Gonzalo Higuain

[akgw13 867]

That quote Sarri gave about Jorginho made me think about Higuain/Rugani. We all sit here wondering why he wants certain players etc. "He is a technical player but the most important quality is his he very quick of the mind" Higuain/Rugani seemingly posses this quality, the one sarri holds in such high regard. Will be curious to see how the rest of our summer business goes.

Yes please. Bailey in and Alisson or some other decent goalkeeper in for Courtois but no more departures and we are set for the season without throwing the squad in disarray.

Haha higuain +rugani =100m€

[Liuxas 121]

Oh dear. So what we basically paying 100m for Higuain and Rugani. And they got freaking Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldo! for the same money 100mln. Hope this not happening no way Rugani worth 45mln or 31 years old Higuain 55-60mln. Why just not get a better striker like Mauro Icardi for 20mln more. I hope Sarri knows what he's doing. And by the way were from this hype around Rugani? Did he proved anything? He seems like another young talent. Not finished product! Instead of Rugani, we should pay better 35mln for Bonucci who are 31 years old.(Milan have some problems with FFP so we can use it properly and try to get him.) Yes! But at least he's complete defender. And can play at least 3 years of good football.

You can't compare those deals without factoring in the wages too. As far as I know Ronaldo earns like three times more than Higuain and Rugani combined and while at first glance it seems easy to just add up Ronaldo = Higuain + Rugani in transfer fees, the real cost of Ronaldo over the next few years will be over twice as much.

Not really that keen on Higuain either, but getting someone like Icardi and for "just 20mil more" seems like a fairy tale. It's not going to happen because first of all Icardi doesn't want to leave and even if he was on the market Inter would demand well over 100M.

From what I've heard about Rugani I'm all for signing him, not that bothered about the price tbh. A lot of Juve fans are really against the club selling him and have been counting on Rugani and Caldara forming their defence for many years to come so clearly he has to be a pretty good player, also one that Sarri already knows from their time at Empoli.

regardless of fee, Higuain is just not that good and is unlikely to improve the squad vs Giroud and Morata.

Weird target for us.

I think you are totally wrong

Higuain would provide Chelsea with a starkly contrasting character to placid Morata

And I hope you are right.

good poacher and definitely more aggressive than both morata and giroud. Not that skillful and has had some issues with fitness... the guy got heavy playing football...

After landing the Ronaldo deal, Juventus are now focused on the possible departures from the squad. An initial contact has been made between Chelsea and the Bianconeri over Argentinian striker Gonzalo Higuain, but the negotiation is yet to start. Morata (monitored by Borussia Dortmund) and Batshuayi, before opening talks with Higuain's agent.

Don't think hes an upgrade.

I don't understand why mate.

Hes got a totally different character/mindset that our 3 lads. Every write up Ive read mentions his will to win.

He was Juves MVP this season and arguably their best current player.

He brings that same spirit that the unscrapping Diego had - what top strikers should have.

Its a shame hes not a couple of years younger but that's the only down side that I can see with him

Add knowing what Sarri will expect from him and I'd sign him now.

Don't know mate... never liked him.

Always will be a fat clumsy striker that doesn't come to big matches, for me.

Age is the only downside is a good one. In most sports Youth is the most inportant asset so it should determine which kind of player we are spending almost a club record fee on.

BetStars are expecting Higuain’s move to west London to happen imminently.

BetStars spokesman Ian Marmion said: “The Higuain transfer saga looks to be coming to a conclusion after odds were slashed on the striker signing for Chelsea.

“The 30-year-old is now odds-on at 1/4, down from 11/10, to complete the move and bring an end to months of speculation.

So this fella Alfredo Pedulla who seems to be on par with Di Marzio nowadays says Rugani & Higuain to Chelsea is a done deal now and they are just waiting for their agent to come back from Germany and wrap all things up.

Rugani... I can deal but ffs Higuain what happens to Morata Bashuayi and Giroud... again what happens to our wing position...does that mean we won't add quality there?..
