Luis Suarez

Linked with him in the past, his scoring rate has picked up a bit recently

28 in 37 last season.

14 in 9 this season, including 4 today.

He's our only hope this season.

I keep an eye out for Ajax's results and watch them whenever they play in Europe - mainly UEFA Cup these days £#%&!ing shame the state of the club at the moment. Well, Dutch club football in general.

Bagged again today and missed a pen.

That miss was a rare sight.

Is he anywhere near the scoring feats of messers Huntelaar, Kezman or Alves yet?

to be fair, suarez has looked good at international level as well. almost as good as forlan.

He's got a bit more to his game than any of those.

Not really seen him, except for a game in the Amsterdam tournament, in which he didn't stand out. Just filled with skepticism whenever i hear of someone in Holland performing well these days, such is the decline of the league over there.

I've not seen him a great deal myself recently.

I was just looking through an ajax forum at the time of posting this thread.

I wasn't trying to indicate we signed him, it was more of a random observation of his increased goalscoring...

He has looked quite an intelligent footballer on the ocassions I have seen him.

He has carried on scoring as well. 19 goals in 14 games now.

Highlights from game yesterday vs Az

Ruud started off there you know and he wasn't a bad goalscorer.

True but so did that @#%&! who Middlesborough signed, scored about 40 odd a season there didn't he?

I'm sceptical about Dutch goalscorers is all.

Alfonso Alves, Kezmen, Dirk Kuyt.

Huntelaar aint exactly doing great since he moved either.

Me too but I think more than enough good footballers have come from the Dutch leagues.

btw, this isn't me saying we ought to buy him.

I agree, I'm not saying he's shit, know £#%&! all about him. £35 million seems a touch pricey.

suarez has done very well for his country (9 in 25, including a fair few games as a winger), unlike alves, huntelaar etc.
