Higuain

I would like a hard pass on Higuain please.

 
I really don't believe we are going to pay €60m for Higuain who is 31 y/o.  

 
Does Morata want to stay in the EPL?

Haven't followed Higuain's career yet recall Diego Milito went to Inter at 30 and scored 62 in 128 appearances for JM.

No problem with him providing he is sanctioned by the new manager.

 
€60m for a player over 30 that we would only sign to a 1 year contract?  I would be shocked if this happens.

 
If Sarri is coming i'm all for it. Had his best ever season under him and was unplayable. Also means i have to watch less of Morata which is a nice bonus.

 
I really cant see us spending this big on a 31 year old striker, especially with giroud also on the books. 

Logistically would we really offer him a 3 year contract? If it's only 2 years, that is a huge ffp commitment, over £30m per season. Not far off what United have committed to Sanchez. 

I can't see any truth in this. 

 
Imagine it would be a straight swap for morata. Still a poor deal though.

Still... He was some years younger, not to mention some kilograms lighter. Wanting to see less of A.M. is a bit harsh. He didn't perform after december, and was injured for a period as well. He did look pretty homesick at times, and with a baby on the way I'd say it's understandable. He didn't look sharp nor happy. 

However, he looks set to get back with the squad and start fresh, and I'd take a happy - and on form - Morata over a 30+ y/o Higuain any day of the week.

Exactly my point. And why get Higuain - which will push Batsman and Giroud further behind as the options? You'd assume that IF the club decides to go for him, it'll be to make him a starter. 
With Morata, Bats and Giroud you have three brilliant strikers with different attributes. Don't see a need for Higuain.

 
Nicolas Higuain (brother & agent): "At the moment we haven’t spoken to any other clubs. Gonzalo is very happy in the city and at Juventus. Everyone knows Gonzalo's relationship with Sarri is wonderful and he sees him as a football father, but as far as I know, Sarri hasn’t even signed for Chelsea yet.

We are not in talks with Chelsea. He wants to respect his contract with Juventus, would be great to see Higuain and Cristiano Ronaldo playing together again". #CFC Juventus"

So yeah, sounds like nothing is happening until if/when Sarri is appointed. 

 
Right now Morata, Giroud and Bats can't even dream about delivering between 25-30. Even two of them combined. And that's the amount we need.

So if Sarri is confident Higuain will get it to this number, why not?

there has always been complains and reservations about any forward. But at the end of the day, what really matter are the goals. And he has proven himself. I'm tired of this old, troublemaking behavior, diving or bad looking BS. Always finding the flaws, don't ya?

Those aren't the reasons why i don't want him.

I don't want him because he's a bottler (even with the goals he has, he bottles the big moments) he's always looking unfit, he is knackered after a sprint. Is this the type of player we want? the guy would be finished by half time playing in the Premier League. Serie A is nowhere near as demanding on players fitness levels as the Premier League is.

We can't afford Higuain to come back unfit after a summer break again, something he has done throughout many seasons of his career. Players like Higuain tend to drop off in their early 30's because they don't look after themselves, and maybe now that is what we are seeing, it's not like he had a brilliant season last season. He got 23 goals, the season before he got 32, and the season before that he got 39, maybe the decline has already started.

I'm not a fan, and if we sign him, it will be a backwards step in my opinion. I would rather stick to what we already have.

 
If Cristiano goes to Juve, it probably increases the chances of an attacking player leaving them, in which case this rumor will most likely continue to heat up.

 
Personally, what I don't like about him is how much weight he can gain in the off season. I'd expect the bare minimum of our players to turn up fit for the season. After Costa and Hazard, I don't want to see another Chelsea player turn up to preseason overweight. 

Same goes with Luke Shaw (if we're ever in for him again)

I don't ask them to be C. Ronaldo but at least don't turn up fat or pudgy.
