Huntelaar agrees Real Madrid move

[Shanks]

Cheap as Chips. h:



Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has agreed a £17m January transfer window move to Real Madrid, the Spanish giants have said.

The Ajax striker, 25, who will be the sixth Dutch player at the Bernabeu, will sign a contract until 2013.

A number of Premier League clubs including Arsenal and Manchester United were thought to be tracking Huntelaar.

The Netherlands international will be seen as a replacement for Ruud van Nistelrooy, who will be out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.

Didn't take him long. He might be just want they need since they are six points behind.

Sneijder is the biggest loss.

Not rated him but he's got his chance will be interesting to see how he does. I believe a lack of pace would be his undoing in the English game.

He is more or less the same type of player as RvN. He would cope with the PL without any problem IMO.

I do think that Ajax will get an even better player in Marcus Berg.

Are they putting all of this transfer money into youth development?

Or paying the Trainers/Scouts a hell of a lot of money..



Johan Cruyff
Edwin van der Sar
Dennis Bergkamp
Marco van Basten
Ryan Babel,
Wesley Sneijder,
Rafael van der Vaart
John Heitinga
Steven Pienaar
Edwin van der Sar
Michael Reiziger
Frank de Boer
Danny Blind
Ronald de Boer
Edgar Davids
Clarence Seedorf
Patrick Kluivert
Marc Overmars
Jari Litmanen
Nwankwo Kanu
Finidi George.

you forget the legend that was Arron Winter! I'm sure there are loads more left of the list, it is quite incredible how well Ajax have done over the years in rearing players.

As for Huntelaar, guess a lot of clubs were interested but perhaps no one was quite sure if he would turn out to be more RVN or Kuyt/Kezmen type player. But 76 goals in 92 games is unreal!

Or Dirk Kuyt

Do you think they'll play him on the wing?

That is surely a swedish bias you have there mate! He is a decent player but nothing to get worked up about IMO...

I heard they where looking to Djiby Fall from OB in DK as a replacement...

[slimbimjim]

Do you think they'll play him on the wing?

Do you think you'll ever stop?

[MrMichael]

Do you think they'll play him on the wing?

No, knowing Madrid they just won't play him at all........

[Parm]

Or Dirk Kuyt

kuyt rocks but he aint from Ajax
