Gonzalo Higuain

[Special Juan 27,424]

Maybe, just maybe the club is like quite a few supporters and are worried the weak mentality of Morata was a bit to much to take. Thing with Higuain is he's a fighter, not just that but this has obviously come about because of Sarri, he wants him because he knows him. Higuain strikes me as somebody who will come in and not be frightened of this league, the competitive nature or the surroundings.

If Higuain can fire us to glory and back into the CL then get him.

Couldn't agree more mate.

I can see him on the end of Jorgis passes all day.

Just need to sort the AMs out

Big risk and we will see lots and lots of opposition supporters (and many of our own) saying stuff like "LOL Chelsea have signed a fat, way past it striker," but I do think he will score 20+ in the PL if he settles properly. As a stopgap to help us get into the CL places he's about as good as w're going to do.

I'll repeat again that he should not be signed to replace Morata. This will be a grueling season with so many matches. We will need more than two strikers. Higuain, Morata, and Giroud is a very nice strike force. I don't want to see Pedro or one of our attacking mids being forced to play as a false 9 out of desperation again.

You won't see that under Sarri mate.

With Hazard leaving, it will be good to have one strong experienced character in squad. Big plus is he already worked with Sarri.

This could be good, if we offload one of our 3 strikers for decent money. Having 4 strikers will not be good. Also, when Hazard leaves, we will need TWO top wingers to bring. That could be hard. But, why not play Morata and Higuain together? They could be very good. One is predator but slow and old(ish), one is not a predator, but fast and young.

I can see him working great with Jorginho. Just like the early Cesc/Diego partnership.

Lol... 

Any reliable media reporting it?...though I feel  he might end up leaving but I can't see Madrid paying that much for him considering the fact that he is not even there first choice to replace Ronaldo...

Man, his head is off. Board would WANT to sell him at some point, because there is possibility for him leaving next summer, for much smaller fee.

From that Alfredo Pedulla twitter page

Exclusive: Rugani-Higuain at Chelsea, Juve await the return of Ramadani. The scenarios

 

Stand-by phase for the transfers of Rugani and Higuain to Chelsea . With a distinction: the Pipita is enjoying the holidays after the World Cup, while the defender would like the practice to be resolved without having to wait any longer. In the coming days Juventus will fly for the American tour, at the moment the group is also expected Rugani , but we will see developments in the coming days. Everything will depend on Fali Ramadani, flew to Germany to close the sale of Rebic from Eintracht to Bayern (there is also Manchester United , but now the ball is from the German club). The agent had set his return to Italy for Monday, but could anticipate his return to Milan in the next few hours. Higuain is a speech initiated, under the conditions of Juventus , an intrigue of Sarri for the new Chelsea . Soon updates.

I think this is the type of signing that would make Hazard stay, Higuain is a world class striker.

Do these journalists even know what’s going on? I swear Alfredo has just been reporting about meetings, meetings and meetings and nothing concrete about where the deal is heading towards to.

[Pizy 18,368]

I really hoped that following the Sarri appointment and Jorginho signing it would trigger more movement in the market and we'd swiftly push through other deals. Appears now we're back to hearing about meetings and "hot days/hours" everyday with no actual signings.

Would be nice if every signing we make gets a couple of preseason matches.

Higuain is a beast, dunno what some ppls problem is on here, he will fire goals in for fun! In like 105 games he scored 50+ goals.

He Used to be but his powers are ailing visibly. He has 12 years of top level footy in him. Basically the fabregas of strikers

He'd still score a lot of goals here. No doubt about it. Fair enough hes not exactly the most flashy centre forward but people are seriously underestimating him I think.
