Huntelaar to Arsenal?
Huntelaar is the one on the right, if you must
know.
Pop isn't the only thing which eats itself. Pretty much
everything we do is a copy of a spin-off of a copy of a copy of an
abject humiliation first suffered by some poor putz in the Dark
Ages. But sometimes that familiarity can breed content.
Arsenal fans,
for example, would happily revisit the story of the much-hyped
young forward who goes from a second-tier league to one of Europe's
biggest clubs, only to flop miserably and be sold on at a loss to
Arsenal, where Arsène Wenger slaps on the special oils, rubs his
paper hands all over him and turns him into one of the best players
in the world.
For Thierry Henry in 1999, read Klaas-Jan
Huntelaar in 2009, Huntelaar, who only moved to Real Madrid
from Ajax in January, is emitting ever-increasing circles of heat
after being left out of Real Madrid's revised Champions League
squad, and could be on his way to Arsenal to replace
Emmanuel Adebayor, who is going to
Barcelona/Internazionale/so far up his own hubristic hole that
he'll spend most of his natural-born days plotting a route out,
like the fella in Shawshank Redemption.
