and If Huntelaar flops? that's money down the drain (yet again)

atleast Amauri is proven in Serie A. that can't be said about Huntelaar.
What makes people think that Huntelaar will flop in Serie A? When was the last time a former Ajax player or Dutch player flopped in the Serie A? Is Zlatan a flop?

I don't understand this argument.

You're right, total rubbish. You can never be 100% sure, I thought Almiron would be our best signing (considering the fact that he played good football during the summer), and we all know how that turned out. But in my opinion, Huntelaar would do great, he's gifted like Zlatan and he's not that much of an asshole. He won't whine that much as Zlatan, he'll play great football.

Thing is, I like Amauri and all that, but I think that Klaas is a better option than him. I'm not sure what people mean when they say "Huntelaar will be a flop in Serie A" because "We need someone who knows Serie A well". Zlatan wasn't exactly a flop in his first season for us was he? And its not guaranteed that players who know Serie A well will be great in all honesty. Mirko Vucinic scored 34 in 111 at Lecce, he then went to a better team in Roma and so far he has scored 5 in 36.

I've seen Klaas play before anyone pushes that argument at me, and I know an Ajax fan who praises him up. His youth means that we will have him for a good amount of time. Our current strikers are aged 30, 33, 28 and 23. Not exactly the youngest strike force. Amauri is 27, so he is basically at the middle peak of his career, while Huntelaar is just about to start to get into his peak.

I'm not saying that Amauri would be a bad signing, it would be a great signing if we could get him. I am just saying that we should be aiming for Huntelaar first and if we fail, we should go for Amauri.

Amauri are Huntelaar are not similar players though,so not getting one does not really open the door up for the other one.

If we get one in this window, then we aim for the style of the other in the summer (or another time). Which do we need more though? Supporter or centre forward?

Right now we have 3 Supporting Strikers and 2 Centre forwards (Iaquinta playing both roles). So I think we need a Centre forward instead.

Van der Sar wasn't exactly awe inspiring.

People need to seriously read posts carefully before they reply.

Look I never said say Huntelaar will flop for sure, but there is a risk as with any player. Kezman also used to score alot of goals, just like Huntelaar. Kezman joins Chelsea, and he sucked...badly.

Now. people say that having Serie A experience is overrated? well let's look at 4 players that joined us this summer. Sali, Grygera, Tiago, and Criscito. all those have struggled to make an impact here. Sali, and Tiago have showed improvment, but it is a slow one.Not every player is like that. some players adapt immediately while others take up months or even 1-2 seasons to adapt.

yeah sure, Almiron has struggled as well. But Almiron showed in pre-season what he can do, he is just out of form, and him not playing regularly is not helping at all.

but here is another perspective. Let's say Huntelaar does not flop, but rather adapts slowly. Say he takes a season to adapt, not scoring many goals, while Trez continues his current great form. what will happen here? Look at how fickle the fans here are. Many people here want Criscito, Molinaro, Almiron, Tiago, Grygera, Nocerino out because the consider them unimpressive. and only half the season has passed. So seeing this, will anything be different with Huntelaar?

oh really? I thought you can never be 100% sure? and it's ironic you say that he would play great football but not whine. he would likely have to share a rotational position with Trez, and if he plays great football, then you can pretty much assume he would whine if he doesn't play alot. Any footballer playing well wants to play as much matches as possilbe. if you are playing well, would accept only playing half the matches that you could play in? I think not

Huntelaar have a good chance to be great in Serie A, but we have Trez and I don't believe in a Trez-Huntelaar partnership, not with our supercreative midfield :p.

I would go for Benzema but he is gonne cost alot of cash.

van der Meyde was always overhyped shit. That's something you have to watch out for.

But to say that we shouldn't take a chance on Huntelaar is very much pussy-like. In this world, today, you have to take chances if you want success. Either go after the player or get the fuck out of the business.

I agree but not on Huntelaar, as I said with our midfield Huntelaar and Trez together would be bad, our midfield dosen't have enought creavity.

But you must gamble, I would love Benzema,Banega,Augero in Juve.
For me Benzema is worth 30 million euro, he is young and will be a WC attacker for the coming years.

The same with Banega 15 million euro is a good deal, a supertalent like this cost money, but after a season in Juve he could be worth 30 million euro, The potensial in this kids is huge.
