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

I do have the option to disagree here, right? In fact, I don't see your judgment of the situation at all. I am actually of the opinion that we always knew that Jovetic was on the mercato this term, after the issues last season. That possibility was always going to exist, and we were prepared to make a go at it. Knowing full well that his tag is 30m, it could be argued we'd try to get away with counterparts. And yes, if a possibility like Tevez arose, exactly like it has, we know it would be a failure to miss out.
I am in complete disagreement that Llorente would be the only signing in attack. It would in fact be interesting to see Llorente on the mercato with a 20m price tag. We'd probably know then that he wouldn't be a striker we would spend our money on, compared to who else is on the market today. My impression and reading is, that we will try and close one of Tevez and Jojo for sure, in part, because of the money saved on the Llorente transfer, maybe even both of we can sell well. Time will tell..
And we haven't bought him yet because he is rated at 30m. Also his wages in Madrid are much lower than what we can offer if we give him the highest we can afford - which is what made him affordable in the first place - theoretically.
We're chasing: Jovetic, Higuain & Tevez (if he takes a drastic paycut, the only way this is going to happen). All players who we hope to purchase for a value of 22-24m. There's a reason we're not going after Lewandowski, Ibrahimovic, Falcao and Rooney. This is the reason I said beggars can't be choosers, we have three targets who can theoretically be acquired for the funds we have available - if any of those three sign Conte will have to mold the team to work after the target.
His wages in Madrid were much lower than what we could afford? To the best of my knowledge we were giving him an increase of 1m plus bonuses, which would make him earn about 5m plus bonuses here.
I just don't know how people can come to the conclusion that we are willing to spend between 22-24m on a player. Where did you get that? Because we offered 22m for Higuain?? You do realize that there is a possibility that we don't rate Higuain as a 30m euro transfer? I love all your excuses when it comes to defending Beppe but the truth of the matter is that you are not any closer to the truth than anyone here, so please stop sounding like you are with such definite figures.
