"Dirk moves on. One of the hardest working players that we have had in years. Best of luck at your new club and we`ll miss you and some of the important goals you scored over the years. YNWA"
"Good luck drk I'm sure it's the best option for you as I can't see you as I can't see you in the starting 11 which is something you obviously want, thanks for the memories you have given us over the last 6 years your a legend, 1 in 4 strike rate for a striker who has played mainly on the wing but always gave 110% YNWA"
"thank you for everything dirk - i wish you all the best in the future. you have done an absolutely top job for us over the past 6 years and won a place in so many lfc fans hearts. YNWA"
"What? How? Why? What the..? :'(. How has this happened?..this is a season where Kuyt's services would of been crucial..especially the rigorous regime of the Europa lge. I'm sad to see you go and you have been a fantastic loyal player..and your 6 years here at LFC..will be remembered fondly. Good luck in Turkey. Now let's promote Sterling."
"I am really gutted that hes left hes worked so hard for Liverpool i am upset that hes leaving. I will be going to keep the shirt with your name on the back because it will remind me of what a loyal player you are for the club i will never forget you Dirk Kuyt and all the best for the future because you deserve it! YNWA DIRK KUYT! xx"
"What a shame and a waste. Seems the sort of player who would benefit from Rodgers' methods. 1 million is nothing (3 months wage for Joe Cole).
Thank's Dirk for all the big goals! LFC cult hero YNWA."
"Very, very sorry to see you go Dirk. Youv'e been a fine player for the club, a true gent on and off the field. Your charity work says a lot about you as a man too. You will be missed by all true fans of LFC. Good luck in Turkey and remember - YNWA!"
"Thanks for the Good Times you always gave everything for the cause and will be sadly missed (Good Bye NODDY) from the other half. She always called you that. "

"Congratulations Dirk
You were a real gem for Liverpool, you scored some great goals and personified the club with your efforts on the field. I for one will keep an eye on the Turkish league to see how your going!!
Good Luck
YNWA"
"Good luck with your future in Istanbul.....always a hard worker. A good time for him to move on...I doubt whether he and a number of others have the skill to play the Brendan Rodgers style of football."
"Good luck Dirk for your future, your were definitely one of the most lovable footballers who served the club. Missing you already, hopefully you'll do well for your club."
"Alot of the kk signings can take a leaf out of kuyts book which reads 110% work rate effort and dedication, fighting til
The end and having the knack of scoring vital goals keep in touch dirk ynwa "
"Good bye Dirk! Thank you for your faithful service to LFC. You will be forever missed for your work rate, atude and scoring important goals. A legend truly a the legends. Thanks for the memories. And good luck in your next career."

"So sad to see you leaving. You are my most favourite and will be a the greatest, a legend. Thanks for the joys u've given on the pitch. You will be missed we love you Kuyt. Wish u the best. YNWA"
"Dirk, I'll really miss you. Can never thank you enough for all you've done for this club, but knew that you would probably want to play every week and not just keep coming on off the bench. My very best wishes go with you, YNWA. Come back and see us sometime."
"YNWA Kuyt! i hoped this news would not come, but sort of knew it would. Good luck and thanks for the 6 years of true service. One of the few who ALWAYS played for the shirt! True LFC hero, no ego, best of luck!!"
"a bit of a surprize, but he's not getting any younger & we are looking to the future, not the present. Good luck Dirk & thanks for your 120% effort in each game"
"You'll always be remembered for your fighting spirit and your incredible workrate. Hopefully you'll be back someday as a Carraghers helper when he is our manager. PS: I was at Anfield when you scored your first goal for LFC :)"
"HOW ungrateful are we as club? How pathetic like REAL MADRID, we became?
We selling "just like that", LEGENDS like KUYT?
All he needed/wanted, was to PLAY, damn it - not seating on the damn bench!
Every single time we used him, he BLED for us!
From a GREAT/LEGENDARY club, we became - with NO MORAL - a "PURE"... "AMERICAN MARKET" one!
