Dirk Kuyt was the first to leave and
ensuring a future personal visit to see him in Turkey when he moved to
Fenerbahce for just £1m. His sterling service and
personality will be missed sorely.
Maxi Rodriguez has taken over the mantle of our favourite Argentinian
with his departure to Newell’s Old Boys for an undisclosed fee. An introvert,
his moments in the spotlight were both numerous as well as dramatic.
Next up was Fabio Aurelio, the move back home to Gremio for free a loss
to Liverpool in both fiscal and spiritual senses. Despite a mostly unglamorous
turn, his effort was very much appreciated, especially with the odd strikes at
goal.
Then comes the on again off again saga that was Alberto Aquilani.
Despite featuring on the American tour, he has moved to Fiorentina for an
undisclosed sum. Being Aquilani, it would be no surprise to us to see him
resurface in our colours in some future game.
Third stringers and previous hopes for the future Toni Silva (Barnsley,
free), David Amoo (Preston, free) and Stephen Darby (Bradford, free) can now
have the chance to prove Liverpool wrong and come back to haunt us in some
future cup tie. We wish them well.
Craig Bellamy rendered our expensively procured replica jersey redundant
overnight when he gleefully accepted first team football in his home at
Cardiff. Those lures were too strong to resist and swapping one red shirt for
another may be another added bonus. Thanks for all the memories.
It has been good having you all. Thank you.
