They're talking about 9 to 10 million for Huntelaar. That's out of the question, ofcourse.

we bought him for that money, so I would think at least double that amount would be necessary to sell him.

Yeh common sense tells you that, but we are talking Ajax here. What will happen is that we will be drawn with Inter in the CL and sell KJH to them with about 2 seconds to go before the transfer deadline. :furious3:

sell huntelaar? what a disgusting thought.

To be fair, I think van Geel is a little smarter than that.

I really hope that we keep Huntelaar for quite some time, and I don't see much of a reason for us to pay 9 million euros for him and then sell him for a similar amount 6 months later. Besides, from what I understand the guy likes Ajax a lot, and we should use that!

Is that Trinity, Texas?

Yeah, aveslacker, it is. I talked with you on the old soccerpages board last year, and I've been reading/lurking here ever since, but I haven't posted virtually at all.

But yeah, I'm in Houston now for the summer and as my location says, I'll be in Russia for the fall and Prague in the spring, hopefully able to get to see an Ajax match or two.

But, this is a Huntelaar thread, so I'll have to put something relevant here...I really hope that KJH does superb in Germany, and that he stays here for a few more years-at least 2.

Ahh, right. I remember. Good to see you made it over here.

As far as Huntelaar goes, I'm actually hoping he doesn't get called up/play a lot. I'd like him to stay fresh for next season.

Hmm kind of selfish thinkg but i know where your coming from.......i think if he does go to germany he can help us out alot.

Who would he replace? Van Nistlerooij? He's good, but not nearly as experienced (nor as good - yet) as RvN. Robben, van Pussy, Kuijt? He plays very differently from those guys. Hesselink? Totally different.

Right now the Dutch team has loads of excellent attacking players. In many cases bringing up young players to Oranje too soon has hurt the players more than it has harmed them. Heitinga, de Jong, and Babel are all guys that have been brought to Oranje too early, resulting in some harm to their development as players.

If there were no other options, fine. But Oranje has loads of options, and there is simply nothing to gain in the long term. KJH could well be the striker of the future. Better to let him get integrated into the team/system in the Euro 08 qualifying campaign.

I think this is a typical bit of press , obviously Inter would like him but do they or any other club really think we will sell 5 months after buying him.

A team like Inter will have a dozen names on their wanted list. Any how going there would kill his career just like Van Der Meyde's career.

Klaas just played with Oranje against Jong Oranje, which ended 0-0. Heitinga, Stekelenburg, Sneijder and Babel were part of the team, as were Schilder and Vermeer in the other.

Just the first of many rumors to crop up here in silly season.No doubt in my mind we'll see more KJH rumors, Grygera to... rumors, maybe Heitinga to...also. One would hope the administration at Ajax would review the Ajax before KJH and Ajax after KJH records and immediately reach the conclusion that Ajax are hurtin' for certain without him.

KJH is not going anywhere. Unless I'm very wrong; he loves it at Ajax and is not planning on leaving until he's done something big in Amsterdam!

Hehe I'm afraid that he's done it! KJH is the first Eredivisie topscorer from Ajax since Jari Litmanen in 1994.

Anyway- I think that we all agree that his transfer will be one of the most stupid things we can do at the moment. I hope that his big love for Ajax is not just empty word, and we could see him for a long time...

If he doesn't get called up, won't he go to the U-20's? There he'll definitely get playing time, so he may be fresher for next season if he makes it to the top team.

Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't he OVER 20 now? ;)

Sorry, U-21's

According to this article he is eligible.

I must say that it is a little bit strange... KJH is almost 23 (he was born in 08.1983) so I really don't understand how could he play in U-21 squad...

Man, am I getting old. X'C

I think the age limit counts from when the qualifiers start, which was probably a couple of years ago.

It seems that way.

At the moment Huntelaar has no business playing against less experienced players his own age. I doubt there is much he can learn at that level.

Klass misses out on WC :sad:
