Again, Milan have been utter shit. Why r people still trying to say he's crap ? Even Pato has looked shit in this Milan side and doesn't look anywhere near the 40m that Chelsea were offering for him.
Even in the RM circus he has scored even though he didn't start well. I still rate Hunter as he still has good instincts in the box but I don't think he'd fit in Manutd side. If he goes for Spurs ? Then fine, I think he'd do a good job there.
Needs to show that potential. Hardly had a good game for Spurs yet, to be fair Ekotto has been rock solid and I rate him as a really good LB.
Has Bale been on the winning side for Spurs yet ? I'm sure he hasn't last season or was that 2 seasons ago ?
Bale has had several good games for Spurs and has several times been on the winning side for Spurs, even if it's only recently that he's finally been on the winning side for Spurs in a league match.
However, I agree with you that he needs to further develop and show his potential.
Came off the bench for milan tonight with 7 mins left and scored both goals in a 0-2 win over Catania. 2nd goal was a touch of class.
This might be the kick start his milan career needed.

Did he score both goals in or around the same minute? Or am I drunk?
I am drunk to be fair.

A master finisher. No doubt.
That wont erase 2 excellent goals in injury time
Catana are the worst team of serie A. He scored 2 goals, the 2nd has been fantastic
I turned on the TV to see the replay of the Milan match. It was like the 88th minute, and 0-0. Saw both goals, and they were brilliant, especially the second. My Milan supporting friend said, while he has been disappointing, he really hasn't been given much time.
2nd goal was orgasmic
His second goal was pure class, demonstrated exactly what he is capable of. Maybe this will transform his career at Milan.
2nd Goal was outstanding, I'd say it was on par with Rooney's chip in Vs Portsmouth.
Magnificent chip. Thats 'The Hunter' at his clinical best. Im pleased for him because I want to see him succeed at AC Milan.
He could be a good option for quite a few teams that are looking for a player for the short term.. He could do a job at either Liverpool considering Torres has had an awful season with injuries.. or he could even come to Man Utd if Berbatov does need that surgery that could keep him out for 3 months.. What do you guys think?
I don't like him very much tbf, but a loan deal a la Larsson might be a good idea?
Failure at Madrid. Failure at AC Milan. Hmm...
Truth is, he's just not that good. Kuyt, Kezman etc.
loan deal would be good
As I've been saying for a while now regarding Huntelaar possibly coming to us.....yes please.
I think hes getting alot of unfair criticism here.
Hes an outstanding finisher who needs to be properly integrated into a team to deliver. Something that never happened at Madrid and not yet at Milan.
I think they would be foolish to sell him now especially as the service he is likely to get from Beckham and an in-form Ronaldinho will really suit his style. I think he can succeed at milan if they just give him the chance.

I agree with Decotron
He wouldnt bring anything that Owen doesnt have.
He's not good enough for a top club to build their team around him and hasnt been able to make an impact at 2 big cubs from the bench and as a bit part player. He'd be brilliant for a side like Everton.
Glad we didn't waste 20 million on him like was being reported at one time. He's not worth more then 10 million, and even that would be a gamble.
While he clearly hasn't been a success at Milan, I think it's unfair to say the same about his brief stint at Madrid. His face simply didn't fit once the new regime took over. Consider this - he played 20 games (7 as sub) and scored 8 goals for them, all in the league, and all after joining in the January transfer window. That's not to say I think we should sign him, but at least give a player his due.
Why was he a failure at Madrid exactly? He had 8 goals in 13 starts, that's a great strike rate. Like any striker, he needs consistency and confidence that comes from playing regularly and being backed by manager and fans. I think he'd be great for us.
In both clubs he hasn been added as the big arrival, he has been added more to be a cover player, unfair for him. He rarely plays and in that way you wont ever be able to show your quality. The funny stuff is he has score various goals in his few mins on the field.
Put a paper bag over his head and the story changes.
The problem is that you have to play him as the focal point of your attack. He's purely a finisher and therefore doesn't always fit into all formations and tactics. Milan can't use him - Borriello does all the hard work that Huntelaar doesn't do, despite being a worse finisher, which means that he can play alongside Ronaldinho (who doesn't track back) and Pato (who's too small and lightweight to make any meaningful contribution in tracking back). He's far too one-dimensional to fit into many formations, which is why when teams shift to put him as the focal point in attack (i.e. they throw Huntelaar on and pump balls forward) then he does score. However, he doesn't complete the team at all.
So no, he's never had the chance to shine but that's because he's never fit into Real Madrid nor Milan's tactics.
Physique and probably a bit quicker and mobile... I would take him on a loan! Wouldn't want him here perminant mind you.
Really? He is bigger, quicker, fitter and more mobile than Owen 2010.
Good post. At the top level most strikeforces have just the one central player. And that person needs to have exceptional physical attributes - see Drogba (strength) or Torres (pace) or outstanding technical attributes - see Ibrahimovic or Villa.
I reckon Milan view Huntelaar as a long-term replacement for Pipo Inzaghi. There probably won't be room for him in the team on a regular basis, but he's a good enough goalsmith to have coming off the bench as and when required.
Agreed
I don't see the point bringing him here unless someone is going to go.
Rooney, Berbatov, Owen, Diouf, Welbeck + Macheda.
If we're going to get someone then it should be someone that plays on the left wing.

Quicker? Really? Maybe on long distances.
He is better than Owen and a very good finisher, would be a very good option alongside Rooney.
He's taller but he barely uses his body. He's certainly not more mobile than Owen, but he'd probably have finished more of the good chances Owen has had this season.
