Higuain

RIP Mourinho said:
Higuain wouldn't want to step into what sh*t show? 

He's be joining the most successful English team in the last decade and a team that are currently in the top 4 and every cup competition. Why wouldn't he want to join? Because of a couple of losses in recent weeks?

Nope, it's once again the apparent mess behind the scenes is what I'm referring to....it always was going to be a hit and miss season win loss wise, although recent apathy by the players seen by everyone and publicly referred to by the manager might make him think twice plus who knows what trigger happy Roman is thinking.   

 


Excellent analysis of Higuain. Superb striker.

nice video. He seems like an improvement over all our striking options, plus him knowing Sarris system and this move forcing Hazard back to his favored position has me more pumped up. I think top 4 and a few cups are easily within our grasp if Higuain is as advertised.

Could he be in decline...yes but he scored 7 in his first 10 for Milan and some of his play in the clip for them looks promising.

I'm hoping and think we will be pleasantly surprised with him and he will be an improvement on what we have and mainly for allowing hazard back to his preferred role.

We are in a good place bar the couple of recent losses and the poor play stems a lot from a lack of presence/striker in the box we are creating until what would be the final pass as there is no one around. Unless it's morata then he's  falling over at a puff of wind.

 
Yup, I’m really excited after seeing that video.

It clearly shows he doesn’t rely on pace, which goes away with age. He relies on clever movement and communication, although I can just picture him making a fantastic run into space screaming for Willian to pass the ball, and he is just stood there doing the shoulder feint for 20 seconds.

Nah I’m really positive, I think he will take our team on to a new level.

Can I coin 'Argentinian Neil Shipperley' now?

Ok, but I'm claiming Gonzalo Shipperly-Fleck.

Personally I would rather we had recalled young Mr Abraham and given him a bit of a go. But then I'm just an old romantic who still mistakenly believes a talented young man that regularly finds the back of the net might be worth a try. Silly me.

Bingo we dont play our youngsters, silly notion Just.

 
Higuain is a hit or miss: if the former, I am confident for the remainder of the season, if the latter, well, just look at what happened in Greece during the olympiakos v AC Milan game ...

 
I love how everyone judges him on his time at AC Milan rather than his record prior to that. An average Milan team where Bakayoko is actually one of their better players, that says it all really.

But why wouldn't you judge him on his most recent performances? 

Even last season, his record for Juventus was 16 goals in 35 games. A decent goal return but not overly impressive for a player in a Juventus team that scored 86 goals. 

So do we have to go back even further? 

His scoring record for Juventus overall during his two seasons was very good but there's a reason why they let him leave on loan this season. 

 
I'm looking forward to seeing him play, Plus it frees up Hazard for the left side position. Should be a big improvement over what we are doing now.

 
Dybala plays a different position.

And I imagine Mandukic would be on lower wages than Higuain.

Just because they let him go, doesn't mean he's not a good player or they didn't have their reasons for doing so.

But kept (and are playing) Dybala and Mandzukic.

Higuian and Ronaldo don't get on. That's why he left madrid. 

Also I don't think juventus could afford to have Ronaldo, Dybala, and Higuian, all on massive wages. 

So obvioulsly it would make sense to move higuian on.
