Gonzalo Higuain

[Namika 922]

wtf

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

I'd like him here too, not for that price. I don't think we are that desperate yet

[Namika 922]

Maybe that's why we ask £25M for KDB.

[ephreak 42]

Wow at that price tag.. Just wow.

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

Maybe that's why we ask £25M for KDB.

Surely we can get more than that for Mata

[gr123 167]

£50m? Surely not!? Fuck sake Chelsea, get a grip.

[Jase 43,479]

Is The Telegraph reliable in your country?

Erm, sort of. Only really believe the Guardian though but considering we're in the transfer window, probably best to take news like this with a pinch of salt.

[Toli 977]

50 million for a just good striker? yeah sure. if we wanted him to sign, we would have back in the summer. complete BS this rumour. futhermore no striker who wins your titles. we need really someone who IS WORLCLASS not another guy who is just good. he wasnt even a starter for Mourinho back then at Madrid.

[Mouri_Matic 560]

£50m despite posting lost of £50m last yea, sound about true...

[renanh 311]

Obviously fabricated/rumour mill story.

[blu35_army 551]

enough for £50m striker,,we must learn from the past...

Because of Benz. Yet he still played every other game.

But 50m that would be insane to say the least.

[Strike 7,228]

Haha. Bullshit rumour surely

[Barbara 15,149]

At Real Madrid, he was the second-choice to Benzema, the same Benzema that went 13 games without scoring for France.

He's not as horrible as our strikers but he is little more than average. Certainly, he would be an upgrade from Torres, Ba and Etoo. But if you tell me Higuain is in the same class as Falcao, Aguero, Lewandowski or Costa, then you are out of your mind.

Higuain is worth perhaps 20 million. Anything over that would be overpriced.

He wasn't second choice to Karim. Mourinho simply rotated the two of them as stats show:

2012/13

Karim: 34 starts; 20 subs

Pipita: 30 starts; 18 subs

2011/12

Karim: 40/12

Pipita: 28/26

2010/11 (when Pipita had surgery and spent more than 3 months without playing)

Karim: 31/17

Pipita: 22/3

I love him and so does José and he likes José a lot as well, but please, he ain't worth 60m not here, not in Mars.

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

fuck me, £50 million for higuain? as much as i hate de laurentiis for the cavani saga, i just hope he'll do the same thing this time too and reject every bid out there. with diego costa available for £32 million how the hell we're even thinking about higuain? costa might not be available in this transfer window, but i'd rather have him in the summer and stick with eto'o, torres and ba untill then, than having higuain near this team.

[bushman 2,043]

I doubt 50m was offered for him. Unless Mata might be part of the package, one never know.

[FabHazard 655]

50 m for higuain is laughable... Not sure whom to laugh at chelsea for bidding or napoli for rejecting..!!

Well after his surgery he was more of a second choice. Karim played most of the CL games from start for example and also often played the Clasicos.

Higuain is massively overrated. in the CL he sucked every year and couldnt score for his life (just remember the Lyon chance). against Barca he also barely impressed. 50 m would be a huge joke, even 40 m was a joke, but Napoli had to pay them because of Cavani. Futhermore Higuain is nobody who combines with a team greatly, more of a proacher who waits for his chance and just scores (well he is really good at it, no one can deny). but he tends to often lose his nerves in big games and waste clear chances. For 30 m he would be ok, but everything above it would be insane.
