That does seem to be the case. It also helps that he's not Italian.

It's ok. It shows you're a sensible guy.

And yet you'd make him the 2nd highest earner on the squad. :D

I'm not going to answer this question again, since I already did yesterday. In this very thread. As for this being preemptive so I can defend Marotta: absolutely! Thing is, I won't cry & bitch if he comes and I won't cry & bitch if he doesn't come.

Tsss. I'm in camp 3. In awe of him as a player (still), but annoyed at all the fuss that comes with him. Imo, he's the prime example of a player Juve should only get if it's (to use B81's words) a complete steal. But I don't consider the numbers floating around right now to be steal.

Absolutely. We'll never know anyway. (Just like we'll never sign Tevez :D) Well yeah, if you only look at the positive side, it is a steal. If you take everything else into account (correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe those 3 points I mentioned are basically facts), it's definitely not.

There's absolutely no reason to think the "we" (as in the club) has a hard on for Higuain. Unless you're confusing the club with the fans. Come on, just admit that this makes a lot of sense :D : That's the complete opposite of a steal. You're talking about a player who desperately wants...

Guess that makes the Llorente deal an easy one as well? Even if, at the time, your posts pointed in the opposite direction. There's more where that came from. A lot more.

Yeah. I was actually convinced he'd be the only signing in attack (not taking into account potential youngsters), except if the possibility to sign Jovetic arose. Can't shake the feeling that that was the plan from day 1. And it's something that I still believe to be true today. Imo, the Tevez...

Funny thing is: 6 or more months ago, people would have been fine with it, some even ecstatic. Now, not so much.

So, just the usual? :D

You'll have to buy me dinner first!

But you still wouldn't know. Regardless of where Higuain ends up, there will be no way to "know" what exactly happened. It's all rumours & hearsay. On a sidenote: don't forget what I told you weeks/months ago. In the end, it's going to be Jovetic who joins us :D

Nah, that's the beauty of it: we'll never know or see :D

I think you mean bad rumours instead of bad news :D Edit: though I have to say the part about Tevez sounds very credible. Because I had been thinking along those lines myself basically :D

Depends on the financial side of things. As for the names that are being mentioned all the time: I'd really, really like to see Jovetic with us, but only for a reasonable price. Not sure what to think of Higuain. Since I barely ever see him play, I can't really comment much. But again, I...

I'm not saying there will definitely be issues though. But given his not so stellar track record, it's definitely a possibility you have to take into account.

People don't really care about any of that stuff right now. As long as a big name arrives, it's all good. If similar situations arise while he's at Juve, that's when the bitching will start. And those who were the most vocal about us "needing" to sign Tevez, will most likely be the most vocal...

Here's the thing, early on last summer Marotta literally said that we were no longer in the race for RVP. Same thing happened with Aguëro. Yet people choose to deny that & instead believe that we keep trying for the rest of the summer (helped by endless stories in the media that are based on...

But why are you talking about 3 or 5 years in the future, when you're complaining NOW. Don't you see how silly that is?
