How would Ajax FC look like if it retained all its exports

Forwards- Luis Suarez, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Klaas jan Huntelaar

Klaas Jan Huntelaar.

Luis Suarez has already become a household name in Liverpool thanks to his exploits in front of goal for the Merseysiders. Though he plays as a centre forward for Liverpool, I would love to see him on the wings where he can cut inside of a fullback and run towards the goal. The Uruguayan played a vital part in helping his national side finish 4th in the 2010 World Cup and win the Copa America in 2011. After a terrific spell at Ajax FC, he made an immediate impact for Dalgish’s Reds and quickly replaced Torres in the Liverpudlian hearts. His best performance was the dismantling of the Manchester United defence last year when The Red Devils made their trip to Anfield.

What can be said about Ibrahiovic that has not been said before? The Swedish striker is in the top bracket of European strikers along with Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Mario Gomez. Zlatan holds an enviable record of winning the most number of domestic league titles consecutively with Ajax, Inter Milan, FC Barcelona and AC Milan. Ironically, he is yet to win a Champions League. The 6’7″ forward is a real bully for defenders, thanks to his supreme physicality. He is a great set-piece converter and a clinical finisher. Ibrahimovic is the most destructive when he is given the kind of freedom on the pitch he notoriously demands and he gets at AC Milan. He has been the top-scorer for the Rossoneri for the past two seasons and is their main go-to man. He will surely be remembered as one of the best strikers of his generation when he retires.

The Schalke 04 striker (Klaas jan Huntelaar) is a deadly finisher of the ball and has built an excellent reputation at both club and national level. A quality poacher of the ball who never fails the efforts of his team’s midfielder, the Dutchman is another classic product of the Ajax Academy. A poacher of his quality is essential in this Ajax squad, as his positional awareness and movement on and off the ball keeps the opposition defenders on their toes throughout the match. Huntelaar still has a long way to go and a shift to a bigger club in Europe will earn him the plaudits that his ability deserves.

So viola! an out and out goal-engine that only knows one way to move- forward! What say Real Madrid and Barca, wanna mess with ‘em?
