We seem to like collecting those. Weah, Drogs, Etoo, Torres. Only missing Ibra and maybe bring Ronaldo out pf retirement🤣 It might look harsh... but I can't stand the striker situation of the club...a club as big as Chelsea not having a capable goal scoring centre forward...

Special Juan 28,140 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 He's the one we want, but you can just see this dragging out all month on the 28th January we get Wilson for 50M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Cavani is starter for psg, I don't know how do you loan such player. I think Higuain, will be just a loan till the end of the season. I don't like it but Morata look absolutely unhappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And IMHO its completely daft if its for a 1 year contract which at 31 is all we would give him, 14 minutes ago, Special Juan said: Batshuayi is on his way back from Valencia, but I think he will be straight back out. Good! Love his character and had high hopes for him. And while he just might be better than our current 2 I'd rather not take that gamble with the shite we are in. See what happens with him in pre season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,952 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Can't compare Higuain to Giroud. The former is a modern, all around striker who can finish from anywhere around the box and carries the ball in space well. Can also make runs off the shoulder of defenders and spin in behind onto a through ball. Giroud is the classic target man #9 who will only really score from inside the box these days. Higuain isn't ideal but let us not forget that he has been a world class #9 in recent years and done the business at multiple big clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldportblue 547 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 It was reported earlier that Marina was against the Higuain signing and Sarri was for it... With this latest news from the usually reliable Telegraph stating that we are now negotiating for him, does it mean that a manager finally managed to make a breakthrough with our board and Marina and made them understand that the manager probably knows better what the team needs?... Hope that's the case and that going forward Sarri's wishes will be taken into account more. If Sarri wants Higuain I'm all for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
