I dont know much about hofs.Huntelaar looks a fantastic prospect every time ive seen him, but as far as truth behind it, it doesnt seem wengers style to pay more for huntelaar straight after hes gone to Ajax, he is indeed a future star but i would suspect wenger already knew about him in his heerenveern days and would have taken him then for a much lesser fee if any.
Just my opinion.

Hofs is a very good attacking midfielder , lets say a young Bowyer. Huntelaar iis someone that i would love , hes there at the right time and can put the ball in the net

Huntelaar won't leave Ajax for the next three to four years. Take my word for it.
I don't know no Hofs?

I think Wenger is finally pissed off about our pass first mentality- Huntelaar is a player who just shoots- Which is what we desperately need right now.
Convincing him to come shouldn't be as difficult seeing as RvP can put in a few good words about Arsenal.
If he was to come in- I would say Ade n' Ali would have to go. We just got Baptista and Bendtner,Lupoli and Walcott are all goin to be more mature- Are skilled enough to fight for a spot.
I don't know much of Hofs

Huntelaar was the first player to score in the Emirates.
If you believe in fate (which many of you will think it is BS)
Bringing this boy in will bring positive effect to the stadium.

Although i dont see Huntelaar signing for us this season, i feel he could fit in our system . He is lethal in front of goal and much better at headers than Ade. Moreover, he has a direct approach and doesnt mind shooting ( something that has been lacking this season with Henry trying to be a playmaker).
Another player i would want us to sign would be Castelen or Ribery as they are genuine wingers and would offer us more width.

oh yes would not mind huntelaar at all, but we'd best leave him alone as he's probably better playing 4-3-3...but then again, maybe mr wenger could convert him

both are fantastic prospect, especially if huntelaar comes. if we provide any decent service for him, he will score loads of goals.

Decent service is not exactly something to come to Arsenal for. I don't really think that Huntelaar fits in with how we play, as good as he is.
I know nothing about the other guy, but would much rather see a real winger come in. Watched Valencia-Athletico this past weekend, and Vicente is so valuable for them. Not saying we need him, just a player like him.

When was the last time arsenal bought a youngster we knew about barring walcott, as soon as they are great prospects arsenal are linked with them, way arsenal get players is totally different from any team in the world, sometimes frustrating but many occasions very rewarding, Cesc Fabregas perfect example.

I'm with you....Ade is great and is currently a better striker than RVP (who should be played wide). I am sick of Arsenal "fans" who are Ade-haters!!

So all you Ade supporters, I'm guessing you'd agree we don't need Huntelaar? Ade is actually a year younger than him as well...

I just think huntelaar is not realistic.He went for 9mil euros or whatever it was only very recently.Why would he move again so soon? Why would ajax allow it? This means wenger will spend at least upwards of 9?
Ade btw.....give him a chance.Henry wasnt amazing for a significant time, longer than ade has been at the club.Hes powerful, has shown he has skill, holds the ball up, takes his time and so on.Lets allow him to develop under wenger and not condemn too quickly.

I'm a big fan of Huntelaar, but Bendtner should be given a chance. Personally I think he's got the potential to be even better then Huntelaar.

I wouldnt mind Huntelaar, but this would seriously disrupt the development of Bendtner?
Bendtner already has a fair bit of competition, but yeh, i really owuldnt mind Huntelaar, hes proven hes a good goalscorer

Hehe, knew i'd touch a few nerves.
I'm sorry but i just dont think that Ade is Arsenal material, thats my opinion, you guys have yours and i'm fine with that.

Huntelaar only makes sense if we start playing 4-3-3. He's a very very good CF, poaches well, BUT lacks movement/pace.
Anyway don't think Huntelaar will leave Ajax this or next season.
On Nicky Hofs. He's a talented attacking mid playing for Feyenoord (so I see him every week). Did very well for Holland U21 this summer. But not good enough (yet, maybe never) to play in Arsenal starting line-up (not close yet). The only midfielder with enough class to play at Arsenal is 19 year old versatile Canadian midifelder/attacker Jonathan De Guzman (as he showed in a preseason friendly v Chelski when he owned Lamps, Ballack & Essien). Lots of big clubs want him (expect him too stay in Holland for a few years).
By the way if you start a thread in transfer talk & rumours at least get the players name right.

I would love Huntelaar at Arsenal. He's just what we need, a true all round striker. He can dribble, shoot, pass, head and has lots of skills. The guy is born to score.
