Pretty good goal scoring record internationally as well but if you look at the international games he scores his goals in they tend to be against weaker competition.

Seems like the type of guy that really needs to be in the right situation to perform. His style fits in well in Germany but not sure it would work as well in England.
I'll agree and disagree. Huntelaar's biggest issues in those clubs is that he wasnt the go-to man and the same is said of the Dutch National team. When he is your #1 striker he scores goals consistently.

With Schalke hes their main striker same with when he was at Ajax. With Milan and Madrid he was always second to someone who had been with the club longer and didnt get the opportunities.

Huntelaar is an amazing striker, but you have to give him the opportunities. I'd have him on Liverpool in a heartbeat.
