Klaas Jan Hunterlaar is a role model in his native Holland. His goal scoring record there was immense and when he moved to Real Madrid from Ajax only people could see him succeeding there. However, another story occurred. Hunterlaar was used mainly as a sub and was considered a flop. They preferred there role model Raul. True, keeping the fans happy is a good idea. But, winning games is alot more crucial. And Hunterlaar would score alot more if he got the games that Raul got. Instead he was used a sub. 8 goals in 20 LaLiga games is not terrible. It was his first season and he did need to adapt.
The Hunter has now signed a deal for AC Milan. He wasn't the striker I wanted to see at Madrid. I wanted to see a younger Thierry Henry at Madrid which could run past defences. Not a goal poacher, like the Hunter. Madrid needed a player like Luis Fabiano or Edin Dzeko. However, I feel with him and Pato together. Both players can adapt and both will be able to change their style slightly to complement each other's skills.
I feel that Milan was cheap. They didn't want to stump up the money for Dzeko. So Gallaini said to Leonardo. We can't buy Dzeko. and Leonardo replied who? Well we have 15 million euros. So Hunterlaar maybe. And Leonardo said anything is better then Borellio.
Milan has made many mistakes this season. Selling Gourcuff is the major one. Perfect replacement for Kaka. Ancelotti didn't like him and then, sold him and then, left Milan? WHAT! So, he sold a great playmaker !
Give me your opinions on the Hunter?
