Higuain is World Class! And that is not up for a debate. Whether he will make it in Italy or not is something that no one knows and can not know until he actually plays here.
That term world class is really misunderstood. There are very few of those players who have the rare qualities of intelligence, temperament and talent. Just the fact that you're wondering whether he will make it or not in another league shows that he doesn't bring a guarantee.

But would you feel that way about guys like Ibra, CR, Messi, Tevez, Aguero, Eto'o in his day, Drogba, Robben, Falcao, Iniesta, Buffon, Pirlo?

Back in the day, Zizou was what world class was about. Things are a little more diluted today, but still.

Personally, I think Higuain is a good player, with good mobility and a first touch. A continental quality forward, but is he the player you would buy at all costs, if you knew you had his first and most natural position covered by someone on 4.5m wages, and you would be spending big despite limited resources? Is he good enough to warrant that? I would be inclined to say no. Just my two cents.

Imo IF we can bring in Higuain,fuck all the discussion about formations and tactics and just sign him.
BUT it will also mean that we better forget about Ibra and his wages and try to sign a SS ala Jojo.

I see no point in having Ibra,Llorente & Higuain.yeah it could be nice but we need at least 1 good SS.

so for me its either Ibra or Higuain + SS.

Great stuff.

I suggest you help pay for all this or sell your ass on the streets to help fund this fantasy of yours. It's one or the other SS/FWD not both.

Higuain is not world class IMO.
fuck higuain, we need one true champion Ibra or Cavani. That's all. No need to spend more money.
a player that has scored more goals in a single league season then falcao
a player that outscored ronaldo when played in a 2 man attack
a player that last year had a record 43% strike convertion into goal rate

yeah, that is not world class or a champion
Cavani is not even half as clinical


The same as llorente ? silly bitches please :lol: :lol: :lol:

Llorente is a slow targetstriker with technical ability, great with his back to the goal

Higuain is a deep striker, that has a very fast acceleration, is tall, can jump well, is exceptionally clinical, moves very good, and can skip last his defender.


Seriously, all them bitches who think Higuain isnt good, have never seen him play

Obviously you can't read because I never said he wasn't good.

My standards for world class must be higher than yours. Higuain could barely get a touch on the ball vs. Dortmund.

I would obviously take Higuain as my CF but he's not Falcao, Cavani, RVP territory IMO.

In the first leg match? Maybe. But the whole team under-performed. So its hard use that as an example.
