Is he going to be much better or even better than Tevez was for them though?
Gonzalo Higuain | Chelsea Player
- Thread starter RDCR07
- Start date
Don't know if this has been posted, but video of EVRA's reaction to the signing. Can you anything but not love that man?

35 games, 36 goals in the Seria A. People overrate potential and age. City paid like 70m for Sterling based on 'potential'. Cavani itself went for around 65m 3 years back. Not too hard to think of 90m for Higuain. I think Juve paid like 20m more than the market price. In present market, you can't get a elite striker for much less. And mostly none of them are available.
71 goals, 104 games for Napoli in league past 3 seasons. Easily the best player Juve could have got.
Edit: Having said that, our Suarez business was absolute perfect. Impossible to get anyone better than him at that price.

Classic
Is he now the 3rd highest transfer of all time above Ronaldo? wow !! he's good.. but that good? Real Madrid have dropped a massive clanger here
Oh, okay. Fair enough.
The point is whether you would match the spending of the other big spenders and make yourselves favorites for the title? You certainly have the money to do that.
Will spending 150m make you title favorites? Or in the end when you come 3rd/4th the narrative will be "we have done what we could with our spending"? It certainly begs the question that maybe Arsenal doesn't want to spend huge because fans will then expect to win the title. It may be wrong but it is still a plausible theory.
I can't believe Juventus have really done that 
Serie A (unless Napoli and Roma can make some massive signings)
Serie A
(unless Napoli and Roma can make some massive signings)£75m. Why not? You spent £42.5m on Ozil pre-new TV deal money and have continued spending since on the likes of Sanchez, Xhaka. You aren't some small club, probably pull in as much matchday money and have more physical money in the bank than any club in the world, not to mention big TV money as a significant player in by far the world's richest league and solid commercial pulling power.
That said, I did say somebody like Higuain, not necessarily him specifically. As mentioned I think he's been overpriced here massively, but there's no reason Arsenal shouldn't be looking to go out and drop £40-50m on a world-class striker who'll provide them 25 goals a season.
I fully expect Arsenal to be showing off their financial clout a lot more frequently once Wenger leaves.
Arsenal have the money. Wenger just doesn't want to spend.
Higuain was available for under €40 million and Arsenal got outbid by Napoli for him.
Juventus have lacked a top striker so we went out and bought higuain regardless of price.
Arsenal doesn't seem to want to win the league any more and last season was their best ever chance in a long time.
It will never be so easy to win the PL for quite a long time I would imagine.

Higuain is as good as Gerd Muller? Goals count a lot but if a player is vastly superior in every other area, then he's obviously a vastly superior foorballer. There's a reason why Muller isnt considered close to the likes of Messi, Pele and Maradona.
Suarez scores plenty and hurts you in ways Higuain simply can't. Obviously there's a big gap between them by virtue of that.
Suarez is in his own league as a CF. No player is able to have the same impact as him on the pitch. Higuain is probably in the top 3 though.
Nope, my point is you can be an elite player even as a pure striker.
Apart from those players(atleast 2 of them) not many, regardless of what they could do on the pitch are considered on their level(incorrectly so imo). However, you couldn't make a 10 man list of players that Muller is not considered amongst. Even though most of them did things he couldn't. Make a top 10 striker list and see how high he features.
Still doesn't make him tiers above him with a huge gap between them. He's better than him, but saying there are tiers with a huge gulf is stretching it. Would you say there were tiers between Henry and RVN?
Only his parents, not agents. Agents separately sued Barca.
Benzema 242 in 485 whilst he doesn't take pens at Real and hasn't for years.
Aguero 260 in 498 whilst being injury prone and playing out wide with Atletico.
Neymar and Zlatan are better goalscorers as well.
Luca Toni has scored close to 50 goals in two seasons for a middle level team like Verona at 36-38, those three would outscore Higuain and offer far more outside of goals.
I'd take Benzema ahead of Higuain, any day.

Astounding change of perspective by the Juventuz peeps. Just a month ago, he was widely mocked there but now it's apparently just a huge smear campaign against him

It's a lot of money for a striker that just isn't world class. Good goal record but nothing else on his game.
First Napoli Juventus match sure will be tasty. For Higuain especially.
Higuain scores wonder goal but misses penalty. 1-1 draw
Its a lot of money and hes in the late stage of hes career. But hes maybe the best striker that Juve could go for. Also seems like Higuain has become better in the years. But what I think is weird is that no top clubs picked him up from Madrid. This would have been a perfect signing for Arsenal. And in retrospect you can say that does who believed Higuain to be world class was right. I actually wanted him to United.
Either way. I think this is a statement that Juve are not messing around. Yes they may sell Pogba, but I think its easier to cover for Pogba then to buy a quality striker like Higuain. Hes is simply world class and I would be surprised if he dont get loads of goals. Not many strikers can promise that. Looking forward to see him in CL.

It's fair to say he's been at the pizza and peroni.
Never gets old
Looks like Tig from Sons of Anarchy gained a few pounds and joined Juventus.
Suarez: Impossible to get anyone better at all. Ronaldo will never join Barca and then for me Suarez is the best player after Ron and Messi anyway. Such a bargain when you look at it now. Incredible what he's doing at Barca.
How can you let yourself get that fat as an elite footballer unless you have a lengthy injury lay off?It's fair to say he's been at the pizza and peroni.
9 months of no cheat days compacted in 6 weeks off, he clearly loves his cream cakes does Higuain.
You don't train, your body is used to absorbing huge amount of calories due to training regime. You just end up eating the same amount of calories like you would during regular season without the proper training.
Everybody knows that, pro athletes take care of themselves by either having some personal trainer or contacting the training staff at the club for diet/training regime; others like Higuain don't do that et voila, he's a fat shit.
How much did they pay for that fatty again? They could have gotten our fat captain for cheaper instead.
Best finisher in football. He'll score 40 easy this season
Class player.
What a player
He is a class finisher in the Italian league. Helps to play with class players too against weak opposition. His goals are great tbf, seems to be at his peak
For the NT team, he bottles it in big games. His runs are good, bu for some reason he doesnt play as dominant and finishes cool as for his club teams.

He scored over 100 goals for Real Madrid too. He's an incredible finisher he just hasn't been able to deliver in Finals.
He's better for Argentina than the likes of Di Maria & Aguero.
Yes, but he still got sold and he wasnt always a starter at Madrid? Sure he bangs them in, but for Real, Napoli and Juve, who dominate their leagues mostly. He is world class now for Juve and last year for Napoli, no doubt. Confidence sky high
They weren't easy goals either. Both goals needed solid finishing so I'm very happy so far with him.
