I am surprised Chelsea didn't move for him.

I am surprised Chelsea didn't move for him.

I am not, Mourinho benched him all the time when he was at Real.

I don't think their attack is better than what it was with Cavani, even with higgy. It would be a great signing for them though and quite hilarious that Arsenal would still miss out.

He won't and can't replace Cavani adequately. But he's still a great striker and will bag a few goals for them. Sux 2 b an ArseAnal fan when you're even losing out on players to fucking Napoli LOLZ. Great signing for Serie A too, this season is shaping up to be great.

Yeah, Mourinho wants to play with one striker and requires that striker to fall deep, wide, etc. and play in the attacking midfielders often. His latest quotes regarding Lukaku confirm this even more if one was in doubt after seeing him use Benzema at Real.

Higuain probably needs a strike partner and to stay around the box in order to really excel. He's also not really a €40M player, holy shit, they're getting jerked around.

Also, will be interesting to see how the Napoli players cope with a change in system. I find it hard to see Rafa continue with the super direct counter attacking style Mazzari used.

In terms of goals he'll do the same as Cavani, both are 30 goal strikers but overall Cavani is the better player.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

I don't think Higuain is a 30 goal a season striker. And he doesn't offer anywhere near the same workrate/defensive protection of Cavani.

 

[Deep C]

I think Higuain is most defo a 30/season striker but he requires a completely different setup than what Napoli had last season. He's not a tassie devil like Cavani - he needs to be consistently played in by either a strike partner or two inside forwards pushed high up. Will be interesting to see how Benitez plays him.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

He went from getting service from CR7, Ozil, Di Maria, Kaka etc now to Callejon, Mertens, Hamsik and Insigne. Bit of a difference too. Still love him though, even if he does play for the tip rats.

 

[Tommy]

Ain't happening.

That's arguable.

 

[Catenaccio]

Would be great for the league. League loses Jovetic and Cavani - gains Tevez, Llorente, Higuain, Honda, Gomez.

Its good for Juve if the whole league lifts in quality - leads to better TV rights etc.

 

[Völler]

That's arguable.

I hope you are referring to the first and not the second statement.

I hope you are referring to the first and not the second statement.

I'd be surprised if anyone thinks Higuain is the better player of the two.

 

[da_ledgeaun]

is he finally moving to garbage town?

 

[Cheesio]

Suits him. Garbage player for a garbage team.

Would be interesting to see if Zacheryah will stil suppots him now ?

 

[Nzoric]

Napoli are title contenders if this move happens. Fuck.

Napoli are title contenders if this move happens. Fuck.

Cavani > Higuain imo, they'll compete with Fiorentina for 3rd spot and nothing more I reckon

There are too many other factors than just comparing Cavani to Higuain. Cavani gathered many points for Napoli singlehandedly and I am not sure Higuain can do the same but with a new coach and system maybe this becomes unnecessary (to rely on one player at certain times).
