Like i said, I'd rather lose with attractive football, than win with dull football. And Kuijt is an excellent player, but he is simply dull...He is not an attractive player, so get that out of your head. He is efficient, not attractive. And I believe that is pretty much what we're arguing about. You'd rather have efficiency, when I would rather enjoy attractive, entertaining football. Call it a loser philosophy if you want, it just happens to be the AJAX-philosophy. And I will always stand by it.Well enough of that bullshit loser philosophy. At some point you gotta be efficient or you end up being a loser..... People reminds Holland 74 with nostalgy, but they LOST the final against the Germs (the same goes for 98 or even 2000). That's the point.
And by the way Kuijt IS entertaining, he is entertaining in a classic way : good skills, nothing fancy, but tremendous fighting spirit and GOALS. He'll never be Van Basten or Ronaldo but I, for one, enjoy his simplicity, even if he is a Feyenoord player (not liking players just because they play for a club is stupid to begin with, in particular in 2005 with the Bosman ruling and stuff).
Again, I would rather lose against AC Milan while playing as a true AJAX, than win while playing like AC Milan.
