should keep them even when Stevie returns, Dirk just never looks like he's going to miss even under the greatest of pressure.

[Woodsyla]

He's 31 this summer, keep him till he's 33 and then reassess.

 

I love Dirk, I love his low profile personal life, his charity work and his massive massive balls.

[Mikael Akerfeldt]

Great news. Love you Dirk!!!

[_00_deathscar]

How does he even walk with those massive balls? Must be a hindrance - might explain why he's so slow.

[Conrad]

only a fool would fail to understand the importance of Dirk to this club

[CarraLegend]

Anyone remember the uproar from Kenwright, Moyes and co when Rafa called then a "smaller club" not even a small club like they claimed.

 

Well, Dirk has called them "the bitters" on 45 seconds. What a guy!

New Deal placements are usually 13 weeks unless he finds a job in the meantime.

 

Odd that he's on it though....
