That much is clear. They obviously won't get €50m either. But Juventus supposedly put a €25m bid for Gomez on the table last year already and he won't have gotten any cheaper than that.

And 50M price tags aside, how much do you think each player is really worth on fair market value? I'll start... I'd guess that Huntelaar will probably generate the higher transfer fee, and I'd say about 25M for KJH and 15-20M for Gomez.

We'll just say there have been a few comments on his looks here (mostly female, I think).

There's always a long acclimation period for all new signings with the unique system. Even then, he'd still be worked in and out of the lineup with Vucinic, Perrotta and Totti based on injuries, form and opposition. Jan, Watford once put a 60m pricetag on Marlon King. He eventually went for 3-4m. I wouldn't count those bucks yet. :) (Obviously different situs, though.)

I would rather see KJH in Rome, where he would certainly play every match. Unless Ruud leaves Real, KJH should look elsewhere or stay put.

By the way, I'm still very fascinated by that 50 milion thing, if I get that right it's just a purely hypothetical sum worked out by an insurance company (why or for what case in particular the VfB covers its players, I have no clue) and as soon as the number made the press things went nuts, as always. Anyway, what I'd like to add: He's still ours, Europe!

Which again probably doesn't mean a lot. But this statement plus the €50m price tag should ensure that VfB Stuttgart can either enjoy another season with Gomez or an obscene amount of money.

My guess is Gomez to Milan, but I know you would like to see one of the two in Roman colors this summer Chris. Real definately wants them some Klaas, while Mr. Gomez is the toast of Italy.
