Gonzalo Higuain

[Special Juan 28,140]

The fact it could be a lone deal also means that it's temporary and he goes back in the summer. We need to be looking for a long term striker and if GH is a quick fix then do it.

Not really sure what is so funny. Like you expected the boss to talk publicly about possible negotiations. That is funny  

[Pizy 18,952]

Don't want him. I would've taken a punt from the beginning of the season but having not really heard a thing about his time in Milan I'm guessing he hasn't done much? His age combined with his body just makes him a panic option/temporary bandaid.

Trouble is there isn't any outstanding candidate we can turn to in the middle of the season. I literally can't even name someone who is at the level required that is possible. In 20/20 hindsight missing out on Aubameyang when he was desperate to leave was a mistake. Imagine his pace and skill playing off Hazard...

A club official saying negotiations is ongoing is unusual? 🤔

Do we really have anything to lose if we sign Higuain on a six-month loan deal? As you said, impossible to find a proper quality striker in January.

Indeed.

However there were rumours that Morata might head in their way on 1,5 year loan or something.

F*ck that. We need to sell Morata because he cost 60m and we need to get as much back, so we can invest in new striker in summer.

WTF!!!

Chelsea have not made approach to sign Gonzalo Higuain, say AC Milan

I guess not, but I'm not even sure he'd be any better than Giroud. Someone who's dangerous at times but won't score much.

I am sticking with my no real business being done this January stance.

MAYBE Higs in, at most.

I have zero faith in the board and Roman at this point.

The only thing that contradicts this was the Kepa buy. I am still shocked (very very pleasantly so) at that one.

Jorginho HAD to come or no Sarri.

Let us all hope I am dead wrong!

what really depresses me

is a August 2019 front 3 of

LW Willian

CF Callum Wilson (Or Higs, especially a flop Higs)

RW Pulisic

(with Eden gone and the money not well spent)

Well I THINK or HOPE you're being a bit tough on Pulisic. Klopps got a pretty good eye and he likes him Hes a fast old boy and would be great on breaks BVut I'd take Willian out myself if that was the case. With the players we have 30+  we need to get our average down. Tho I do still think Higs will be OK and seeing as we wont go for Icardi hes a plaster for now.

But will probably outscore Giroud anyway.

Maybe the stadium was holding us back? That's why this summer we spent nice. 

That hypothesis will hold truth if this January we spent big again. 

Pulisic is there, but we must get more.

Higuain is having an absolute stinker against SPAL. Getting booed by the Milan fans as well.

He took the goal extremely well too. A lot of strikers on a bit of a barren spell would snatch at that chance with a defender diving in and players on the goal line. He was calm and composed, and is a great example of him as a great finisher.

There are cons to such a deal and there is a huge risk hoping he'll hit the ground running, but we do create chances and he is the sort of player who will find himself on the end of chances and put them away.

Higuain after the Milan v SPAL game...

“It was an important goal and three fundamental points after all we’ve wasted before, but now we can have a rest with our families,” the striker told DAZN.

“It’s natural the fans expect more from me. I came to Milan because I was convinced by the project here and I want to continue like this.

“Gattuso has always supported me and above all been honest. This goal is for him. Now we’ve got the Supercoppa, it’s the first trophy of the season and we want to win.”
