they for sure will go for another striker. especially after the bead season karim had. cavani/suarez the main options.

Like i already said, Perez and Bronzetti each confirmed that getting a new star striker is not really priority, and also that cavani will not come to madrid.

If ancelotti goes to madrid and decides to change that, then who knows but right not the madrid board is not actively looking for a new starter. Benzema for now looks like he will be given the starting spot.

Suarez has offered us to us if anything, but perez clearly stated in a recent interview that a new leading striker is not the priority.

While some feel he's overrated I feel he's horribly underrated. It's actually sad. The move to Madrid really affected him. They made him a much more static striker and the inconsistency of in-and-out of the team mentality which was used with the strikers means he had trouble finding his feet and thus missed some sitters when coming into the team after being frozen out for 5 or more games.

That said, despite being used so much as a back-up or rotation option, he is Real Madrid's third highest goalscorer since Emilio Butragueño who broke into the Real Madrid team in 1983. Since Butragueño's time with the club ended in 1994, only Cristano Ronaldo and Raul have more goals for the club than him. Yep. In 5 seasons Higuain has more goals than the Ronaldo had at Real Madrid in the same amount of time. Difference is, Ronaldo arrived at Madrid being one of the best strikers in the world whereas Higuain arrived from the bloody Argentinian league.

Messi has 35 goals in 82 games for Argentina.

Aguero has 18 goals in 45 games for Argentina.

Higuain has 20 goals in 32 games for Argentina.

That's a huge difference in goal-to-game ratio in favour of Higuain who's been in the team for 4 years less than the always prolific Messi and 7 years less than Aguero.

Higuain should have been Argentina's answer to Spain's Raul. He's been mismanaged by both managers and members of the Real Madrid board who always favoured Benzema for some bizarre reason.

If he arrives here and starts to play consistently again I'm quite positive he'll regain that once-electric pace he possessed in Argentina and his crisp finishing which is amongst the best in the world should follow.