SHAME on us, shame on LFC."
"such a massive loss, it should have a top priority to make sure he was part of our team for the rest of his career. Liverpool legend without question"
"sad to see dirk leave ,110% given every game , true redman ,played for the shirt every time , sorry to see him go , hope you enjoy the rest of your career dirk proud of of your achievements for us , ynwa "
"i always thought kuyt would be a player to spend his remaining years at liverpool but he is still sort of young and with brendan as manager he might not fit in his style of play so good luck to the flying dutchman never forget the great momments yu have given us all Y.N.W.A"
"Im gutted to see one of our best moving on. Guess he waited to see who was going to take over to see if he would make the starting lineup. Dirk,, you were the best for us. Pool fans everywhere are going to miss seeing you in red. Best wishes for you .. You will be forever Red,,. YNWA"
"Driven away by KD, great player indeed and think should have waited for Brendan. Only consolation not joining any of our immediate rivals, great respect for the REDS. YNWA Dirk, all the best. "
"One of the most under rated players in the Premier League. An absolute legend for his contribution over the past 6 years.
I actually feel sad. YNWA Dirk."
"Breaks my heart to see him go.He served the club extremely well.Anyone can tell he was a true RED and gave everythning he had when he was on the pitch.Hope he does well in turkey.YNWA KUY/ KOP LEGEND"
"The Dutch forward had hinted he may leave Anfield this summer after struggling to keep his first team place in recent years and under the management of Kenny Dalglish. - SORRY TO HEAR HIM LEAVE US ..GREAT PLAYER AND WILL BE MISSED - BLAME KENNY "
"goodbye Dirk and thanks for being my favourite player of the three past seasons... Is Jackson Martinez now preparing for a new job at Anfield... he would certainly fit into a squad wanting to play the tika-taka way."
"Dirk's commitment to the shirt can never be questioned. A great servant to Liverpool Football Club. I for one am very sorry to see him go. Best of luck in all you do in the future. YNWA."
"knew he will leave this summer, and was the right move, he was good at times but not brilliant, wish him the best in fener, and was this a free transfer?"
"YNWA, Dirk! You epitomized everything right with the Liverpool football club. Sad to see you go but you will always be a legend. Thanks for the memories. "
"I'm so sad right now he's leaving.
Hold your head up high Dirk, you will always be remembered as one of the most loyal players who have ever worn the red shirt.
YOU'll NEVER WALK ALONE "
"I never saw you give less than 100% in any game u played for us. U are a true gentlemen, a legend and someone who has liverpool in his heart, Thanks for all u did and i hope to see u return to LFC one day in a coaching role..... YNWA"
"AT long last!!!! never liked him from day 1. a headless chicken running around the pitch was the only thing he was good at. one more of the riff raff raffa flops gone."
"I am gutted. He has always given his best to Liverpool FC and I am going to miss his big blonde curls and more importantly his ever industrious work rate. Good luck Dirk. All the best because you deserve it 100%."
"Good luck to you our "Flying Dutchman" we will always remember your! And you were simply amazing! Thank you for everything! And maybe we will bring back the destiny! We do not say goodbye, we just say see you and thank you again for everything! Once red, red is always! Good luck in everything and You'll Never Walk Alone Dirk!!!"
"I'm hugely disappointed to see one of our great players and workaholic Dirk Kuyt leave LFC, and really angry with those people that do the deals for the club, how they accept such a clause in a deal for a player like Kuyt to leave for a mere 1m. Good luck Kuyt YNWA!"
"Shows how much he loves the club really; he has one season as a bit-part player and he's out the door. Who the hell does he think he is? Won't even go back to Feyenoord because they can't pay his wages and thinks he's doing THEM a favour."
"Good luck in Turkey. Whilst you never were prolific, your work rate and determination for us was unmatched by anyone and I certainly do remember the big goals that you always scored for us. Always remembered, YNWA."
