I like to read his name as "Golazo" Higuain.

Just thought, I'd share that. Carry on..

I like to read it as "Gonzalo" because I find the word "Gonzalo" incredibly fun to say and type. Gonzalo.

This guy is incredibly overrated. He needs 5 chances to score a goal, never ever appears in big games, not even close to a top class player. Everybody would be an upgrade compared to Torres, but we can do so much better.

Higuain and Ba for around £30m makes more sense.than Falcao for £50m

Hard to disagree when you put it like that. But with Torres, Lukaku and Ba all under contract, I'd prefer a different type of striker. It's all a bit too similar for me. Even though I do rate Higuain. But I do agree that he tends to go missing in big games though, his only major flaw.

I agree mate. Use to think Higuain was an absolute beast and prayed to the God of Blue to bring him to The Bridge but after watching a fair few of his performances for RM, I was left unimpressed. He isn't as prolific as he was once and does need too many chances to score especially in big games. Having said that though, he is one cool cat and you never know how he could react to a new start at the Champions of Europe (I will refer to us as that for as long as i live). Is there actually any substance to the rumours at all?

According to the latest blog by Guillem Balague, Real Madrid are trying to fund their move for Falcao by the potential transfer of Higuain, which Guillem estimated to be around €25m.

I believe this could be a good move for us in case we managed to sell Torres and would add to our bid in building a strike force that can challenge the strikers who are leading the two Manchester clubs.

Torres, Lukaku and Ba are similar? What are you looking at, their shoe size?

Yes.

In a way all 3 like to play of the shoulders of defenders and/or in spaces between where they have room to shoot. I don't think any of them are pure target men who like to have their back towards defenders and try and out muscle them like Drogba.

emm no? to prefer a player that is injured most of the season, over a goal scorer machine?!

Bit harsh supposing Higuain on his day is as good/better than Falcao. Hes 25 and has scored over 100 goals in 7 years for Real Madrid, if that doesn't put him in the bracket of goal machine then fuck knows what does. One of the best strikers out just forgotten because of his injuries in the last 2/3 years and Mou's preference for Benzema.

'Mou's preference for Benzema' isn't by mistake. It's because Higuain isn't as clinical as he was once, yea he is a class striker but Benzema delivers in the big games when called upon. Higuain wastes too many chances, you only have to look at RM's season last year to see it happening.

[Spike 12,049]

I blame the back injuries that occurred during the 10/11 season for Higuaín's loss of ability. But he isn't injury prone at all and routinely makes around 40 appearances all season and last year hit a high of 54 appearances. Not too shabby if I do say so myself.

Thats due to Benzema being suited to RM's style perfectly. Saying that, Higuain is a very prolific striker. 7 goals and 2 assists in 643 minutes (Just over 7 full games).

Last year he played 35 matches. Coming on as a sub 17 times and coming off as one 14 times, yet he still managed to score 22 goals and get 9 assists. All that in 1712 minutes. A goal every 77 minutes. 25M is a steal.

Seeing Ba put up a good performance on his debut shows that perhaps we don't need to buy very expensive strikers to see the goals flow.According to me,we should pull out of the Falcao/Cavani race and concentrate on players like Higuain who would cost us much less.

It would be smarter to spend 45m on 3 strikers than on one.
