You could, but to say he's a headless chicken is whats laughable. This season he's developed into a very effective player.
Ok, I correct myself. He is an overrated headless chicken. And yes I have watched RM games, thats exactly why I think this. Just look at his performances against Barcelona and he was pathetic. If tampona Aquilani needs a tampax every game, this guy needs a PVC tube to stop the bleeding.

Watch games not youtube videos ;)
I've watched almost all Real Madrid games for the past 5 years or so. Forced to really.

Higuain is as clinical as they come. He's a goal scoring machine and the argument that anyone playing next to Ronaldo can score so easily is invalid if you really watch how this guy plays. His movement off he ball, alone, helps the entire front line of RM not mentioning how versatile he is. He scores all kinds of goals, was it a long range shot, through balls, headers or tap ins.

Definitely a WC striker.

I watch RM week in and week out, obliged too :D Altough like i said many time Higuain is a good player, he's nowhere near WC, He can score some goals, he has a nice touch, but he's not someone who would carry a team, who would score some goals out of the blue, or take 2/3 defenders and score, The comparaison to Trezeguet is unfair, David finishing is legendary, he'll score from half a chance, something Higuain won't do.
Another thing, Strikers these days have to offer more than just shooting at the goal ( especially in a one striker system like Juve plays) he should assist, dribble, drop down and build the play, something Higuain won't do.
Look at any team playing the 4-3-3 in the world and look what kind of strikers they are using.
I'll sound like hater but i'm not, I would love Higuain in Juve ( if Only we get a top RW) but he's overrated in this forums like every argentenian player.

Can't disagree more to be honest. It's like we're talking about different players!

The characteristics you've just mentioned belongs to CR/Messi type of a player. Higuain had assists, and as I said before, his off ball movement created a lot of goals for his teammates, just like Trezegol used to do. He scored goals out of the blue all the time, just remember the season when Schuster was the manager before Ronaldo joined the team to see how clinical he is without a super player next to him.

Having said that, I admit, El Pipita to me is what Dzeko is to Hustini and Giovinco is to Suns :D

I really, really hope he stop banging goals for RM and request a transfer. The only way we have a chance to sign him.

WC doesnt mean you have to beat 2-3 players, create something out of nothing, a striker doesnt have to do any of that shit, moreover i dont want my striker to drop back and build play that defeats the purpose of you know a striker. he needs to make runs and lurk around teh area and be a pest. Higuain's career is not over and he just might end up with better numbers and career than david, he is both more physically and techincally gifted than trez. And yes you;re a hater and your overrating of players of arab/african descent is worse.
