Looks wierd doesn't it?

Yeah, I'm finding it hard to look at this picture too. KJH was unveiled today at the Bernabeu, where he will try to put some life into the struggling title hopes of the Madrid team. I guess we should all be happy for him, right? He's a class act and deserves a chance to win at the highest level. Besides, it will be really cool to watch Madrid if Huntelaar shows up next to Sneijder, Robin and van der Vaart.

Whats next for Ajax? According to Danny Blind, not much. His comments on the matter? "We have already signed Klaas Jan's successor". Whats this, a new signing already? No, unfortunately Danny was just referring to Dario Cvitanich, a player that honestly has a lot of potential, but has yet to show much for all the hype. Think about it though...sure KJH is a special player and was by far the biggest offensive threat that Ajax has had for years, but how much of an impact has he really had recently? When the transfer rumors started flying around last year, Huntelaar just seemed to slip into a funk that he only partially came out of this season before injuring his ankle. Suarez has picked up a lot of slack, the previously "unwanted" Leonardo has scored goals at crucial moments this season and I can totally see Miralem Sulejmani returning to the form that attracted Ajax to him last year. I ain't sweatin it!

What a surprising win in Hamburg last week, tough to loose points at home to Utrecht though. Today's UEFA Cup results did see Ajax through to the knockout stages, taking a lot of pressure out of the last group stage match against Slavia Prague. The knockout round includes the top 3 teams from each group and 8 Champions League drop-outs. 32 teams...that's a long way to go to reach Istanbul.
