Gonzalo Higuaín - CF - Napoli (201 Viewers)

[Zacheryah]

Does Higuain improve us? Yes or no?

When everyone is fit, with Higuain we got world class or close in every line of the field.


If the question is "does Higuain improve us with Pogba leaving", thats something else.

But why? Why you so mean?

I'm not banning you. How is that mean. You should be making me coffee every morning.

 

[Zacheryah]

Buy James/Sanchez and Rakitic

See, thats why Higuain was a better idea

 

[Osman]

Higuain will command about 160 mil thats about 15% of juve value, with a residual value of about 0, say he tears his acl turns into a fatty and never goes back to WC level? Higuain is a monster no doubt but if that price scared even richer teams, can juve successfully manage a worst case scenario financially?

He has no resale value, but has he ever had injury issues? Even a little? Only remember a season for Real he was on and off health wise. But otherwise all deals are risk injury wise, this one is just much higher stake. Question is tho of this is realistic fear.


Only thing I care about is keeping Pogba, if we stupidly overpay for Gonzalo while doing that I'm fine with it.

I can never take you seriously sorry, I really like you as a person but you have some split personality disorder

 

[Itay]

BTW if we get Rakitic on top of Higuain it will be a dream mercato... fuck Pogba.

I don't think they would take that risk if they couldn't handle it, I'm sure it would be standard to evaluate risk in such a decision

It's not as mechanic as you think, more poker like in these situations

One word: Asamoah

If Pogba goes, he will most probably...a 100% healthy Asamoah is crucial + we still need to find a TOP mid. He will never be better than Paul but I'm curious to see who we'll buy. Who would you go for?

Pogba is still a juve player, you will show him respect

Im pretty sure there is some weird insurance/re-insurance/re-re-insurance option in place for smthg like this happening.

What if we buy Higuain, he stays 2 years, we win CL (twice maybe), and goes to China for 100M



Not gonna happen tho

And I think he will stay that way. If the clause was 1 payment, then I would be worried.

But 2 payments is much more feasible, and with the projected sale of Zaza, our net spend wouldn't actually be too bad right now, considering the quality we have added.

On a sporting level, I can't see any reason why Pogba would sit back and say that this club is now not ready to make a serious run at the CL.

Still love me even though you think I'm a moron?


Just so you know. The only transfer fallout that I ever complained about in regards to money was Verratti.

The moment when you sign Higuain and Pogba stays: 10/10 mercato

All our strength all these years has emanated from midfield, that has carried our attack for all these years of success that we have had. Losing Pogna, a year after losing Vidal, has a detrimental effect, largely because of the attacking impetus we lose in his absence. Khedira is half broken, Marchisio will not be returning before November-December, it's effectively Pjanic and whoever we get now to replace Pogba with, but bug shoes to fill and most likely the shoes won't be filled in the same manner. We are probably going to adapt our style of play in his absence. I can only hope somebody like Asa can step up to the plate, because I just don't see too many external options that we can buy that will salvage the midfield in a way that keeps it as one of top midfield in Europe. Mascherano might help but it seems unlikely we might get him, Rakitic will be underwhelming. Herrera is what I'd like.

 

[Nicholas]

I'd take Mascherano short term.

 

[Marc]

Dybala-Higuain is potentially the best attacking duo in the world though. Better than Del Piero-Trezeguet.
