yup..... Wesley Sneijder will be very good and young also, Real Madrid payed €27 million to Ajax for Sneijder, but considering the fact that Real is desperate to offload some player's.. we can grab him cheaply.

Kaka out ... Huntelaar in.

I'm confused. I don't understand why everyone's so happy. Keep in mind that we also went for the cheapest option out of the three (Dzeko, Fabiano, Huntelaar). I also hope this doesn't rule out signing Dzeko next year.

So is this it, after we sign Huntelaar are we done with the market? are there any indications we're going for a fullback or a midfielder? I would like to see Sneijder here, but he is by no means a world-class player (well not yet at least). We are in desperate need of an attacking midfielder to take Dinho's spot when he's injured or tired.

We have a Non-EU spot open. Does anyone think we will use it this summer? Lol remember how we were begging for the federation to have 3 Non-EU spots so we can buy both Hernanes and Dzeko?

Dutchie I have seen plenty of KJH as we get the Dutch league here and La Liga and I agree with you totally. He is a natural born finisher and a very very good player he's not just about poaching when he passes the medical I will be very happy to have him at Milan and am excited to see him and Pato tear up Serie A.

Two players that potentially can get 20 + goals each....at last something to smile about.

@ dutchieMilan

I've been following the Hunter since his AGOVV days, I'm always very excited about new young talents and I see much more of the Eredivisie than of our own belgian league.

He was my favourite player when he was at Heerenveen. I never understood why PSV didnt gave him a real chance there.

BTW: his style reminds me of van nistelrooy, do you agree with that?
this wouldnt be a bad thing as RvN scored many many goals for man utd and real madrid. also his scoring record in the champions league is amazing!

true, Sneijder would be a brilliant transfer! he's the kind of player we really need. as much as I hate that little prick, he would be good transfer

Man, I am not happy just simply relieved!

Oh yes....sorry didnt understand,just woke up you know.

He has several strong points,i will mention the strongest ones: He is incredible strong in the air,do you know how Pippo heads?Hunter is just the same,in aerial challenges he ALMOST NEVER loses,he just is so strong in the air its really incredible,he has scored many goals with his head,he never aims wrong.We finally have a forward who can head the ball in without to much trouble and who can benefit from our crosses,finally,we can force something in the air,because with Hunter thats not a problem.

His finishing skills are also amazing,i really cant remember him missing one on one with the goalkeeper,he ALWAYS scores when he gets the chance,ALWAYS!His finishing skills are also similiar to Pippo's,its just that he cant miss,and the most perfect thing is he doesnt need to have a good chance to score,he has scored many goals from difficult places wich seemed impossible,so he can do it out of all kind positions.

I also want to give some attention to his techniqual ablity,because it seems that it is worring some posters here,he can do much more then what is assumed here on this forum,just like Ibra,i have seen Klaas-Jan give many times split passes through defences or brilliant assists,he isnt Pato or Kaka,thats for sure,but he contributes to our team play with a huge impact,he isnt like RVN,who waits for the ball and then when he gets it he finish it off,Hunter is more active and tries to involve himself with the teamplay,and when he has the ball he isnt that clumsy on it but he can acctually free himself up with his technique,he can do much more then only finishing.He scored backflips,free-kicks everything,so he can also score beatifull goals.

He is also a free-kick master,just so you know that,scored many goals at Ajax from free-kicks,and a static striker cant score beatiful crossy free-kicks hm........

He also shows up in BIG AND SMALL games,at Ajax,he scored against PSV and Feyenoord but also in CL against Inter,while he also crushed small teams at his own.So no problemo there.Oh,and when he plays bad he even manages to score,so thats also a good thing.

Why are people saying that Dutch League you get more space then Serie A so it is less hard to score?Against Ajax all teams play with all their people in the box to prevent them to score,so Huntelaar is already uses to 9-man defenses,who he crushed by the way,he was always marked with more then one guy and still scored more then one goal sometimes.

He will also be a great partner with Pato,how do i know that?Because Huntelaar succeed upfront at Ajax with Suarez,a similiar player to Pato who has also incredible speed and technique,so if he could do it with Suarez(they really played good together)then he should also do it with Pato,they are the same,only Pato is better so it should be easier.

He only uses his body when needed,usely when he gets the ball and he can shoot he doesnt wait and tries to first do fancy things etc.he always aims and shoots precisely just like a real HUNTER.But when he needs to open up space for other players or hang on the ball,sure he uses his body,but he isnt like Toni who always puts his body in because he cant do anything else,just like i said: He can do more then only score.

On the ground he is good,giving split paces and sometimes good one-two's with other players,he isnt Pato but he is decent enough,he was trained at Ajax IMO,there if you cant play soccer on the ground fast,then you are not Ajax-material.

The fact that he grew up at Ajax should already remove all doubts about how he is in terms of technique......

He is also dynamic,he has to give a assist or score goals and thats his goal for the matches,he said in a interview,he works 90 minutes full for that one moment and when he gets it he finishes it.

Hope you have know got some picture about Huntelaar.

Milan general manager Adriano Galliani has confirmed that the Rossoneri have reached an agreement with Real Madrid to sign Klaas Jan Huntelaar, and that the Dutchman will arrive at San Siro tonight where he will then undergo a medical before signing his official contract.

The Italian giants have been chasing a striker all summer, and owner Silvio Berlusconi yesterday announced that the club would sign a top class hitman.

Reports then broke in the evening in the Italian media that Milan had signed Huntelaar for € 15 million, and Galliani has now confirmed that the 25-year-old is almost a Rossoneri player.

“With Real Madrid there is already an agreement on everything," Galliani told Sky Sport 24.

"It is not true that there is still no fax from Madrid, the agreement has been finalized.

“Huntelaar will arrive in Milan this evening, then we will perform his medical and he will sign the contract.”

Milan fans will be hoping that Huntelaar's medical passes without any hiccups, following the collapse of Aly Cissokho's move from Porto earlier this summer.

FORZA MILAN!

Benvenuto Klaas. Another gifted goalscorer with a chance to put on the beautiful red and black.

I see many of you aksing questions about Dzeko, so here we go. Dzeko was BY FAR the best attacking option we had, though too expensive. It's not just one good season, Dzeko is magnificent for our NT also. In couple of years he'll be the best no. 9 in Europe. For 23 years old, he's positional sense is brilliant, he's pretty quick, REALLY strong, with two good foots, great in the air and clinical finisher. As for Misimovic, he's very good AM playmaker with great vision, passing and technique. Though he wouldn't suit us because we have Ronaldinho and, if you would consider him Seedorf's replacement, no, he cannot defend.

@ Dutchie-Milan

I've never seen Huntelaar in a full match, but I've seen a lots of clips. From those, I made conclusions that he's a striker with great possitional sense, pretty strong, with amazing shooting (he can shoot from any position, he strongly reminds me on Van Basten here), good finisher, good in the air, and a solid techique. But one thing that bothers me is his speed. So I ask you: how quick he is? Quickness-wise, who would you compare him to? I tried to get as many informations about him as possible, so I've heard that he's not faster than Van Nistelrooy.
