Both games we just sat and didn't want the ball. When we did have the ball in games teams immediately pressed him and stole it. 

Arguably our worst buy ever right there with Morata. Shocking to think that happened in the same summer.

Just one misfiring striker for the other, give it a few months people will hate him more than Morata. Given how we got ourself into this dilemma in the first place, either recall strikers on loan, or try to get what's left in the strikers and Hazard, adjust formation ( won't happen), just ride out the rest of the season some how, and do proper business during summer ( hope more than anything). This kind of short term 'fix' doesn't fix anything, just another name on payroll.

As long as it is a 6 month loan to buy option I'm fine. This isn't Serie A and goals are hard to come by. I'm honestly not sure how he'll do (assuming he signs of course.)

 
Unless it is a loan move I don't like this. Elite striker but so is Falcao.

Higuain is a top player and he already knows what Maurizio wants from him.

Any time of adaptation and a real qualitative ?leap.

WAS a top player, I'm not convinced he is anymore though. He's looked like a declining striker for over a year now. With the amount of time it takes to adapt to a new country and league, more time would have flown by and it will be too late.

I'm with @icecoolguy22 on this. I would rather just ride it out until the end of the season and actually target somebody for the long term.

Or try RLC at striker, he can clearly finish and he's very strong and tall. Getting Higuain that is a real rentboy is never going to improve our squad.

I have similar concerns as you, but on the other hand what if we don't make CL. Personally, if Sarri wants him, let's get him if we can. I would rather we buy Sarri a striker than not at this stage, because I don't see it getting any easier without a striker for the rest of the season. We know Giroud and Morata are not the answer. We need CL in my opinion to at least have a chance of keeping Hazard.

I meant that he isn't really the personality that I would like, he went from Napoli to Juventus at the time when Napoli was so close to overcome them and now he's in Milan. On top of it he's older, and not even that good, he wouldn't make our squad better it's a gamble and a huge claim to say that with him we will surely be in the top 4.

OK, you could say then that it's an even bigger gamble to continue without any changes at all, but I don't see that Higuain is a good player and thus I wouldn't even consider him as an option, for example Conte wanted more players, particularly he wanted someone in addition to Morata that was proving to be not capable of leading the attack but he didn't like Michy. So he got Giroud and we still have him but he isn't really scoring much he is like an anchor so the same problem remains and Higuain is pretty much the same age as Giroud is.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, if the whole scouting system and board can't think of any other solution part from getting Higuain, we won't last long in top 4 in seasons to come regardless if we manage to do it this season. I think there is some Charley Brown from the youth system that can finish better than Morata already, why not try something like that, with potential?
It's a real shame that RLC got his chance and so did CHO in the same way that none of them deserved, both got too big as talents that the club simply couldn't ignore them anymore, that should have been done with a far better approach from the club where after their talent is recognized they wouldn't need any hype from the media or threats from leaving the club in order to get their spot in the squad.
