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