"That is unfortunate. Loved Derek. Clearly he had spoken with new boss but am surprised he didnt think he would fit in to his playing style. Deserves all the luck in the world. Great guy. "
"A player who always showed what it meant to play for Liverpool, always gave 100%. a great example to all and a hero to many. Now i need to pick a new name for my shirts as its been Kuyt for years!! :) Good luck Dirk, YNWA"
"So sad. All the best to you, Dirk ! Will never forget your work rate and fighting spirit ! You'll always be my favorite Liverpool player ! Hope there'll be a proper farewell for us to say thank you ...you'll be definitely missed !"
"A true professional who never gave less than 100%. Thank you Dirk and I wish you every success in Turkey. We also must thank you for all the work for charity off the pitch that you have done and will no doubt continue in the future.
"tot Ziens""
"really sad day, was hoping to see BR play you up front, instead of on the wing, think you would have fitted better in BR system too, but thanks for all your help, good luck for future, always YNWA GOD bless m8 "
"YNWA DIRK KUYT. HE GAVE 100% IN THE FIELD IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. YOUNGSTERS NEED TO LEARN FROM PEOPLE LIKE KUYT AND LUCAS. BUT I WILL BE GUTTED IF I CAME TO KNOW THAT HE LEFT JUST FOR 1m"
"Hang on a minute here people are blaming the club and Buck, what for? It was discussed with Dirk about the lack of starts and no guarentees could be given so HE decided to look for more game time elsewhere with the clubs blessing. He has been great at this club and rather than have limited chances here he has moved on, I respect that and wish him the best of luck. "
"Id be fake if I said I was a Kuyt fan but for all his technical flaws you could never fault his work rate and he always gave his all for the cause so with that respect he was a great servant to the club and I wish him all the best in pastures new"
"Take your rightful place in a long list of legends at LFC. All the best to you and your family and thanks for your presence and commitment in the last 6 years. YNWA"
"enjoyed your work ethic.you are the benchmark,for effort,tenacity,good luck to you mr.kuyt,show em how its done ! now, lets see who steps up....to that level of effort....."
"Shame on the club{once again}for letting Dirk Kuyt go and for his treatment last season.
Of course the line by the club will be that he is too old,but if that is the reason,why are Gerrard and Carragher untouchable?
"
"Thanks for all the great moments you've been a part of. Your workethics are 2nd to noone, and you're a true legend. All the best for you and your family - from Denmark! YNWA"
"Thought it would happen this summer but not so soon. If he wasn't discarded last season by the previous manager he'd have stayed. Anyway, opportunity to get someone younger, cheaper (in salary) and better. DK- the scorer of important goals in big matches at crucial times. "
"Sad one this!!! Pretty kiss poor by the club-a bit on the website and thats it for his service and atude. A lot of things that were handled with some finesse seem to be trundled out now in a mundane way. Wind of change don't always blow you in the direction you want. Good luck fella YNWA"
"So sad and sorry to see him go. He is a man that will succeed wherever he goes. A great player with a great heart. He always gave his very very best for this club and he will be remembered as a legend at Anfield foorever. YNWA Dirk. Veel succes Dirk! voor altijd rood, voor altijd een legende. YNWA"
"We Truly love u Dirk we ill bever 4get u and u will always be in our hearts as one of Anfiled Greats ..good luck to u and YNWA and dont stop been in touch with the club plz :) "
"Oh no! Is this the beginning of the future of our glorious team! Hopefully not a mass exodus on the cards. Yes that is sarcasm! Dirk Kuyt you are a legend and you will be sorely missed. Good Luck for the future.YNWA "
"Thanks Dirk, You always gave 110% in a red shirt and will always be a red. Lots of good memories from your time at Liverpool. Good Luck for the future. YNWA"
"It's very sad to hear this news. I was shocked. I'm very very sad today. But we have to move on. A great legend and a great servant to our club. He always give his 100% service and very hardworking player. Thanks for your wonderful service Kuyt. No word can describe it. We all going to miss you. Good luck with you future Kuyt. You will never be forgetten by LFC and the fans."
