guys,
can't believe that so many of you are forgetting that Huntelaar is cup-tied for this year's CL, Milan would never pay so much money for a cup tied player - 15 mil at least - especially when we already have 2 target men in Pippo and Gila.

I do agree that if Gila fails to improve this year (IMO he would definitely be sold) or Pippo retires or something of the kind, Huntelaar would be one of the better choices for a young, promising first striker but not right now, not this year when he is cup-tied.

Also, let's not get ahead of ourselves in thinking that Huntelaar would just walk into the squad and become the new MvB - he lacks experience at the big level and is still relatively unproven given that the Dutch League is the only place where he has delivered so far - not in the NT, not in CL bar one odd goal vs Inter 2-3 years ago, nowhere.
In fact, contrary to popular believe, Gila's stats are way more impressive and achieved at a higher level of the game.

my point is exactly what Siregar suggested - Dinho is now a EU player, Etoo will soon be one too and Milan still has time to pull something out of the hat ... if it doesn't work with one of those two (Dinho in particular), then I wouldn't be suprised if the rabbit takes the form of Mr. Baptista on August 30th or 31st

Huntelaars stats are still better than Oliviera for example, he does have alot of potential and isnt bad at the international stage. However i agree, i would prefer us to sign him now for next year. Thus beating off the competition and seing how he does for Ajax this year in the champ league. Also for us seing how Gilardino and Inzaghi do this year. Inzaghi will be 35 next summer and strikers dont usually stay on much later than that.

Seing how Huntelaar is though, i think he is more inline to get "van Basten" heir than Van nistelrooy if he lives upto his potential.

Baptista would be a huge let down compared to signing Ronaldinho or Eto.

And to be honest i dont want anymore brazilians in the team. We have enough!

So you dont want Ronaldinho or Adriano?

Nope. I would rather have Quagliarella and Huntelaar. Milan is a Italian team, even the great 90s teams had a huge italian majority.

Milan will never loose the italian flair,Never.....we have

Pippo,Gila,Ambro,Oddo, Rino,Pirlo-who play for the national team
Nesta & Maldini - legends and retired from NT
Bonera - potential NT player
Brochi
add to that that our coaching staff are consisted of three italians: Carlo,Tassoti,Billy.

This is all italian team,the brazilian flair just gives us the edge over the others but we are Italian team all over.

Huntelar is not italian.

I think Huntelaar would be a great signing for the serie A season for this year. It would allow Pippo to rest for the champions league and other cups we are planning on winning this season. In a way it would be nice because he would have to earn playing in the CL with Milan by helping us get a top 4 spot in the serie A season. Just a thought.

i know, hes dutch. But it worries me that 3 of the last 4 players we signed are Brazilian (not including ba). And Belusconi has this Brazilian dream...

Zlat it's simple, buy Ronaldinho & Huntelaar. What's the problem?

Pato ... and the guy above the guy in my avatar

Why is Pato a problem? Pato & Huntelaar would form an awesome strikeforce i reckon.
