🇦🇷 Gonzalo Higuain

It's either a Chelsea shirt or an Argentina shirt. I would bet on the latter, but it does look very similar to our 08-09 kit.

I don't think he has ever missed a one on one chance.

[The Big Drog 1,110]

Very talented striker, still young and he has the attributes to succeed in the Premier League and he would probably suit AVB's style. However I very much doubt that Real Madrid would sell him, particularly in January when they are already quite low on strikers and I doubt that he would want to leave Madrid.

[Spike 12,049]

I was doing a bit of reading on him and it turns out, he has only been an Argentine since 2007, before then he was a French Citizen. What and odd little fact.

He seems like the type AVB would like. The South American/Iberian type.

Why don't we go for Callejon instead? He'd come a lot cheaper.

Callejon has nothing except Pace going for him, may as well sign Walcott or Lennon.

He'd a good supporting striker (not literally in that positional sense)

You mean a good squad player?

Another problem I have with him, is that he is already 24 but he has barely played 100 professional games. Mata is younger and has already played well over 200.

If we are seriously picking players by nationality instead of ability...

Why don't we go for Podolski? Able to play on the left and in the middle and he's willing to leave (23 goals in 32 league matches in the year 2011 btw).

It was a joke.

I would like to see this happen that Callejon fella is a top prospect. Think he would be a great signing but as much as i would like to see this happen i can't see it due to his recent run of form. Murinho will want to keep hold of him!

Though he has never lived in France and doesn't soeak French.

[Joker10 946]

I rate him, but he disappears way too much in big games.

I heard there was an Arsenal-link with him.. £20million was often quoted in those stories. It's a possibility. The type of players who are bought in, to play a part in the background but could lead the line with good form.

Yep, that

This is true.. But Real clearly saw something from him, when they saw him playing at Espanyol, to recall him. Though for experience, as DYC. said, Podolski would be a good shout.

Higuain is top quality.

is Higuain a long term replacement for Drogba ?

[Hd123 5]

Hopefully, and at the reported 20m, a better value than something like 50m for Cavani or 40m falcao, etc

[LDN Blue 7,903]

£24m would be brilliant for Higuain! Easily a player who would command a £40m fee.
