20 mill for Huntelaar? That seems steep to me. How much did Real pay for him?
to be honest,i don't quite understand the fascination with this Huntelaar dude...
i was told that he's good,but i wasn't impressed when he played at Real...
and he seems like a poor man's version of Ruud van Nistelrooy to me...
well, one thing that real have done is drive up the prices of all players including their own. and milan are desperate for young, attacking players. especiallywith the protests their fans are doing right now.
whether or not 20m euros or pounds is too much for huntelaar...i dunno. but the market determines the prices, right? and real's spending spree andmanchester city have inflated the prices in this transfer market.
as for huntelaar, he is a poor man's ruud. he's a goal poacher. he'll have the odd curling shot or drive from outside the box, but like ruud,i've always thought he was best when he operates in the box and gets in the right position and opportunities to score. he did have a scoring streak lastseason at real.
it's not impressive nor is it fancy. but most poachers aren't. you won't see him take a man on via dribble and beat a defender. but he'sefficient (though not as efficient as ruud in his prime).
