Liverpool: Liverpool striker Dirk Kuyt says he is delighted by the club's transfer activity this summer and is optimistic about their prospects of success this season.
Kuyt has been one of the most consistent performers at Anfield since arriving from Feyenoord in 2006 despite often being deployed out of position on the right flank, even finishing as the club’s top scorer last term with 15 goals.
However, the summer arrivals of Jordan Henderson from Sunderland and Stewart Downing from Aston Villa have raised questions over whether Kuyt will be able to hold down a regular first team place this season.
But the Dutchman is not dwelling on any such concerns, instead choosing to concentrate on the positive aspects of the Merseyside giants’ summer strengthening.
"I am very happy with the signings we have made this summer and it was good for them to have their first game at Anfield," Kuyt told the club's official website after Liverpool’s 2-0 friendly victory over Valencia on Saturday.
"Everyone wants to play, but rivalry is something that in my opinion belongs to a club such as Liverpool. That's what should happen, you have to double up in every position.
"We want to progress and move forward and to do that you need more than 11 good players."
