Gonzalo Higuain

[Blue Armour 4,323]

Nothing to comment about this other than play captain obvious and call it a stop-gap signing.

I'll definitely rate this higher than the Alexandre Pato signing from a few years ago.

Just hoping it can be a lot better than that.

If he isn't going to be putting balls in the back of the net, then he is pretty much useless. We already have Giroud as a target man.

Already posted about him in the Wilson thread but

I dont see any point other than a loan. It wouldn't make sense and would make us look foolish to pay this much for someone for a 1 year contract/

To give him more would make what we are going thri / been thru, with Cesc and Luiz etc etc laughable.

I do thimk he would like to be with his old Boss again and vice versa and no doubting a step up from what we have.

I cant see Higain coming on a loan tho.

If we are looking at stop gaps I'd prefer Cavani.

A serious questions?

Why is Sarri so hellbent on past his best Higuain Giroud 2.0....  why?

Sarri and Marina just sit down take a look at Jovic vids and throw in very good bid for that guy...we creating a loads of chances only need somebody to put the ball at the back of the net which Luka Jovic is more that capable of doing...tired of this stopgap signings that might end up not benefiting us...

Jovic has the making and attributes of a phenomenal top class striker.....the guy will become a beast in Sarriball...

Thats a bit harsh. At least Higs is a former world class striker. We seem to like collecting those. Weah, Drogs, Etoo, Torres. Only missing Ibra and maybe bring Ronaldo out pf retirement🤣

It might look harsh...  but I can't stand the striker situation of the club...a club as big as Chelsea not having a capable goal scoring centre forward...

He's the one we want, but you can just see this dragging out all month on the 28th January we get Wilson for 50M

Cavani is starter for psg, I don't know how do you loan such player. I think Higuain, will be just a loan till the end of the season. I don't like it but Morata look absolutely unhappy

[Special Juan 27,456]

Batshuayi is on his way back from Valencia, but I think he will be straight back out.

I dont think we would be offering £40mill for a loan tho would we? And IMHO its completely daft if its for a 1 year contract which at 31 is all we would give him,

Good! Love his character and had high hopes for him. And while he just might be better than our current 2 I'd rather not take that gamble with the shite we are in. See what happens with him in pre season.

[Pizy 18,454]

Can't compare Higuain to Giroud. The former is a modern, all around striker who can finish from anywhere around the box and carries the ball in space well. Can also make runs off the shoulder of defenders and spin in behind onto a through ball. Giroud is the classic target man #9 who will only really score from inside the box these days.

Higuain isn't ideal but let us not forget that he has been a world class #9 in recent years and done the business at multiple big clubs.

Callum Wilson it is.

I'm sure they would prefer a deal to sell him permanently.  Hope we are smart enough not to fall for that.

A loan is the only sense for us. And i wouldn't mind that.

But I do wish we would go bonkers on Icardi, Jovic or piatek

Whats the point of keeping a happy player if he cant score? Drinkwaters probably laughing his bollox off thinking hes raking in the money for doing sod all!
