"The Power of Dutch Forwards" shows POWER of 4 best dutch forwards.... Huntelaar, Van Persie, Robben, Van Nistelrooy

Maybe you could argue that he was at his cocky best last season, but in the absence of any other decent left-pegs in La Liga, he still gets my vote. It's not as if he's suddenly broken into the ranks either, making his debut in San Mamés back in 1999, but maybe it's the flamboyant haircuts and arrogant strut that have projected him so into the limelight in the past two seasons. He's had injury problems this year, but has still looked good enough to be talked of as the answer to Barça's lack of natural left-sided creativity. And he's got the lot - passing, dribbling, shooting and speed off the mark. It may even be the case that Athletic's swashbuckling style doesn't always suit him, and that a more pragmatic passing tempo would truly bring out the best in him. If his mates Del Horno and Ezquerro begin the break-up of this fine young side at the end of the season, he may well be on his way.
