Spike 12,049 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Because the guy simply isnt that good. I dont know how much you've watched Real, but I wouldnt want this guy in Chelsea. No way. He hasnt got that edge..I've watched him, but man you are being vague. I can kind of understand where you are coming from but I don't think he is Torres level. He could join and score 200 goals for all we know or he could flop as hard as can be, we just don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Not a fan of Higuain. Poor work rate and goes missing in the "big" games. I've not seen enough of him to make an absolute judgement, but I've seen enough to know he is only a slightly better version of Torres.

Pacquiao 1,834 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Higuain is a fantastic striker his main problem at Madrid is Ronaldo! he would be much better in a team where he is the main man the team relies on to score the majority of goals, he would be an outstanding striker in system where he is the focal point of every attack. At Madrid when i see him play with Ronaldo its got to a point now where he looks for Ronaldo before he looks to shoot himself! if he came here i am sure he would be a success!

lucio 5,418 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 why are people doubting him - he is one of the best goalscorers around. after having a timid spanish woman in our team we would be blessed to have higuain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds exactly like Torres - Drogba must go before I can play... #bullshit...Higuain isn't good enough - end of story...are you serious???its nothing like Torres!!! Ronaldo is a freak and the team is built around him like Messi at Barca! that is why Ibrahimovic and Villa haven't been prolific at Barca because the team is built around Messi! look at Ibra now in a team built around him! it will be the same with Benzema and Higuian if they played in a team which was built around them then you would see two world class strikers! who would score 30+ goals a season!put Falcao, RVP or Lewandowski in the Real or Barca team and put them in the same situation as Higuian or Villa where they are forced to play in a system that gets the best out of Messi/Ronaldo! and you would see all three of them much less prolific! end of story.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Very funny how some people where calling Gomez rubbish but want to Higuian. Decent player and a good finisher but lacks consistency a bit. I actually rate him higher than Benzema, but his price will be too high, and I don't even think we will sign a striker in the summer, tbh.

I rate RvP much higher than him and I reckon RvP would shine where Higuain hasn't... As for Villa = bad since he broke his leg! Nothing to do with Messi or Ronaldo... That's MY opinion, deal with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I am not a huge fan. He does go missing at times from what i have seen. He has an impressive goalscoring record, but i don't think we should just go off that. If he comes he will have my full support, but there are better options out there imo.

lucio 5,418 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjCDyoGSVTQhe has great finishing and scores exceptional goals. he is really good with either foot and hits the ball very cleanly and with allot of power.however his aerial game is non existence and offers no real presence. also he is often caught offside.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Higuain is a fantastic striker his main problem at Madrid is Ronaldo! he would be much better in a team where he is the main man the team relies on to score the majority of goals, he would be an outstanding striker in system where he is the focal point of every attack.

Drogba was our main striker for 8 seasons and in only 2 of those did he get more than 20 goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacquiao 1,834 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 But is that us? Drogba was our main striker for 8 seasons and in only 2 of those did he get more than 20 goals. I didnt say it was. just making the point that he would be a beast in a team where he would be the main man, swap Higuain for Rvp and i would bet Higuain would be one of the top scorers in the PL easily! He would be immense for us also as he is a class player and good finisher, he would get great service and would score goals, he wouldn't be my first choice as there are better strikers out there, but if we do sign him i would be very happy!

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 There is some heavy criticism for Higuain but unfair I think.First, strikers play best when they play regulary. The problem with both, Higuain and Benz is that they dont play regular football at RM.Most important is this: higuain is poacher type striker. Same as Gomez or Falcao. If you think Higuain wont fit us here because he has bad work rate, how come you want Falcao who is similar type of striker? Now you will say he is world class finisher and all, BUT there is little fact. Falcao last year scored 24 goals in 2900min. Higuain scored 22 in 1700min. Just two less in 800min less play time. That is little fact you forget about. And Higuain also had 9 assists, Falcao just 4. Also important, Atletico plays on falcao, Real plays on Ronaldo. In Ronaldo's first season, Higuain played better than Ronaldo himself, scoring more goals than ronaldo too. All until Benzema came season later, Higuain was superb for his age (much better than Lewa for example). To compare Higuain and Falcao this year, well Falcao scored 26 goals in 2600min, Higuain scored 13 goals in 1400min. Given same timing, Higuain would have about two goals less than Falcao. And to say that Real as team was shit this year (compared to last year, basicaly every player was much better last year, from Pipita, Benzema, Casillas, Xabi, Marcelo, Ozil,...) while Atletico was on fire this year and obviously they play on Falcao every game.In season 2009/10 (aged 22) pipita scored 27! goals in just 2300min. Something even Falcao hasnt achieved in given time.Anothee problem for all Real strikers is Ronaldo. Extremely selfish player he is, he was practicaly responsible for loss to Bvb with his silly dribbles and wide shots. He scores goals, but he destroys all team work and strikers are in his shadow.Just saying, put Higuain in Atletico or give him regular time and he will score 25-30 goals every season. He might go missing in big games, but that is because of pressure he gets. He needs to ultimately prove every game so he can keep playing. In big games pressure ie even bigger. But he is young, loyal (never complains) and scores. If Falcao will suceed here, so will Higuain, if not, neither of them will.He will probably leave Real this summer because they will want someone ala Aguerro and they wont keep 3 (+Morata) strikers. I realy feel sorry for Pipita, he clearly loves Real and all, but they will force him to leave, Im sure. And he isnt bad striker at all...At full confidence and regular play, this guy is better than Falcao, mind my words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's good at what he does, but I'm very sceptical that he would shine here. Our forwards need to be able to connect and move the ball around with our main men, the three behind the striker. Personally, I think Higuain would be a very bad buy considering our formation and players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 9,941 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Higuain is wank. He is only good enough to be a sub here. He doesn't cut it at Real so why would he cut it here at the European Champions?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 9,941 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 So naive...I din't think I am. I actually think Higuain is not good enough at the highest level. When has he ever had a wow momwnt in the Champs League or top competitions apart from in the Spanish La Liga. He is no Raul in my book.
