Do you think he'd start, even if he came in tomorrow, 2 days before the match?  Personally, I doubt it, maybe on the bench.  I think Anelka was on the bench in his first match which was a day or 2 after his transfer, but we had an injury crisis, IIRC.  We'll see.

Gonzalo Higuain is just another Alvaro Morata per these shocking stats

https://www.chelsea-news.co/2019/01/image-gonzalo-higuain-just-another-alvaro-morata-per-shocking-stats/

Chelsea are making attempts to sign Gonzalo Higuain from Serie A, and although Blues fans may be excited by that prospect, the Juventus striker is not an upgrade on Alvaro Morata.

According to WhoScored, Chelsea will only be getting a striker hitting similar numbers to the player they are keen to move on. Both players have below 10 goals this season in their league campaigns and Europa League combined.

In fact, Morata goes 168 minutes per goal as compared to Higuain’s 216.3 minutes before finding the back of the net this season. It’s understandable that Sarri wants his former red-hot striker to join him in England, but his days of scoring record-breaking 36 goals in a single season are over.

Here’s the full comparison between the two stars by WhoScored.

Well....we technically have 2 strikers and Hazard who's been playing F9.  I think when Anelka came, Pizarro started that match, I think?  C'mon, it's not that bad right now.

I think we'll go in for a new striker in the summer.

I'd like to see that too.  It's just really hard to get an important player like a striker (who must be scoring at his current club) mid-season.  This is a stop-gap, and Marina did a good job with the deal in light of that (IMO).  Never say never, but I'd be shocked if we got another striker in.

At best he probably will be on the bench. But at least we have goalscoring punch off the bench.

Tbh I haven't watched Higuain in years. Maybe wc final was the last time I watched him play for 90 minutes. I can't really judge his game at all. 

Anyone here follow serie A? Will he cope with the physicality of EPL? Based on YouTube video, he does not look fast nor super technical. So he need to be at least strong enough.

Never say never as Dickens told us!

Milan takes Piatek

The Mickey Mousers and Spuds are after Jovic and Werner.

I forgot about Spurs, they actually need a striker right now.  But, could they get a big name in?  Someone who knows they will be a back up for the foreseeable future.  Maybe we can get Spurs to fly them over and do the medical for us.

LOL Maybe we can send them Willian instead? Say he just missed the flight?
