Chelsea and Higuain have reached a 3 year agreement with an option of additional year with a transfer fee of 60 million Euros deposited to #Juventus. The deal is expected to close in the next few days. #CFC (via @GiuliaStronati)

How genuine is this source...

I don't see us paying 60m euro for him that's for sure.

If we sell Batshuayi then I’m okay with Higuain, Morata and Giroud as the front three tbh.

I actually really like Higuain but we already have an old man on the books. We should be targeting a young, explosive striker. Maybe Sarri has big plans for Batsman and Morata.

I'd be more okay with selling Morata.  I think Bats has a lot of potential whereas Morata is more the finished article.  If we have Higuain and Giroud, we could get away with keeping the player with more potential, IMO.

Having said that.  I'd be happier to keep Morata instead of buying Higuain.  Unless we end up better off financially (by selling Morata for more), I just don't see the point in getting Higuain in.

Would be a good choice, plenty to work with, all three are different types of players. Not 100% sold on Higuain but what I've always liked about him is hes guaranteed goals and a hard worker, always was at Real, Napoli and still is at Juventus, despite constantly criticisms regarding his weight, playing style etc. 

 

If anybody has to go out of our strikers its got to be Batshuayi, hes not cut out for a top team, even at the world cup it took him about 7 chances to score against Panama... plus I've seen enough of him in a Chelsea shirt, never impressed.

So am I to believe Chelsea are going to break their policy ( one yr deals for players over 30 ) for Gonzalo Higuain? We didn't sign Dzeko or Llorente for this reason, correct?

Higuain was not exactly inspiring last season. He scored only 15 goals from open play in 32 league starts from my working outs. Is he really much of an upgrade on Morata who scored around the same amount with less starts. Don't see him being the player he was before. He is 31 by the end of the year.  Sceptical. Would rather keep Morata but doubt both of them will stay on board.

Dzeko or Llorente were only ever considered as our Plan B backup. Higuain would presumably be our main man.

So are you suggesting that the policy only applies to Plan B's? Hmmmmm....

His goal record is good. He would never be my first choice especially considering his age but if he can bang in goals I’m happy with that. 

Hopefully Moratta plays better under Sarri. It’s hard to judge him off of 1 season. I remember fans getting on Drogbas case after his first season here.
