he's a brilliant striker. he's not a consistent finisher of chances like say, shearer or huntelaar, but he's technically perfect. not many are better when a chance demands a one-touch finish, or a perfect first touch before the shot.
his awareness isn't excellent, but it's good. you can't expect your striker to have the vision of ozil or fabregas.
he's easily one of the top 10 strikers in the world, and he's the all-time scoring leader for the dutch despite all the time he's missed.
