Jase 43,479 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Good. We don't need him at all. He can go stay at Schalke till he retires for all I care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,889 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Meeh, maybe if we signed him when he actually looked like he had good potential. Hes far too injury prone and average now a days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raghavchamp 2 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I think we should be definately trying for Klass-Jan Huntelaar.He's 29 yr old,so has a atleast 2-3 good years left in him.Has been known as a poacher or goalscorer and plays with Dutch National Team regularly.He's scored loads of goals for Schalke and is crucially in the last year of his contract.If we could get him for say 7-8 million or anything under 10 million,i think it would be an absolute steal...!!!....He would be a brilliant backup to Fernando Torres and chip in with his share of goals.Plus that can give us the leverage to sell Sturridge if we get a brilliant deal for him of about say 20-25 million from Liverpool or Spurs.His signing wont put too much pressure on Nando as Cavani's or Falcao's definately would be detrimental to his confidence.We need to back him fully now that he's showing signs of coming back to life because am sure if he starts firing on all cylinders we all know there's isn't a better Striker in the World for sure.Am hoping and have faith that Torres will be be good and we have to stick with him.Now, the only problem here is to convince Huntelaar to come.I hope he'll be lured by getting to play in PL and at a big club like Chelsea and looking at the season,he'll surely have his fair no. of games.So in the end all i would say is that we can pull of a coup at the end of transfer window if we can be a bit clever...just hoping this reaches the Club Officials somehow...!!!...

calculatingInfinity 1,478 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Not exactly the age group Chelsea has been looking for players in the last years and imo, just not good enough. There's a reason he failed at both Real and Milan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raghavchamp 2 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 He isn't going to be first choice here.....he'll be backup to Torres.As for Madrid and Milan,he never really got a proper chance at both the clubs tbh.He was injureda lot for Milan and played just 25 games in one season and scored 7...which is a decent return considering the injury.He's scored 62 goals in 81 games for Schalke...!!!...So he's a goalscorer for sure.Also,sturridge doesn't seem to have patience or attitude to play for us and no matter how good he could be he isn't a team player and definately not better than Torres at this time,so getting 20-25million would be too good to turn down.

bluesman2610 1,423 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 contract coming up in june doesn't look like he is going to resign could possibly get hi on free or for as little as 8m.. even with his injury history i rate him highly he scores 1 goal every 90minutes..thats pretty impressive.. we have taken a chance on marin for such a small fee why not Klaas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I've said this many times over this thread but Huntelaar would be a terrible, terrible buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 No thanks. Would rather see us go for Llorente, who is also out of contract next summer, as he offers something different to what we already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker10 946 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Because Marin is a young player with a bag of potential, and Huntelaar is the poster boy for the "big fish small pond" theory.Well not really fair, i still think Huntelaar is an excellent striker and could do well at a "big club."Didn't think he did that bad at Real Madrid. Consider he wasn't even a primary choice with Raul and Higuain at the club. He was only there for half a season during a bad time at the club, wasn't a instant success but neither was Benzema who was awful for nearly a season a half. Benzema was strongly backed at the club got numerous opportunity, something KJH didn't get.Didn't follow him closely at Milan, so can't make a strong judgement on his spell at Milan. But i can say in his first year at Schalke he was pretty bad on par with performances at Madrid and Milan, you could see a striker out of form and lacking confidence. He turned it around last season.From my observation i think he can succeed at a big club, he had difficult circumstances at Milan and Madrid, neither team showed great support in him. If Schalke sold him or allowed him to leave like his two previous clubs after his first season, we would probably say he can't succeed outside of the Eredivisie since he wasn't an instant success there either. Who knows if either Milan and Madrid gave him more support, we probably won't be calling him poster boy for the "big fish small bond" theory.He is a fantastic striker, he can succeed at a "big club." I personally consider Schalke and Ajax big clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesman2610 1,423 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 like my fellow poster said above at madrid was not given a fair shake of it and still in 20 games had 8 goals.. at milan injured and didn't have the attacking midfielders that could find him in the spaces he took up still in 25 games had 7 goals.. now you look at him in the bundesliga top scorer last season and for shalke 39 goals in 58 games... i think the proof is in the stats he still has pace to give similiar stats for another 2 years..and if you truly watch him he doesn't score the same goals hes a clinical finisher give him half a sniff and he will score...it just makes more sense to spend 8m for him in january then to spend another 45-50m on a brillant option but how much can we really spend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
