Kewell turned down a contract offer with Liverpool in May and entered the current transfer window as a free agent, with many clubs across Europe chasing his services.

He was reported to be heading to Celtic, Italy's Roma or Portsmouth, but Galatasaray swooped first.

"I'm ecstatic, I'm thrilled to bits and looking forward to the new challenge," Kewell told the Galatasaray website.

"I can't wait to join the team and get going.

"There's a lot of talk about the Turkish league, it's coming up in the world.

"The national team has done well in the last couple of international tournaments and there's a lot of young talent here.

"It's different and that's what I'm looking forward to - the new challenge."

    You are obviously the one who doesn't know alot about football if you think Kewell is better than Kuyt!

    I'm a Manchester United fan and i can't believe the stick Kuyt gets! he's one of the hardest working players in the league and scored you 6 Champions League goals last year which is incredible to say he gets played on the right wing.

    I don't understand you scousers, you've got a player that sweats blood for you and you bash him!! Ok he doesn't score as many goals as he maybe should but that because he's rarely played up front and he's such an unselfish player!!

    In todays world of players who are scared to get there shorts dirty i think hardworking players are a breath of fresh air!!

  8. best player in the premiership when at leeds , move 2 scallypool went to his head, been a waste of space ever since ,no hunger, no desire, but still a multi millionaire. now hes off to play for the savages of europe,prob play about 6 games in 6 month and end up signing for boro.

  11. yes your are and im happy to see the back of him, a waste of the wages weve paid him for the last 2 seasons. When we brought him he was quality but constant injuries made sure he didnt start matches. Good luck at Gala mate, sorry you couldnt have stayed out of casualty enough to play a decent ammount of matches, i only wish he wasnt a free transfer so we could get some of the money back that went to him every week.

  12. Champions League winner ? If I remember right Kewell played the first half badly, Pool were 3 nil down and he clearly did not have the fight for the rest of the game and was subbed. In his absense Pool went on to win without him. Is this correct ?

  14. rob 974 if you want spelling and grammar read a f(expitive)ing book.

    and stop trying to score points against fans who have got better tings to worry about than incorrect inglisch.

    are you a walking dictionary or a chav rugerby fan perchance ?

  15. I here the Gillet boys are lining up 'Arry Redknapp to take over at Anfield in a season or two :-)

    Any more news on Scolari's displeasure with Ballacks last goal in the Euro 1/4 final, rumour on Tennis, Rugby, FI and even Tour pages is that Ballack is moving to WHUFC for a pitance ?

  17. @andy, totally agree. he had a short spell during toward the end of last season *06/07* when we had something like a 10 game unbeaten run. he played about 6 of those and was brilliant. scored in a few of the games including a cracking volley vs spurs. he also scored a good one from range vs everton in that season. and more recently he was very influential in our crunch game vs. marseille in the champs lge and helped set up torres' opener with a well disguised pass.

    I agree its time he moved on and we wont miss him but he is quality. maybe wasn't suited to rafa's training and diet regimes. oh well. we got a strong squad. just need another 2 or 3 world class additions. in the 15-20 mil region. that incidentally is NOT a region I believe gareth barry belongs. he's good but not that good.

  18. Harry kewell is the worst player i haven`t seen (injured all the time) neither has any liverpool fans, he appears in finals only, that must be in his contract, he should have signed for Liverpool teaching hospital they might of found a cure for his injuries
    As for going to Turkey he is a @#$%-house especally as his wife is from Yorkshire and two fans were murdered.

    disgusted football fan
