Dirk Kuyt has said Manchester City's super-spend to forget about signing Steven Gerrard - because he is already a bigger club. City of the new found status as the world's richest group has led to impressive which has more than plan to tempt Middle Eastlands.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Cesc Fabregas and Liverpool captain Gerrard are just three of the world-class names in their fantasy football wish list. Kuyt, but believes that, no doubt with regard to the Reds are concerned, the city never tempt any Anfield stars in M62.
The Dutch striker insisted: "I do not think any player would go to town here, because Liverpool is a much bigger club. "I am in my third season here and now I enjoy every day. I know how big this club is not only in England but throughout the world, and that's really important for all players here."
Money is clearly no object for the United Abu Dhabi Group, which now owns the city. But, especially in the case of Gerrard, Kuyt is convinced that they're whistling in the wind. Liverpool travel to the City of Manchester Stadium to return to the Premier League action on Sunday. Kuyt and believes that it will be a case of 'this is what there can be no "when Gerrard and Co roll into town.
He added: "Liverpool is Stevie. So, of course, would be very difficult to buy him. I do not think that once here to leave the city. I do not know what value you put on it, but it would be a lot of money. Therefore, it will not be easy for the city, especially if they want to sign the truly great players. It's possible. But if you want those who are already playing in big clubs, which is the difficult thing. "
Gerrard carved out another little piece of history Anfield on Wednesday, with a piledriver free kick in front of the Kop in the 3-1 Euro win over PSV Eindhoven to bring up a century of Liverpool goals.
He has insisted that will never leave his hometown club and Kuyt believes that it is not necessary anyway, as players can make all their dreams to remain in Merseyside. The Reds' striker, who bagged the opener against the Netherlands to leave Liverpool with one foot already in the knockout phase, said: "It's a great achievement for a midfielder to get 100 goals. "He's a great player. Now we just have to make sure go ahead as a team."
However, like Gerrard as pleasant to the ton was the sight of Robbie Keane bagging his first goal for the club since his £ 20million summer move from Tottenham.
Kuyt admitted: "It means a lot to Robbie and he deserves it. He has been playing well in the last couple of games. "The whole world saw was happy with his first goal and, usually, when you get to the first the rest follow. Hopefully, that will be the same for him.
"I think the main thing is that we have a lot of players who can score goals. Robbie has its first and we know that the rest will follow. We just have to move forward as a team. Next until the Manchester City and we want to win and get another three points."
A Kop who might be leaving, though, is Daniel Agger - with Real Madrid about to make a January transfer window raid to try to tempt the Bernabeu.
The Danish center-back has fallen behind Martin Skrtel as the first choice partner for Jamie Carragher and there have been suggestions that he is unhappy with his lack of games.
Real vice-president, Jose Angel Sanchez admitted that there have already moved in that he had not spent the summer trying to resolve the future of Robinho before his eventual return to the city of Manchester.
Sanchez confirmed: "We were planning on purchasing Agger this summer, along with other players. However, the situation of Robinho had so much attention and requires so many resources of the club that we have had to drop plans to put in an offer for him and the other we had in mind. "Agger'sa player we've been looking for a long time and most likely you will bid for him in January.
"It's a world class player and would fit into our system without a doubt. We need a defender and a striker - and Agger is leading our list."
