Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Of course he isn't worth anything near 90m, but to understand the drive behind this you need to understand the relation between Juve and Napoli. This is like us buying peak Henri against Arsenal's will while they can't do anything about it. No its not. Peak Henry was a top 5 player in the world. Higuain barely cracks top 50. Sure, there should be a premium if buying from a rival, but this is too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is one of the best strikers in the world. The only thing going against him is his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji38] A player that broke a 65 year old record at a team like Napoli in the most defensive league in the world and he is just about in the top 50. You're having a giraffe.

My comparison was that Higuain to Napoli is what Henri was for Arsenal. And it's not about buying from a rival, it's about buying despite the rival's desire not to sell.

Was it made of solid gold? £90!? Anyways, I think Higuain will be great there initially but they'll regret spending such a ridiculous amount on him in a couple of years.

Fulham Broadway 17,332 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 TV money has ruined the game The PL TV deal figures are staggering and the next one is already going to dwarf even those eye-watering amounts. Also with the Chinese teams now also contributing in inflating the market, you're looking at pretty much £15m as standard for relatively average players.

They go crazy with out a plan and splash the money. Now granted the players here are much better, but still because you have insane of money caution is thrown out of the way.

akgw13 867 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Sarri & Higuain go hand in hand. only way it makes any sense. Hurts to give up on Morata this early but Sarri & Higuain reset our timetable to compete now. Plus we have Tammy coming up behind, and depending what we do with Batman we could have a load of cash. I personally prefer Icardi solely due to his age, but Higuain & Hazard with Sarri is quite scary to think about. If we don't secure Sarri than obviously Higuain wont happen.

blues.bridge 343 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Almost 32 Y / o, which in a year has been in a clear waning phase! do we want to be a pension for old gamers? take higuain would really be stupid !!! Go all for Icardi, we have only to pay his fuckin' clause! and he at long time (3-4 season) would be a bussiness much more better than higuain!!!

!Hazard! 3,394 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Depends on the price tag. If he comes for Giroud money then it's obviously a great move, for anything above £25m it's a massive gamble on an ageing player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
