I've been waiting to hear something official about this one for a while, I hope we don't have to wait much longer.
Huntelaar is pure class and can score goals in any situation. He surely has superstar potential written all over him, he just needs a team like Juve to give him a shot at a big league. Get it done and we'll have a suitable striking option for years to come, especially with Trez packing his bags.

That's why I said he has superstar potential, as opposed to flat out calling him a world-class player.
But I honestly think his goal scoring record at Ajax (and the variety of ways in which he scores them) over the last two years is no fluke. Sure, if you have one 20+ season then yeah.. you've proven nothing. But being the top scorer two years in a row and 30+ goals in one of them, I think you have proven you have a nose for goal. Plus he had two good seasons with SC Heerenveen as well.
The question is whether Serie A is a league in which he can flourish. I think he can. He's got the composure and technique to do well but, maybe more importantly, he has great instincts and movement around the goal. He's the kind of goal scorer that will make quick work out of loose balls and rebounds in the box. That's a great trait when playing with the likes of Neddy.
I know he's still got a long way to go, but I think he'd be a natural fit at the club.

Real honestly?
In Holland my favorite club is PSV.
Knowing that Huntelaar is PSV material and plays at Ajax is shit.
But well, he played at AGOVV, as I said before a professional club in the 2nd highest league in Holland.
He scored like hell, but ofcourse nobody actualy really believed he would make it.
Then he played for Heerenveen, a good 1st season, and an incredible 2nd season with 17 goals in 15 games.
After that he went to Ajax and continued with what he was doing best : scoring.
The facts don't lie : 139 games and 97 goals.
That's around 0.7 goals a game, a lot differend then Iaquinta's 0.3 goals a game.
Ajax have often tried to make a play with Huntelaar, and make him more important in the build up. They actually failed with that, so his nickname 'The Hunter' isn't just a made up story. He's a lonely striker that just needs one chance to score. He's a kind of Trezeguet player. Waits for his chance and then strikes really hard. Although he isn't the biggest striker of Europe, he often scores with his head. Also he's very smart, like a striker should be. Knows when to run for a ball and when not.
The only negative thing about him, is that I don't like his attitude. He's great, so when he scores a very important goal, he starts to smile like : ''hehe, I did it again.'' Next to that, he sometimes can over-react, like kicking back at his marker. But I think that when he matures, he can be top class.
I only hope our trainer doesn't fuck him up like Capello did with Ibrahimovic.
