Special Juan 28,140 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 He will be a focal point we don't have, he will try and get behind and run the channels, and you can bet your arse he will roll his sleeves up and fight...like someone we have already will not.

Alabama 1,992 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Let's hope the club is eyeing someone like Icardi or Werner in the summer or younger alternatives like Piatek or Jovic...so that Morata Giroud and Batshuayi should be shown the exit door...

ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I would feel far more comfortable with Higuain leading the line than Morata. thats enough for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xPetrCechx 13,573 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Chelsea have stepped up their efforts to sign Gonzalo Higuain as Alvaro Morata looks secure a loan switch to Sevilla (ES)AC Milan have an agreement with Juventus in place which saw them pay £16m to take Higuain on loan in view of making the deal permanent in the summer for £32m.Juventus will want Chelsea to commit to a similar deal, ****but the Chelsea hierarchy prefer only a short term deal.***Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,224 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Gonzalo Higuain transfer: Row at Chelsea threatens deal The Argentinean forward has been strongly linked with the Blues, with Maurizio Sarri desperate to team up with him again https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/gonzalo-higuain-transfer-row-chelsea-13832713 A row between Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri and Director Marina Granovskaia is putting the Blues' deal for Gonzalo Higuain under threat. That's according to a report from Fabrizio Romano of calciomercato.com , who claims that Blues transfer 'Iron Lady' Granovskaia has reservations over paying up to £45m for a 31-year-old. Higuain - who has only scored one goal in his last 10 appearances for AC Milan - is seen as a top target for Sarri as he looks to add the forward that Chelsea have been sorely missing this season.

blues.bridge 343 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 take higuain for 45B (one goal in last 10 games, he is in decline, 32 Y/O) and not take Icardi for 100B is pure foolish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before Cristiano arrived. Lol, not a chance. Zero. For sure this summer window (6 months ago like you said) Dybala, Icardi, SMS, Insigne, Koulibaly, and arguably Immobile, Pjanic and Skriniar were clearly seen as better players. Higuain was already well into a very real decline, his league goals the last 3 and a half years 36 24 16 6 (and only one since October) I hope he comes good, but the crashout warning signs are flashing red. If it is more than a 6 to 18 month loan with NO obligation to buy, we are mad as ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Higuain wouldn't be my first choice and he obviously isn't a long term option. However he has a far more reliable goalscoring record than Morata and Giroud combined and I want to be able to see how much better our team looks with a striker with predatory instincts - getting in behind the last man, anticipation, movement in the box, finishing, etc. We still create chances even when we have been struggling to score, and we also find a real lack of movement at the top end of the field when we get the ball into those positions. Higuain isn't the long term answer but he might be the short term solution in a January market that is always a nightmare to try and shop in.

Blue Armour 4,448 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Nothing to comment about this other than play captain obvious and call it a stop-gap signing. I'll definitely rate this higher than the Alexandre Pato signing from a few years ago. Just hoping it can be a lot better than that. If he isn't going to be putting balls in the back of the net, then he is pretty much useless. We already have Giroud as a target man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already posted about him in the Wilson thread but I dont see any point other than a loan. It wouldn't make sense and would make us look foolish to pay this much for someone for a 1 year contract/ To give him more would make what we are going thri / been thru, with Cesc and Luiz etc etc laughable. I do thimk he would like to be with his old Boss again and vice versa and no doubting a step up from what we have. I cant see Higain coming on a loan tho. If we are looking at stop gaps I'd prefer Cavani. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alabama 1,992 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 A serious questions? Why is Sarri so hellbent on past his best Higuain Giroud 2.0.... why? Sarri and Marina just sit down take a look at Jovic vids and throw in very good bid for that guy...we creating a loads of chances only need somebody to put the ball at the back of the net which Luka Jovic is more that capable of doing...tired of this stopgap signings that might end up not benefiting us... Jovic has the making and attributes of a phenomenal top class striker.....the guy will become a beast in Sarriball... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to like collecting those. Weah, Drogs, Etoo, Torres. Only missing Ibra and maybe bring Ronaldo out pf retirement🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
