Some of his finishing has been quite stunning this season, Ade's in comparison is embarassing tbh. Left foot, right foot, headers, volley's, tap ins - the Hunter gets it done
check his stats for club and country since he became a pro
career appearances 366, career goals 237 and a lot of those appearances as sub
31 goals in 50 Dutch appearances and nearly half of those as sub
Can he play upfront on his own?
231 Games, 133 Goals. Still better than 1 in 2. Quite a few of those at Milan and RM were sub appaearances too, despite scoring whenever given a chance.now give me the stats that don't include his time with ajax.
I reckon he probably could many weeks. His hold up play is better than (or at least as good as) someone like Crouch for example. In the middle of a 433 he'd be very good.
Every time that we have been linked with him I have wanted him, but certain posters used to shoot me down. The guy scores goals, we need a goal scorer. His movement is better than Defoe, his hold up play is good. His anticipation is good.
He would flourish at this club
Huntelaar is not world class.So potentially world class is better than actually world class?
Neither is Ade then. Hardly useless is he? What of the rest of our strikers.
Sir Les in his pomp - hardly the all round article but what a blyddi scorer and effective enough.
Obviously it would be lovely to be able to sign Higuain and the like but highly unlkely for us right now. Huntelaar, whilst individually not the highest level of player out there has many attributes and ones which neatly tally up with our needs.
Do people just see a pale Darren Bent when they watch him or something?
Much much less of a gamble than Lenadro who many seem to get a chubby at the mere mention of. If we can get them both, great but other than age and one actually doing the biz in Europe, why so much love for one and apathy for the other?
He used to be very much in the mould of Darren Bent in that he scored alot if given the chances but didn't do much else. That's fine in some teams but the way we are currently playing relies on the strikers bringing the likes of Bale/Lennon/Modric/VdV/Hazard into the game.
If Huntelaar has added that to his game then he'd be an excellent signing.
:lol: must've missed that signing :wink:
I think choosing Crouch over Huntelaar has been harry's biggest mistake, yes crouch scored two very important goals but the way he made us play was disgusting