"Can't blame him for leaving - i would too if i was dropped for Henderson. Good luck KuyT! Never the most skillfull - but always the most honest and hard working. YNWA"
"Sad to see Dirk go, have some great memories of his time with us. I hope he gets a lot of game time during his time with his new club. Thank you Dirk for everything and Good Luck."
"Cannot begin to say how upset I am. Kuyt has been a tremendous servant for LFC. Thought now that Kenny has gone, Kuyt would stay. Wonder why he hasn't? Thank you for all your unsurpassed efforts. You played with all of your heart."
"Legend Kuyt. Our Working Class Hero. Thank You for your effort and honesty.
We will remember you a great human and idol for young footballer.
You didn't leave us when we were down and out.
Thank You."
"I hope Roger can find someone to replace him soon cos if we keep selling players of this calibre i fear for our future .... Best of luck Kuyt, you are already being missed !!!!! YNWA"
"what a shame iwill miss his hard work kenny didnt use him like he should have brendan wont get the chance sorry see him go all the best like alonso will be missed"
"We'll never forget you Dirk! You are the one who snuffed the mancs out with that lovely hatrick and also in the FA Cup, you are a Legend and a Warrior, come back to see us anytime, you'll always be a welcome figure at Anfield, take care lad, take care!"
"Sad to see you leave at this moment. Your experience would have been helpful next season. A loyal servent to LFC at all time. Best of luck buddy with your family. Thanks for the memories with LFC. take care."
"RAFA HAD GREAT FAITH IN HIM AND STARTED HIM OFTEN, WHICH USED TO UPSET MANY SO-CALLED "FANS" ON HERE, CALLING HIM (Rafa's love child ) I BET SOME OF THESE FICKLE HYPOCRITES HAVE ADDED THEIR MEANINGLESS COMPLEMENTARY COMMENTS ON HERE NOW.
BEST OF LUCK IN TURKEY KUYT. I WILL REMEMBER YOU ENDEARINGLY."
"Deadly Dirk will be missed .If this is a Brendan Rodgers move well to me he should not be going but he has gone so good luck mate YOU will be missed now and forever more.DEADLY DIRK"
"Good Luck Dirk. Always gave a 100% and if more followed your example we would be better for it. Well done, thanks and we wish you every success in the future. YNWA"
"Never the speediest; never the most skillful - always the most committed and a decent player too - in every sense.
Good for you Dirk - the very best of luck."
"Thanks for giving us 100% every time you played for us, you are a fantastic servant of this club and will never be forgotten. Good luck in all you do. YNWA"
"Gutted - If there is a blade of grass this legend hasn't covered in every single match it should be framed and put in the museum! YNWA Dirk - He knows what it means to wear the shirt"
"So sad to see your back Dirk, but at the other hand it`s a step forward. Bring in Afellay MR. Rodgers please! YNWA KUYT, we`ll always remember your commitment and your pace on the pitch!
"
"this is kenny stuff again... kuyt is [now was]the most under appreciated player in our squad and the new manager has done exactly what kenny did when he took over - let the best player go - a la torres exit ... now we'll run around in circles to get a replacement and the great Americanized anfield show just got better...........!!!! maybe a league le in 10 years from now!!! "
"Can't stop crying. Feel devastated but Dirk will always be in my heart. Been twice to Anfield. In 2010, I got a hand wave from him during the pre match which was amazing. In March 2012, he signed my very first scarf at the Shankly Gates after the match. Two best moments. Dirk, thank you from the bottom of my heart, you are a Red Legend. YNWA from France xxxx"
"Every team needs a Dirk Kuyt. Thankyou for all your hard work and effort all these years... You will be missed. Red is in your veins forever Dirk... YNWA..."
