Huntelaar reminds me little bit of Arshavin and im gladly to have him in milan (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Fabiano is a world class player he played great football with Brazil and he is still playing great football with Sevilla this year scoring 13 goals in 16 games. I don't recall Huntelaar doing something special with the Dutch team, he got a chance with Real he failed, he got a few chances with Milan and he is still failing. When i say he his getting chances meaning he should use training as a chance to show Leonardo how much he is willing to work to play regular football and how good he is. I honestly see no talent in him, other than his good finishing there is nothing good or special about him, he is one of the most overrated players in the world. As soon as i heard him coming in i knew he wouldn't work out

How do you know he's not trying? That can't be that case, he just cannot do (or better is not used to doing) what Leo wants his striker to do.

Huntelaar is overrated? Could be, but not more than Fabiano.

If Huntelaar was actually trying during training he would of played more matches

I can't quite fathom the comparison here bud (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

One's a world class forward who would justifiably make many people's elite world 11s, the other is Huntelaar.

Is it correct to refer to a girl as a bud? I know buddy means friend...but isn't bud very male-specific? I'm just asking...I don't use this term much...

I don't really mind but as long he does'nt means nothing disrespectful

I like Huntelaar he is really good even if he did 8 goals in 20 games in Real Madrid
But he was better in Ajax

Actually had no idea you were a chick, I normally wouldn't refer to a girl as 'bud' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) so no disrespect intended.

As for Klaas, his record at Madrid is very misleading. He went on extended barren spells while he was there, and scored goals when games were 2-0 etc.

His peak was most definitely Ajax - it really has been downhill since he left.

it's cool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Yes it true, ajax is going downhill but I think its about confidents coz its 11 men on the field not one so they should win without Klaas. Theres not just on star on the field, if u know what I mean

hands off!

Hunter is good, just Leo don't know how to use him.

Today for ten min. he did much more than Borriello for hole game.

Overrated...damn...what a silly idea

He has 5 goals in 15 serie A matches. I wonder how many minutes total he's played though. He isn't far from borriello who has 8 goals.

Borriello has played more consistently and scored more consistently. and he does more than just score goals. for example, how many time this season has a Borriello-Dinho-Pato combination led us to goals? he's important to our tactical setup up front. Hunter isn't that much.

But if only goals per minutes [or games] played are to be considered, yes, Huntelaar's done much better:

Borriello > 1109 minutes played | 7 goals scored. goal scoring ratio: 0.56
Huntelaar > 570 minutes played | 5 goals scored. goal scoring ratio: 0.78


Only Serie A stats counted. from acmilan.com.

He's a poacher...it's to be expected...I wish he were a little more mobile though....I would feel much better about him playing lone striker there. And this might be odd, but this current setup would have suited Gila to a T. His mobility had really improved in his last two seasons here, but unfortunately the setup was totally different then.

For the record, if KJH can cross the 8 goals mark in Serie A this season..then considering how long he's played, I'm inclined to keep him. He's one of the better goal poachers around..and every team needs a genuine poacher.

But then Paloschi is also an option so... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

IMO it doesn't have to be "either/or"? I'd keep Hunter and bring back Paloschi. because, let's face it, Pippo will be 37 come August. how many more seasons can he continue with "us", especially with such limited chances he is given on the pitch? to let either Hunter or Paloschi go because of him would not be wise. loaning Huntelaar until Pippo hangs up his boots is an option but we must not sell him. the market is not overloaded with quality poachers these days.

PS. I agree that Gila would have done well in the current setup. maybe we should bring him back.

Nah, why bother bringing Paloschi back, zeddie? Seems that nobody rates the Italians on the squad at all anyway.
