Exactly.
Iirc even ronaldo got a bad comments cause "lesser form", despite the magnificent year before.
Higuain is suffering from getting a second class threatment, and the internal struggles. The play is optimised alot more for benzema then him. So offcourse thats not easy. If real wants to go on with fancy and flairfull players, capable of lone forwarding, yeah, higuain is not the player for you.
however, both capello and pellegrini showed how freaking good Higuain is in a two striker frontline.
Its a bit like marchisio suffering from the bad team morale, and beeing played left on the midfield under del neri. then conte comes, brings confidence in the team, plays marchisio in his natural position and BOOM, then rest is history
expect the same with higuain

Maybe those fans who have just jumped on the Real gravy train since Ronaldo penned for them.
This guy was clutch in securing them the league in '07-08, and single handedly carried them in '08-'09. I remember Huntelaar hardly getting a game that year as Higuain & Raul consigned his arse on the bench. Scored more league goals that Ronaldo in '09-'10 with 29, and bagged another 26 last year.
He may not be on the level of Suarez (My personal dream signing) or Ibra, but this guy will solve our biggest problem since 2011, which is the lack of a credible goal threat.

Having someone mentioned Capello, If I'm not mistaken, he has been advocating for Juve to sign Higuain for the past year or so on account of his skillset matching well with our style. I must have read about it last year or 2 years ago, but it should'nt be hard to find the articles on-line.
I'll take the opinion of one of World footballs most highly decorated, well respected and pragmatic Managers over the ramblings of the various third world goat herders with access to the internet.

I would'nt be suprised if Capello has a slight hand in this transfer as Beppe or Conte would definitely have approached the prune faced one for input regarding Higuain. This is a man after all who has coached the player and seen him at close quarters in games and in training.
