DDA 9,941 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 If we get Higuaib from Napoli... then we are garunteed top 4. If not... we will have two strikers who are slow and past their prime. It's obviously just a stop gap until the summer so either way, it can't be much worse than Morata and Giroud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I'd much rather just sacrifice Morata to the gods, keep Giroud, bring back Michy and/or sign someone like Callum Wilson than sign this old fart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get Higs from Napoli we must have a time machine. He left there 2 and a half years ago., lolol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,224 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Gonzalo Higuain asks to join Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea https://metro.co.uk/2018/12/28/gonzalo-higuain-asks-join-maurizio-sarri-chelsea-8288002/ Maurizio Sarri is a step closer to reuniting with Gonzalo Higuain as the Argentine striker has agreed to join Chelsea, according to reports in Italy. Sarri wants Chelsea to sign a new forward in the January transfer window and Higuain is top of his shortlist. The pair thrived together during their time at Napoli with Higuain setting a Serie A record by scoring 36 goals in the 2015/16 campaign. Sarri was unhappy with Higuain’s decision to join Juventus after that record-breaking campaign but the Chelsea boss remains fond of the 31-year-old and described him as a ‘wonderful player’ and a ‘wonderful man’ last week. Higuain is currently on loan at AC Milan from Juventus but the Argentine is struggling to find his best form with just two goals in his last 10 appearances. snip also he hasn't scored since October no goals in Milan's last 12 games, 1 in their last 15 He has not scored 2 in his last ten appearances, the article is wrong, his only goal since October 7th was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why Bats?? Whats he done so good ffs? He is another failed loanee being sent home with his tail between his legs. If anyone I'd give Tammy a shot.

All four of those are bad options. I have never been Higs fan but he is worth a punt on a 6 month loan. That said, he is in a massive slump as well. We should have signed Icardi in July and put this whole thing to bed for years. Our board is shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind that but Tammy so far seems a Championship flat track bully (hopefully changes!), and he is a youth player, meaning Sarri won't play him. Only really young player I have ever seen Sarri get genuinely excited over is Sandro Tonali, who we absolutely need to buy and scupper Juve's dreams.

Well you know my thoughts. Its sad but I just donr see it tho.. As I put earlier him and his Mrs gets treated like royalty in Italy. They love being the center of attention, And thats what he thrives on. The only way we could tempt him is if we sent Eden and Sarri out to see them and said they would be bigger than copper knob and Meghan and needed him to team up with Eden. We have to go into this market not worried about saving a £million here and there. Have a big old wedge and make it snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a choice of the players we currently had mate. Not my 1st choice neither but worth a punt over our 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bollocks to anyone that says he isnt ready! Every game I see him play he is close to best player on the pitch and Serie A is no joke. That CR7 shut-down did it for me. Also, all I hear about Reece James. So we have two potentially WC RB's. I so wished we played youth more. It would pay off massively in the long run.

I'm all for bringing them in for backup experience but after theyve had regular playing time to come back to a bench I think they get demoralized.

If we sign Higuain on a six-month loan deal, then I don't really see what we've got to lose. Can't be any worse than we've got. The only concern if anything, is needing him to adapt to the Premier League ASAP. Batshuayi is crap. Let's not pretend that he's any better or great all of a sudden. The fact that Valencia are reportedly looking to terminate his loan deal says a lot. Do we really want to sign Callum Wilson or someone as average as him? Because you know if we do that, then the board will just pat themselves on the back and think that's good enough for us moving forward and that we won't need to buy any other (aka better) striker.
