ADL would have hold onto him, then regret not taking 90M in 1-2 years, like Cairo with Belotti

Just watched Argentina beat Haiti 4-0. Not much competition but Higgy started and played about 60 minutes. Goalie made great save to deny him a goal early on and good pass toward the net lead to Messi's 2nd goal.
Still looked a little slow with that fast paced type unit and when Aguero (who scored 4th goal) came on he seemed to be more of a spark for the team, though by that time Haiti looked completely exhausted. Shot difference of 21 (11 on net) to Haiti's 1 (0 on net) tells how much of a practice match this was for Messi and Co.

This doesn't look like a move that would secure funds for Bonaventuras of the world. Looks like a setup for Morata.
He's 30, soon 31, so this is probably the last chance to get some money back. When we signed him, I was 100% sure he'd stay here for the duration of his contract and end up as 32y old sub for Kean.
Now there are reports that we are willing to sell, some even say we might swap him for Icardi, but that sounds like complete BS, fabricated shit so he can get a new deal there.
Now, would you guys replace Higuain (30) with Morata (25)?
Right now, I would say no, but that might change in a year or two. Then again, next year we'd probably get 25-30 for him.
Tough call.

it doesent matter, because we wont be replacing him 1 for 1. who replaced him at Napoli? Milik who got injured early in the season. the outcome? they play Mertens as a false 9, score 14 more goals, and win 4 more points, than they did in Higuains 36 goals season. we would still be creating chances, just not for him but other players
hes on 7.5M net wages as well, so if we free that much up, it will probably go to a star player and not some jabronis (we can sign those without "sacrificing" Higgy). either way, this feels like the right time to sell. his decline is visible and he could still be worth 50M+. we need to take advantage of that
Not going by soccer guys on BeIN sports after Argentina match tonight. I think we should not be as down on the quality of the top end Serie clubs.

Morata is the main reason chelsea failed so hard, we were very close this year what let us down wasn't our forward line it was our poor quality mid made of scraps, with pjanic being the exception, we should concentrate 100% on getting quality in our midfield and a RB, since in all likelihood next year is the last opportunity for this group to win something big. No more tinkering and weakening an area to improve another.
problem is, i dont see losing Higuain as weakening at all, so i cant agree there.
but even if we put aside me liking Morata and not liking Higuain as a player, liking Morata and not liking Higuain as a fit on the team and next to Dybala, consider this. Higuain is in obvious decline. he will never be better than he is currently and he will never be worth more money than he is currently. shouldnt that be the time to cash in on your 90M/7.5M a year wages investment, when the next opportunity could likely be us generating a loss? Morata is 25 and on his all time low, he will likely keep his value for the next 3-4 years and possibly even improve it in an environment hes familiar with. from a pure financial standpoint, Morata for Higuain makes perfect sense, and imo, from a sporting one as well.
note: i used Morata since hes the name being thrown around the most. id make the same argument for some other players as well, who we are either not linked with or are less likely joining us

it was a trick question for GDC
but i like Morata more as a fit next to Dybala and Costa than i do with Higuain.

without even blinking. thats too good of a deal to pass on

as for the sporting side, that's purely wishful thinking fueled by bias toward each player.