"Absolutely gutted tbh. Proberbly the right thing to do on both parts but what a legend, so glad he lifted the carling cup this year he deserved it! goodby Kuyt you will be missed YNWA"
"Definitely 1 of the workhorses of LFC when we were going through a tough period. I'm sad to see you leave. I wished he had played more last season. All the best to you & your family Dirk. YNWA!"
"One of the few players that gave his all every game he played. Dirk will be remembered as a Liverpool Legend. All the very best in your new club, Sad to see you leave.
DK YNWA"
"sad to see him go one of the best players. Can rate him as the second important player after Steven Gerard. anyway good luck to him where ever he goes.
"
"Thank you dirk for six great years of service to LFC how I wish some of your colleagues had shown the same effort and endeavour we have enjoyed from your self. Good luck for the future you will not be forgotten. "
"Good luck Dirk in the future, thank you for the excellent service you have given Liverpool Football Club. You have been a top player for us and you always will be."
"Dirk would agree that last season was not one of his better ones and his lack of selection compounded his misery. Good luck in Turkey Dirk and thanks for your contribution during your time at Liverpool. YNWA"
"Rom-LFC-Hellas couldn't put it better, the guy had a 74 percent success pass rate a lot more than some of the players we have which is what what we need with the way we want to play next season and for how much, amazing makes to sense he gave his all, good luck YNWA"
"I am disappointed. If anyone aged more than 30 years had something to offer the club, that person was the boundlessly energetic and rarely-injured Dirk Kuyt. An incredible team player. Another ill-timed departure in my opinion."
"Dirk never stop running and a player for big occasions! You deserved to call as one of Anfield Legend. Thank you so much for all your hard work in and out of field. I hope you will be back one day as a great manager. You will Never Walk Alone! "
"What is going on ? Kuyt was the last player I expected out the door especially as he'll be playing for Holland in Euro 2012 ! Not impressed one little bit LFC. Good luck Dirk."
"In the days when ther seemed far less effort Dirk was the one runing everywhere giving 200% effort, and for that youll never walk alone,ther will allways be a seat at lfc for you m8,best wishes to you and yours our true frend dirk,ynwa"
"Devastated! He is such an underrated player and he will be sorely missed. Kenny under used him last season for the likes of Henderson and look where that got us. Good luck Dirk and thanks for everything you have given us. Gutting news! Legend! "
"suprised he decided to leave...he always seemed to be at the right place at the right time. great memories against manure...everton..best of luck Dirk to you and your family....will miss your workrate....YNWA"
"No better servant of LFC...always there when he had to be.Sorely missed by all. 110% all the time. I hope they appreciate what they're getting. Dirk, you'll always be Red to us...we love ya man. Best of luck, fair winds and following seas. YNWA"
"A sign that the club is falling backward than moving forward????? Lets hope not. His leaving shd put blame on KD who simply refused to play him. Instead to always played the non-contributing Henderson... Sad. All the Best to You Kuyt. YNWA. Legend."
"Good bye DK. U may have not scored hundred of goals for us but will remember u as the most dedicated n hardworking player we had. U r de man for the big occasion. Good luck in Euro and in the future. U're always welcome into our heart! YNWA! "
"LEGEND>>>look at the amount of comments on this article that says it all..this man will 4ever b remembered..definately one of our top 5 players over last 5 years and unquestionably the most consistent.good luck Kuyt YNWA"
"Stupidly underused last season.
Wouldn't the smart thing have been to sell AFTER the European Championship?
As recently as the second half of last season, Dirk saved us from a difficult 4th round replay at Old Trafford and scored a crucial Carling Cup Final goal."
"if all the youngsters take a leaf out of your work effort perhaps they will end up half as good as you,sir,you are a gentleman and a scholar,you don't need luck wherever you go because you have passion,and thts what matters,thank you,see you soon. "
"All the best Dirk. Not only a great player but a great lad all round. New players should look to you as an example of hard work and commitment. Good luck for the future."
"Thanks Dirk for always giving it everything for LFC. So many times you were our heartbeat. You won't be forgotten here, all the best with whatever you do. Total legend. YNWA"
