Can we close the thread now or shall we keep it open for GDeep's "Higuain is the worst player on earth" -trolling?

It would have been left alone had you not bumped it unnecessarily.

Don't know what you're talking about. I wanted Higuain, just not ahead of Suarez at 30M - and many on here were of the same opinion.

The other thing, I have for about 2 years said Higuain isn't an elite level striker and worth about 20M - so I don't see how it's trolling when when my opinions on Higuain not only go back long before AFC links, but are shared by a considerable amount of guys on here.

Can't let GDeep have the last say on this.

I like Higuain but don't think of him as close to being one of the elite strikers. His style isn't vastly different to Giroud either, unlike a Suarez or even a Jovetic who would've given us something different.

Doubt it mate, he struggles against Champions League level opposition.

higuain at £25m (real's original asking price) would have been a far better signing than the £50m we're going to blow on the uruguyan deviant.

this was a really sad thread. one that will haunt me for a long time.

Agreed that our original £23m would have been a great deal for Higuain (hence why it seemed to be Wenger's first choice), but Real got Euro signs in their eyes and shifted the asking price by about £9m, which no longer represented great value. Oh well.
