Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I am sure the club will not do it. The board is often wrong but not that plain stupid. They will not pay 75m for Wilson either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club need a quick fix and now, we do not want to be stuck with a ageing striker as we are going back over old ground. Come the summer, we need a top class striker. 31 years. there are a lot of players in top form at 31-32-33 years the fact that a guy like batshuay is young, doesn't mean that he will reach higuain's level at all many young players' best quality is their young age, and when they are on the pitch their age does'nt help them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,952 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 If we're going to do anything with ANY striker I wish we'd do so early this week so we don't have to play the bloody false 9 against Arsenal, a match we have to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is we need a quick fix until summer not be tied down with an aged player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kc_blue 265 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 The board can't agree to anything beyond a 6 month loan. Anything else is stupid beyond reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 If the terms were right I wouldn't be against an 18 month loan if it smoothed negotiations to get him in now and on the assumption we "clear the decks" with our strikers in the summer (Morata, Giroud, Batshuayi, possibly Abraham).because it still would allow us to focus on buying a new striker in the summer with a much more long term thinking (if it was someone say like Jovic or Piatek), without the immediate pressures of coming into the club and hitting the ground running if we still had someone like Higuain here. The problem in all of this is Juventus wanting an obligation to buy if that is true because that would be ludicrous. But apparently from reports Milan weren't going to buy Higuain permanently so they could not have had an obligation to buy, I assume they had merely an option to buy. An option to buy becomes irrelevant because we can just pass on the option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwork 1,794 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Remember the logic being used to buy Giroud, that he can’t be any worse than Morata. Now basically the same argument Higuain can’t be any worse than Giroud and Morata. Really enough with the band aid signings, need to address the issue.

That's my problem with Sarri because he is sole leader behind this move...why can't we go for a very young striker that has world class abilities...Jovic/Piatek/Werner... atleast one of those potential world class strikers...so we solve this striking issues once and for all...

Pizy 18,952 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Giroud was never considered as a direct and immediate replacement for Morata. He was brought in to rotate and compete with him. Higuain would come in as the undisputed #1 option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kc_blue 265 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I knew this deal would never work out the way we wanted it. Juve will never offer us a deal that works for us. They aren't stupid, this is a way they can get rid of him. We can't saddle ourselves with buying him. It would be like shooting ourselves in the foot with a bazooka.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 would rather sign this Daigne guy for 20m than Higuain on any permanent deal. But the board seems hellbent on either Wilson or Higuain... I will never understand those lunatics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
