Huntelaar - Is He A Rafa Player?

[Red Chilli]

Zlatan and Elmander.

Not my cup of tea

[Whitey85]

Rafa likes Mario Gomez.

No idea. What is a "Rafa type" anyway? It was "He wont bring in someone who's been in prison, he isn't a Rafa type". He did,

"He wont bring in someone who's had falling outs at other clubs and is currently involved in a police investigation" He did.

"He wont bring back a 30+ past it striker who's always injured" He did.

etc etc

He won't bring in a 25 million pound player-he did
He won't bring in someone lazy like Torres - he did.

Like I said, if they're good enough and available, Rafa will sign them.

He likes players who work for the team and amongst the really talented players such as Reina, Garcia, Alonso and Torres he loves the real work horses, the ones who are like working donkeys that can carry out his rigid instructions.

Like every manager in world football then really?

As opposed to player who work for the opposition?

Ive been watching a few old Ajax games from last season and its the first time ive seen this lad properly other than the usual youtube compilations.

The boy is a lethal finisher, no 2 ways about it, doesnt seem to have a weakness in that he's 2 footed good in the air, holds the ball up well, good first touch, maybe a tad slow, but his positioning in the box is sublime IMO

For me, hes just the type of player we need, praps for next season, i just wonder whether he has enough in his locker in terms of work rate for Rafa to be interested in him.

I read somewhere that he may be looking to move on next season, do you think Rafa would be interested in him? I have my doubts tbh

One small glitch - the clips you've seen of huntelaar are against the same opposition that Kuyt was banging them in against (and kezman for that matter!). Who's to say Huntelaar would do any better against premiership defences?

Same league, but just look at the player and what he does on the pitch.
A lot of difference in quality imo.
