Real Madrid Sign Klaas-Jan Huntelaar From Ajax

Marca, AS, El Mundo, Cadena SER and Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, have all confirmed that Real Madrid signed Ajax' striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar for an unknown fee.
The striker has been chased by many European clubs, however, it seems that he wanted to join his Dutch friends in Madrid.
Huntelaar's record is very impressive. He has scored 75 goals in 90 matches he played for his club and with his national team he scored 7 goals in just 11 matches.
Huntelaar will be able to play in the Champions League of course after he recovers from his injury from which he'll fully recover in January.
He'll certainly strengthen our attacking line. I have always thought that Villa would be better because he is more experienced, Spanish and stuff, but getting him is pretty difficult and I'm convinced that the club made a good signing because if you look at the strikers available in the market, you'd realize that it is rare that there is one capable of playing for Real Madrid.
Some people might argue that Benzema would have been a better choice, but I think that Real paid a reasonable fee for Huntelaar, while if we wanted Benzema we would have paid something like 50m euros which is a lot of money.
So, Ramon Calderon promised that he'd announce two signings today. This is the first one, apparently, who do you think is the second? Arshavin or Tevez?
Hala Madrid!
P.S: I'd like to thanks TheAngleOfMadrid for reporting this earlier in the comment section here.

I do believe this is yet to be official. Huntelaar has agreed terms but Ajax have around 48 hours to give their final verdict on whether to close the deal or not. They let him negotiate in the first place sho i'm pretty certain we can expect to see him in our #19 jersey in the January. And I think the second isn't Tevez, it'll be either Di Maria or Arshavin though I feel Di Maria fits the description. Huntelaar is a god signing and he's a great replacement for RVN as they're both goal-poachers and beautiful finishers. It'll be cool seeing them play together when RVN returns. Hala Madird! 
Calderon also promised two big sinings in july do you guys think real will go for benzema now that we have a new foward.

What is Real Madrid turning into little Holland, i don't even think that Schuster had any say in this signing Mijatovic is in love with these Holland players not saying there bad but the coach is the one who is supposed to tell the directors who to sign where he needs help such as every top manager...
How do you know Schuster didn't know about this?

I agee Schuster is probably the first person to realize we had a striker crisis when he was forced to play Saviola and he still probably prefers to play Bueno over Saviola. If we do sign Huntelaar then this is more motivation for Saviola to leave. As for who is next. Di Maria or Tevez. Tevez seems more plausible as he can't get a game since Berbatov moved to Utd. He would want to play and having Higuain, Gago and Heinze (although there is talk that Liverpool may be interested in Heinze). The only turnoff for me is that Tevaz has a big price tag. Let see what happens hopefully we will sign a defender too.
RVN and Huntelaar in atack.. thats powerfull... good adition to those two would be Di Maria...
.......looks like raul is getting slowly pushed down the starting line

I love it Huntelaar we are ready for you we already have the #19 jersey set out for you hope you accomplish great things with Real Madrid.. i know we have a injury crisis but by January everyone will be recovered excepted Ruud but this is ok since we brought in Klas-Jan.. all Real Madrid need to do is survive the next four games which is sevilla,zenit,barcelona,and valenica and if we do this we will be in great shape but it will not be easy
What is Real Madrid turning into little Holland, i don't even think that Schuster had any say in this signing Mijatovic is in love with these Holland players not saying there bad but the coach is the one who is supposed to tell the directors who to sign where he needs help such as every top manager does for every TOP club, not the other way around another reason schuster is not a good enough coach for Real he's a rag doll that should be thrown in the trash.
