Milan 17,959 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Maybe it is because English is not my mother tongue but what Sarri said today sounds to me as if Higuain might really be on his way - Quote ‘I like him very much. He’s a wonderful player, he’s a wonderful man but I don’t want to talk about Higuain because I have two-and-a-half strikers at the moment and Gonzalo is playing for AC Milan so it’s better not to talk about him at the moment.’ 'at the moment' sounds like something more than nothing.

I do think Higuain while knocking on will give us some goals and Sarri knows him inside out. Also its looking serious about this loans problem and transfer ban shite. I would prefer us to get a striker that we wont have to change again after the bans lifted, Theres down sides but I won't moan tho if Higuain does end up coming.

11Drogba 2,000 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Higuain has not scored in 8 consecutive games in all competitions for the first time since arriving in Serie A. Now I am convinced that we'll get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alabama 1,992 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Sarri needs to stop smoking cigar and give the board list of quality proper and deadly finisher not another version of Giroud... Luka Jovic... Timo Werner... Andrea Belotti and the list goes on...I can't withstand another Giroud coupled with Morata... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolas Pepe just had £72m price put on him by Lille, so that's a non-starter. GRRRRRRRRR Higuain cant be given multi-year contract, so he will not come. Same for Cavani. I see zero or at least very little links to targets we SHOULD be going after, like Icardi (if we are truly serious about winning league and CL in future, he and his level HAVE to be looked at) Jovic, Haller, Memphis Depay, Martial (super hard now) Federico Chiesa, Thorgan Hazard, Alassane Plea, Mikel Oyarzabal, Steven Bergwijn, David Neres, Suso, Rodrigo de Paul, Federico Bernardeschi, Iñaki Williams, Jean-Kévin Augustin, Hirving Lozano, Matheus Cunha, Myziane Maolida, Domenico Berardi, Malcom, Ismaïla Sarr, Maximiliano Gómez, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I want is attacking reinforcements to improve our attack cos as things stand...6th place would rather be awaiting us if care is jot taken...

I do think or HOPE he will be a upgrade for us and Sarri will get the best out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,493 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 If the loan swap is simply till the end of the season when we will sign the actual first-choice striker, then why not? Adding Higuain surely cannot be worse than what the club has right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,493 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 The frustrating part is that other than Morata, who failed spectacularly, and Costa, who did well, the club has not signed a first-choice striker in about 7 years. You'll have to go all the way back to Torres in 2011. I am sick of temporary solutions - Ba, Eto'o, Remy, Drogba (second time), Falcao, Pato, Giroud. (Not including Michy since he was a young prospect) Only reason, I would be okay with another stop-gap is because good strikers may not be available in January to be signed. This summer, the club desperately needs to bring in a quality striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Big chances created | Goals (conversion rate) Man City: 60 | 50 (83%) Chelsea: 51 | 35 (69%) Liverpool: 49 | 39 (80%) Tottenham: 48 | 37 (77%) Man Utd: 45 | 34 (76%) Arsenal: 37 | 40 (108%) Once we get Higuain I'm predicting we'll probably be in top 2 in goal conversion. Watch this mans highlight tape. This guy finishes his breakfast lunch AND dinner ( probably why he's a bit chubby ). My man finishes with his left and right, with his head and toes, from inside the box and outside the box. Hes a complete striker regardless of his age. On top of that his dribbling for his size is impressive AND he knows how to stay ONSIDE unlike a certain striker that doesnt need to be mentioned. Adding to the fact that he can hold onto the ball and be a focal point in our attack we can play EDEN at LW permanently and create devastating 1-2 combos with him and other midfield runners. If yall thought Sarri bringing Jorginho helped our midfield cohesiveness imagines what Higuain would do for our attacking fluidity. The board just needs to keep their composure and not bottle this deal please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF that is true, then we're surely eyeing someone in the summer. Maybe Icardi... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I hope,pray and offer up my left gonad as a sacrific and even as the biggest dreamer on her I can't see it happen The guys on fire. He is worshipped where he is. He is a major celebrity in Italy. Moreso his wife!! But OHHHHH how I would dearly love for it to happen!! Cast your mind back only 2 years or so ago when there was all that media links with the gooners! Didn't his Mrs meet with them 2 times? Only for him to come out and say he never wanted to leave Inter. But we need to get in NOW. His Mrs is rutheless! All them photos she put in their online media accounts of him learning English and shit. She will only allow the release clause in his contract reflect his wage increase so the more money he gets the higher his release! We have to go in like Billy Big Bollox and pay up for him. And tell his Mrs she will be the queen of the paps and bigger than Harry and Meghan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
