Higuain

[Argo]

Call me old fashioned but I want my strikers to bang in the goals. That’s what wins football matches. 

Doesn't work as simplistically as that in the modern day. Bayern won nothing with goal a game Mario Gomez up front, benched him to sign 1 in 3 Mandzukic and became treble winners.

As Chelsea fans who had Drogba for nearly a decade we should realize as much as anyone that strikers need to be more than just goalscorers.

What are you talking about? Bayern won 2 Bundesligas and 2 German cups with Gomez leading the line.  He was also part of their treble winning team chipping in with 19 goals that season.

I'm refering to the year before he was dropped, despite 41 goals in 42 games Heynckes needed more and then the next year where previously season attacks were breaking down at MG's feet, MM kept it rolling which in turn led to Robbery and the fullbacks/CM's causing havoc.

Point i'm trying to make is the days of being able to get away with flawed but scores strikers at the top level at any level more than a squad role are over, even the very best fox in the box types like Gomez and RVN got upgraded on after a while.

Thats because Bayern had players in other parts of the pitch where there were goal scorers... Thats a problem for us because we dont seem to have a solid goal scorer anywhere on the pitch and havent for a really long time. Even Hazard wasn't much of a goal scorer, he was much better at creating chances.

The only thing I will miss about Higuain is the comb-over.

I've seen milk turn faster than him.

I found some milk the other day at work that was kept in a fridge that wasn’t on for 3 weeks and had leaked a bit. 

I’d rather experience that again than experience watching Higuain playing for Chelsea.
