Higuain is the perfect striker we need, Torres apart.. he is the one. I'd pick him over Benzema if we had the choice.
Gonzalo Higuain
- Thread starter Hellboy
- Start date
This could be one of the signings of the summer. And knowing Madrid they will let him go fairly cheaply.
But after our past experience with players from Argentina, do we want one more?

I had a strange vision as I stared into a puddle on the ground this morning and it was that Higuain is on his bike at Real because they want Villa to be their main striker while they can give Benzema another year or two to adjust. They simply know that Benzema is a bigger talent than Higuain so that is why they are happy to flog him! He will end up at City and we have no chance of getting him due to the wages City or Chelsea will offer!! He aint coming here so we should all stop the wankathon for now. Luis Fabiano is a more realistic target!
to be honest, i'd pick pato over higuain. but higuain is up there for sure.
I'd prefer someone with real pace. Not only would it suit our team because it will open up spaces in midfield and help us in counters but also strikers with pace do really well in the premier league. Most of the better strikers have good pace. Drogba, Anelka, Torres, Rooney, Van Persie, Bent, Defoe etc
Diouf.
Really? Diouf? From whatever he has shown of himself, he doesn't nearly look like a United striker. Not as yet at least.
if we're going to sign established players then it will be after Chelsea and City have done their shopping.
Madrid taking a sensible decision
Does Luis Fabiano have good pace? he is a fantastic finsher though!
I cant see him leave Madrid
they would be idiotic to let him go
I'd take him over Benzema any day...he's a bit selfish at times, but I think that's just because he wanted to prove himself at Madrid and perhaps felt the only way to do it was to shoot whenever he had the chance.
If it was a choice between him and any other forward (Benzema, Aguerro, Pato), I'd pick Gonzalo.

In Spain.
And I meant in general on an average strikers with good pace have more chances of succeeding.
Crazy Diego is pure gold, no matter how Argentina play he will be one of the highlights of the World Cup.
Real won't offer Higuain a new contract
As mad as that fee sounds, city may just pay that for him. It may also explain their interest in Dzeko. Especially if Raul leaves. If he does leave for a mamoth fee to a club like city, you could see another massive spending spree coming up for Real.
Edit:Could a mod please edit the title. Messed it up by putting "in". Thanks in advance.

£60Mill? Silly season.
Typical Madrid. Marginalizing a player because he wasn't bought by the current president.
The scary thing is, city being as desperate as they are to land some names, would pay that.
Oh of course. Would do a job too.
Madrid can't afford another spree like last summer. Obviously they have more cash than most but I doubt you'll see nine figures net being spent again.
City can pay that if they like. We can't.
Nowhere in the article does it say he wont be offered a new contract??? It simply says they have not offered one yet.
It's a nothing story.

He'd a do a job anywhere in fairness, he's immense, not 60million immense, but immense.
In a world when £80m buys you Ronaldo, £60m buys you Kaka and £60m buys you Zlatan, then £60m for Higuain is about right.
Not when Villa went for 35m
Madrid are a bit like us when it comes to selling, never getting proper value
I can see him going for around 25m of which we should definitely pay!
Yeah the Villa fee was a bit strange.
There's no chance Higuain would go for £25m. He's one of the best strikers in the world, and he's not long turned 22!!
It seemed that with Higuain Perez wants big money. He's said before that if Higuain can't accept their terms (which were absolutely pathetic by the way, a joke of a contract offer they made a few months back), he'd sell because there had been big offers for Higuain on the table. Most think those are from city.
Yeah but they are all vastly overpriced anyway. This could turn into a digression, but if the market continues in this state of inflation we won't be seeing signings of players of Higuains ilk for a long time.
This is nothing more than speculation from Maradona, nothing from the club at all.
Having said that if he goes to city I'll not be happy.

A player is worth what a club is willing to spend. The rich clubs are throwing mega money at the big name players. Overpriced, yeah. But that's the way it is now.
Also, we never really spend big money on 'big' names in world football. Who was the last? Veron?
We were all pissed when City signed Robinho from Real and look how that turned out.
Chelsea might be another possible destination
I don't blame Madrid for wanting rid, frankly. He's the very definition of a flat-track bully. He'll score goals galore against shit teams, but in all the games where it really mattered last season (the two games against Barcelona, the Champion's League knockout stages) he was utterly, utterly useless, as if he'd forgotten how to play football. He must have missed three open goals against Lyon.
You can't have a player who lacks that much bottle at a big club.

Pathetic club. Higuain is a great and talented player, who works well within Real's team and has already proved his worth. Getting rid of a player because he's not Galactico enough is something only Spanish clubs can pull off.
He's only 22, the same accusation was leveled at Ronaldo as well. It's stupid. He's an exceptional talent.
Nah, Ronaldo was accused of not turning up, but Higauin actually becomes a worse player. He misses open goals, fecks up his touches, falls over. He shits himself on the big stage, which is why he'll never truly make it at a big club. He'll end up at City, where he'll go the way of Robinho.
United perhaps had a chance when they sold Ronaldo to Real - we could have involved Higuain in the deal. I very much doubt if we are in the bidding this time if he is sold.
That will most likely fade away with experience on the big stage. Ronaldo was accused of playing below his level as well, letting the stage get the better of him, we all know what a load of tosh that turned out to be.
Higuain's got three years left on his contract and (in response to fan pressure as much as anything) Madrid say they are going to negotiate. Maradona likes winding up Valdano So unless he's on Mourinho's unwanted list (which would be surprising) the headline doesn't really match the story.
