Wut?!?!?!
There are so many holes in that argument I am not even sure where to begin
Higuain is a fine player for a certain level of expectations. What he has never been, is not and will never be, however, is a leader i.e. a player for the big scene, the big games.
The whole reason why Juve paid those moneys for a 29 yo player was namely those big-stage moments, so not entirely sure what makes you consider that transfer an example of Juve/Marotta hitting the mark.

It will be very interesting to see how he'll fare at Milan. It may work out really well, it may end up being a total fiasco. Or somewhere inbetween.
This is true for most players of course, and we're taking a gamble with Berna as well. But some players in football offer certain guarantees, and in my opinion - and this is why I brought up Higuain as an example - he is one of them. You just know that you're getting tons of goals.
As for Higuain being brought in for the "big-stage moments", I believe that was more of a fan expectation than a calculation by the club. He has choked so many times during big moments that I don't think the club looked to him as the one to step up in such occasions. I'm sure there was hope that he would, but I'm positive that the main reason he was brought in was to be a goal guarantor season after season across all tournaments (particularly in the Serie-A).
Let him enjoy it until they get a transfer ban...or worse. 
Dont think anything will happen to them this year, but those Chinese money wouldnt be there forever that's for sure.
