Huntelaar

[reuque]

From @carriebaird's (she's a football agent if I'm not mistaken) twidder: VI-tv discussed Huntelaar maybe to Liverpool in summer, he'll be free & both parties supposedly have concrete interest.

Yay or nay?

 

[gkmacca]

Yup.

 

[Ryan]

Carrie Baird knows Dutch football. She's always good on twitter.

 

[Hansern]

Yep, hasnt signed a new contract and can sign a pre contract with a club in 2 months.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Our needs are more pressing, a Jan move would be better.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Another brittle striker who can go months without a goal.

Great.

Great.

"brittle"

Here's his appearance record over the last 4 seasons:

2009-10: 30
2010-11: 35
2011-12: 47
2012 (To date): 13

He's scored 74 goals in that time too.

 

[irishred]

Huntelaar would be a phenomenal signing in terms of where we are at the minute.

 

[Ryan]

I’m not the biggest Huntelaar fan to have ever existed, but to suggest someone who’s scored 74 goals in his last 125 games wouldn’t help us right now is fucking mental.

For the right deal, we should be all over him like a Topman suit.

 

[DHSC]

Yes if we can get him in January. But if we had to wait until next season then would there be any point?

Depends on what our striker choices are next season and how much money we have to spend.

 

[DHSC]

Thing is, he can sign a pre-contract in 2 months. I hope we can get him in January. We seriously need strikers, and Huntelaar would be great. I wouldn't mind overpaying a bit for him.

 

[Y1]

But can he play the BR system? 😛

I was going to say ... this guy doesn't get injured and scores goals (albeit at a slower pace when he's on the bench more - i.e. Madrid and Milan)

You forget which forum you were on again? 😉

 

[Rosco]

No, Rodgers' system is so revolutionary nobody can actually play it.

 

[Y1]

So he will be another AC if signed?

 

[gkmacca]

That's up to Rodgers.

 

[Hansern]

Seeing as he's:
a) Dutch
b) played in a 4-3-3 at Ajax
c) and for the Dutch national team in the same system

I think its safe to say this wont be another AC. Wheter or not he'll succseed is another matter, but he'll fit in.

 

[keniget]

My concern is that he'll be a bit like Dzeko at City - great at scoring goals - but a player that the manager doesn't really want to trust in because he doesn't contribute enough otherwise.

Someone decent in during Jan plus Huntelaar in the Summer

Suarez, Huntelaar, TBD, Borini + Yesil

Doesn't sound too shabby.

For GK's sake

Yesil, Suarez, Huntelaar, TBD + Borini

 

[cloggypop]

Huntelaar and Suarez reunion sounds good to me .

I'd settle for that.

Yesil, Suarez, Huntelaar, TBD + Borini

Forgive me, who is TBD?

 

[Mamma Mia]

Terence Bo-Dog.

Latest sensation.

 

[Y1]

Forgive me, who is TBD?

The Best Defender?
or
The Bullocks Definitely?

 

[Silver Sean]

I thought it was The Boy ..... as in the boy Mellor.

 

[Mamma Mia]

To be disclosed is what it actually meant.

I prefer T Bo-Dog.

 

[Eric Swindler]

Huntellaar = goal machine. Is a old enough though - would FSG look for someone more long-term?
