If Sarri gets Higuain, it'll be the deal that makes or breaks Sarri's future here imo.

Depend what sort of deal we sign him on. 

6 month loan and he flops... Then people will say it was a gamble worth taking because of Morata's form. 

18 month loan and our football and results don't improve next season? Then Sarri's not getting an extension on his 2 year contract.

Yeah but this has Sarris official approval, one of his own so to speak. With Jorginho starting to turn in some very poor performances on a regular basis and no sign of having anything special about his game (ask @just ) then with Higuain coming in for 6 months or two years, if he doesnt perform over the next 6 months and improve on what we had (virtually impossible) then Sarri is in trouble imo with his two personally selected players failing to improve us.

My worry for Sarri is that it seems he has tunnel vision about the way he wants to play. It's Sarri-ball or nothing. 

We've signed Jorginho who is apparently what his playing style centres around, so you're already banking on him to succeed because if he fails is another manager going to want Jorginho who apparently plays a very niche role. 

Now we're going after Higuain, which goes against club policy more or less, it's been a long time since we signed an outfield player who was over 30, Eto'o was maybe the last one? 

There's rumours we want(ed) to sign Hysaj too and it concern me a little that it's predominately players Sarri has already worked with that he wants/we're targeting because it starts to feel like he/we are so focused on replicating the Napoli blueprint that if it doesn't work/we don't sign specific players then it could start to fall apart.

We signed giroud for £18m last year who was the same age. 

 
We need a striker who can slot home at a regular rate, Higuain is currently on 1 league goal in his last 8 starts.

I don't think is right to judge him for the last months in Milan. it's a problem of motivations. The last ten years speak for him. Always from 20 to 30 goals scored for season.

But who is to say he would be motivated IF he came to Chelsea - on the downward spiral yet probably picking up £100k + per week?

I don't follow Italian football to know if this is the start of his decline or a blip in form, have Milan struggled as a team recently?

Looking at when he moved he had 7 goals in his first 10 games which is a vast improvement on what we have.

 
The creativity at Milian is so low that I reckon most top strikers would struggle to score there.

 
So we're signing the bottler. I dreamt of this a few years ago. Hope he does a job for us. He looks pretty lean atm and hopefully he's just told to get in the box and put it in the back of the net.
