City's strategy: "Ok, we suck at this football thing. But OK, let's check out the transfer plans of someone who really knows their stuff, every summer. Juventus, for instance. And we take whoever they're interested in."
Anyway, Higauin will join a club in CL, so you might be right, that it won't be Chelsea. I still prefere Cavani to Higuain, BUT that said, I would be very very happy if the Argentine joined us.
