I like the players that perform even though they're fat. It means they obviously have something else inside. Like how Vidal is drunk during matches but still runs twice as much as anyone else.

Today I learned Suarez is not a striker.

The thing to consider regarding market efficiency is that it gets harder as you get closer to the top. The problem with targeting the CL is that you need the most talented players. The CL trophy doesn't care how you acquired them. Going from the CL Final 8 to the CL Champion is a lot harder...

The criticism of Higuain or really any #9, in isolated situations like "Europe", is always going to be silly. It's mostly team dependent. How many scoring chances can you generate for the striker. How much opportunity does he have? If you show me a Youtube click of Higuain missing 3 sitters in...

No I just can't believe it still. In this market, Higuain is surely worth 60M but 94M is outlandish. It has to be said that based on his performance last year, you would be hard pressed to find a comparable alternative. You're looking at the Lewandowski or Aguero class. Just don't let...

Still the thought of paying 94M hasn't entered my mind.

Discussing the merits of spending 94M on Higuain is one thing but discussing his goal scoring prowess is another. He scored 46% of Napoli's goals.

What the hell. Then we will just wait until it expires. And they'll be fucked because Higuain is the type of guy to sit out.

What if we are threatening to pay the clause right before the window ends which prohibits them from finding a replacement and then they will miss CL.

I think if we got Higuain it would signal that Pogba is staying for sure. It's an all-in type move that only makes sense if you are keeping a competitive team behind him. To simply switch Pogba with Higuain is nonsensical I think. However, the plan could be to bring Higuain for an all out...

stop it

No one is going to pay Higuain's release clause. The only issue is whether ADL will have too much pride to sell below 94M and would rather lose him on a free in a couple years. I think most likely someone can buy him for 60M.

Would not be a proper summer mercato without one of these.
