He could do far better than Arsenal though. We'd go straight in for him if we lost Rooney and he was available for example
Higuain to leave Real Madrid
- Thread starter Raoul
- Start date
Gazidis made big noise about us having lots of money.
As for Higuain though - apparently the terms were agreed but Real upped the price at the final stage.
If that's true, someone upstairs at Arsenal might be kicking themselves about making those noises. On the surface, sounds like Real really want to fleece some more.
Just a minor removal from the hundreds on here who felt he was 'good enough' for Arsenal but definitely not United.
He's talking about Benzema I think.
I stand corrected on that, then.
I'd take Higuain over Benzema, but that's probably just me.

Yeah that's true. It's just for that price Madrid quoted (40m), you'd expect to get Benzema instead of Higuain.
I think most United fans rate Higuain, but feels that he won't be our first choice, which is what Higuain's looking for.
Benzema > Higuain.
I'm sorry, but I can't help but laugh at how obsessed you are with "strategies" and "five year plans", like you're privy to them.
Well you can assume that clubs just blunder along making up stuff on the hoof or you can interpret their behaviour. It's fairly well documented that the new RM strategy is YEA - Young quality additions, Espagnol core, Academy. And that's what they appear to be doing in the market.I'm sorry, but I can't help but laugh at how obsessed you are with "strategies" and "five year plans", like you're privy to them.
Why the hell do you keep saying "Espagnol"? That's in fecking French. I know you're devoted to Wenger but that's taking it a bit too far.
I see what you mean. And yes ofc I was talking about Benzema
Reports in Italy that a 35m euro deal with Napoli was agreed.
Does your keyboard have an n with a tilde over it?
People would understand Espanol. I think the g is unnecessary.
YEA strategy? What the feck?
You like Man Utd's NAY better?
What does that stand for?
YEA strategy? What the feck?
He's making up stuff as usual. From the great 10yr strategy to the "YEA" one
This is all a bit silly but I have to say I disagree. Espanol sounds completely different whereas Espagnol sounds exactly like Español. I wouldn't put in the g myself but I think it's better than Espanol...
I misread it and thought it was about Italian pasta dishes you could purchase on the internet...
I'm actually a bit surprised that Arsenal haven't got an interest in Benzema so far. For me he's a superior player to Higuain and I think should be achievable.
I meant that people would read Espanol and go oh that's the Spanish club Español. I'm pretty sure everyone would. Typing an extra G is just wasting time none of us have.
No time for Y's either. There's pretty formations to make and Fabregas to sign.You mean Espanyol?
No young quality additions, Arsehole in charge, You better get ready for no trophies.
I quite like Arsenal's:
Cesc, ClichY et al, Au revoir
Cesc, ClichY et al, Au revoir
He's playing against Bournemouth today.
fecking hell, mine wasn't exactly master of wit and repartee but that's just shit.
Guess you know all about the last part.
Get ready to suck it up.
Hehehe.. knew you would like it, you bitter old git. Might not be Chaucer, but at least mine makes sense
Basically La Arse didn't want to cough up the money. I hope they don't think they can get Rooney on the cheap too. Especially when Higuain is going for that price.
Any truth to the reports of a €35m bid being accepted from Napoli?
He is a fantastic striker, really suprised he hasnt been snapped up yet
It's taking so long as he incredibly hard to value, similar to Chicarito. A clearly quality player, but doesn't play enough to demand the fee that he is worth to his current club. Until Napoli had a lot of cash to spend.
€37m rising to €40m for Higuain? Oh Rafa. Plus €22m for Albiol and Callejon.
I disagree. I don't think he's fantastic. Higuaín is overrated by many Real Madrid fans. A fantastic striker turns up for big games, something that Higuaín hasn't done yet on a consistent basis.
