Here's my reason as to why that doesn't matter. I consider Ruud van Nistelrooy the best striker of the modern generation. Yes, I rate him that highly. Now Holland play with one striker, and there's no shame in being #2 to RvN, I think every in box striker on earth would be if I'm honest. Now Huntelaar is only 24, Nistelrooy was 25 when he got his first big move, despite a ridiculously good record in Holland. So I don't think that should mean anything as we all know how Ruud has done!
The term here is STRIKER and not foward. But RVN is probably the best as a striker. His counterpart in Madrid Raul has had an impressive career as well.
We could of got him in that transfer market you know before he went to Madrid and became the leading scorer of the league. But oh yeah we had Gilardino and what a good decision that was.
