Gonzalo Higuain - £30m target?

Featured Replies

Sounds like he's signing for Man Utd.

 

He's a nice replacement for Van Persie and something they definitely needed, but until they've got that midfield sorted they'll be some way off.

Don't think I've ever seen a supposedly "world-class" player bottle it as often, and as badly, as Higuain does in the big moments.

Don't even know who rates him.

 

sh*t player, deserves nothing. 

Can't believe he f*cked up probably Argentina's last chance of winning silverware with the current generation of players. As one of the world's most coveted no.9's I really did expect to put away that penalty but he bottled it.

On a side note how audacious was Sanchez's penalty. He was a player I think a lot of our fans regret missing out on. I Remember watching him live a couple of years ago. And was so impressed with his dribbling and pace. Even more so then I already was.

To think, we're gonna pay more for Turan than Sanchez went for.

Really? He's been bottling it for years now, I expected nothing else but a miss. 

 

He missed a pen which would have got Napoli into the CL last season as well.

It saddens me to see him in an Arsenal kit

 

Yep, really liked him in Serie A and hoped we'd go for him before he went to Barca.  TBH, I was quite shocked when Arsenal landed him.

He also had a very good chance in the last minute of normal time. Some may argue that the pass to him was heavy but I think a top class striker like aguero or costa would have tucked it away

At Madrid I always he thought he looked better than Benzema a lot of the games. But then once he was the main man at Napoli he hasn't shown an awful lot.

Robben bottled it for most of his career and he got his hands on the champions league eventually. So maybe Higuain might have the same path..

Think it was Udinese he was at and yeah even at Barca he looked great at times but didn't get as much of a look in after their new signings. He hit the crossbar against us didn't he in the UCL. On a not so happy memory he went down like he'd been hit by a sniper after getting kneed by JT.

HIGUAIN TO REPLACE COSTA?

Diego Costa is fighting for his Chelsea future with Napoli’s Gonzalo Higuain high on the wish list of the Blues' long-term targets, according to the Daily Mirror.

Costa, who hit 21 goals last season following his move from Atletico Madrid, has just three to his name this term as Chelsea sit 16th in the Premier League.

Higuain, who was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal in the summer, has 65 goals in 117 appearances for the Serie A side.

Personally I'd be all for this

Still not more then 27. I thought he was in his 30s by now.

 

Would definitly have him for a decent price.

Scored plenty over his career. I'd be happy if he came, but seeing how napoli squeezed 63m out for cavani. I think he would be very expensive.

There really is a shortage of top strikers these days, and it's been that way for about 5 years.

Pato is available for 14m and seems to be over the niggling injuries that halted his progression. I always liked the look of him at milan, maybe would be worth a punt at that price.

Napoli will likely want a similar fee to that which they got for cavani.

 

Maybe, but things have changed since then. Cavani was the one doing the business for them in the Champions League, which they are not a part of now. PSG were also spending silly amounts of money on everyone then. Luiz, Lucas, Pastore, Marquinhos and Luiz were all over £40m and I'm sure they bought all of those within a couple of seasons.
