Gonzalo Higuain

[BBF]

Haven't seen a ton of him but has always looked like a goofball when I have watched him play. Would rather money spend on Morata or Benzema to be honest.

But you like Gabriel? :confused::confused:

 

[MutableEarth]

Wouldn't say no. He knows where the goal is, one of the most versatile finishers in the game IMO, and is adept enough as an all-round player to supplement that, particularly when it comes to movement in the final 3rd.

Only concern is historically he isn't the man for the big occasion, but it is possible that can be mitigated.

There doesn't seem to be any link though so I doubt Higuain to Arsenal is a thing, not like 2013 anyway

I said no all those years ago but watching Giroud has trained me never to say no again. At this point anything with two legs that isn't named Giroud or Walcott gets my vote.

 

[Tricolore]

If he's available (which I doubt to be fair), we are not in position to say No, he's probably the best we can get this summer.

 

[Bananacoffee]

Wasn't impressed with him before this season. Looked fat and uninspired in all honesty.

However this year he's a different beast, I've watched a ton of Serie A and he's not only scored goals but also improved his overall game massively. Napoli are a good side, lots of talent and a good concept, think Higuain would fit in perfectly here.

Should be our top priority, however with the season he's had he can probably pick and choose to go wherever he wants.

I saw him live against Legia Warsaw last year. He only came for the last 10 minutes of the game or so but man, did he make his presence noticeable:

Should have got him when he left Madrid. How a player of that ilk, just hitting his prime, becomes available for a reasonable price and Wenger does nothing but sit back and watch him join a mediocre club like Napoli is simply another in a long line of sackable offences by le professor.

He was too busy losing a pissing contest with Liverpool over Suarez.

Sanogo it is.

 

[Rimaal]

He is gettable, we should be able to get him, but we won't be getting him for the obvious reasons.

 

[RandyMarsh]

If we're willing to pay big bucks, we can get him. I'd bet there are a number of other clubs willing to do this too. He's been a monster this year.

£50 mil (about 65mil euros) for Higuain, flog Giroud/Theo for 15 mil. Happy days.

It was just unfortunate timelines. By the time we had been told about the supposed Suarez release clause Higuain was already been completed.

Worst case scenario. He has two stand out seasons before age becoming a factor and falling to Giroud level numbers like RVP.

Actually the worst case is he flops completely….

am i alone here?

 

[Sykes]

Ship has sailed...Wenger messed up and now it's too late.

I would take him but would rather go big on PEA, if not Morata, in that order.

 

[nicky47]

I remember clear as day when we were strongly linked to Higuain and there were sooo many complaining about the price, his speed, calling him a bottler. Now it's Wenger's fault we didn't get him sooner, haha.

Anyway, he's had an amazing season, good on him. Can't see him leaving Napoli for some time now though.

And then spending more on Özil when all summer we targeted a centre forward. Another sackable offence.

because bringing in Özil was a huge mistake.

Is there a striker you do want?
