Gonzalo Higuain

If get's Morata out of this fucking club I don't care one jot.

Gonzalo Higuain has agreed to join Chelsea from AC Milan, according to Marca. 

[Special Juan 28,088]

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.

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...

I would feel far more comfortable with Higuain leading the line than Morata. thats enough for me

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.***

He has one goal in Milan's last 15 games, all comps.

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.

 

Snip

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!

[Special Juan 28,088]

How would a journo know there had been an argument?

Remember just 6 months ago he was regarded as the best player in Serie A by everybody, not only Juventus fans. 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

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.

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.
