Huntelaar to stay?

Reports are flying around this morning about KJH's comments in an interview that he did with Ajax Life magazine this week. The Eredivisie leading scorer had some interesting things to say about the possibility of working with new Ajax coaches Marco van Basten and Dennis Bergkamp... "As a striker, I’d like to work with the crème de la crème, two former stars from whom I could learn a lot. It is a possibility and that prospect could certainly influence my decision". Also adding to the growing fervor are comments made by Ajax managing director Henri van der Aat, who stated that negotiations with the striker are "proceeding in harmony" and that Ajax was prepared to offer KJH the chance to leave them for a reasonable fee in the summer of 2009 if he stayed another year at the ArenA. Now...any Ajax fan with a memory span of more than 10 months will remember seeing this type of situation before with Wesley Sneijder and its probably nothing more than a negotiation gimmick to get more money out of one of the big clubs, but hey, it would be awesome if he stayed.
