Gonzalo Higuaín (65 Viewers)

[zizinho]

So you willing to reshuffle a team that was very close this year to going the distance in CL because you are worried about financial loss? Sorry that doesn't make sense imo especially since we brought him here for that very reason.
as for the sporting side, that's purely wishful thinking fueled by bias toward each player.

Higuain has scored 16 goals in Serie A, and was a non factor in other aspects of the game in almost every game (exception being the Milan away game, and maybe 1-2 others im forgetting at the moment). you really think it will be impossible to replace that kind of contribution? we won Serie A before with Morata scoring 7 league goals, i shall remind you. i congratulated him on the Tottenham tie (even though his 2 misses in the 1st leg almost cost us), that was his major contribution this season. then you see a allegedly inferior player in Dzeko CARRYING an inferior team on his back against Shakhtar, Barcelona and Liverpool (should have won that tie, refs fucked them), and it makes you wonder if our 90M striker is really that special

This is simple.

You dont sell a player you trust. Thats why The board and Allegri are locking Dybala.

Higuain is not trusted by someone. Named it Allegri mainly, or the board. So he is on the sell list.

Also, like some have mentioned, if the board is willing to cash on him and invest in someone else or in the midfield, now is the last chance because of his age.

I repeat, if he is being put on the transfer list , is because juventus doesnt trust in him anymore and want to recoup some money.

i was responding to you last sentence about this being wishful thinking from me.

but fine, yes, im willing to reshuffle said team (not ONLY for financial reasons), because ive seen it not function properly. we bought Higuain to deliver the CL, but he has been a non factor in 5 games against Real and Barcelona in 2 years now. also, Dybala-Higuain partnership doesent work (or you disagree about that?), and im not willing to sacrifice the younger and better player for the team to reach the next level. we might not be able to bring in a major midfield reinforcement without sacrificing someone, and Higuain makes way more sense to me than Dybala or Alex Sandro for said reason

If you can trade Higuain and a couple mil for a Icardi you take that and you fucking run. He may be a pos human being but in terms of being a pure goalscorer and having that killer instinct he’s only behind Suarez and Ronaldo imo.

 

[da_ledgeaun]

I hate Icardi, absolute disgraceful player, but as an opposition, now if he were to come and replace Higgy for us. That is an absolute must deal.
Still think its BS, and if thats the case, and we cant get a better finisher than Morata, then I say keep Higgy. The other no.9's would be too expensive..

 

[Mike-e-y]

I really don’t see a huge value in selling Higuain. The money we get IF we sell him won’t allow us to replace him... €50m in today’s market would struggle to buy a decent player.

I agree he’s not an essential component and has had a poor season, but his poor season (20+ goals) is still difficult to find. He is clearly in decline though...

If Morata is his replacement it’d worry me. Icardi is the ideal (despite the fact he is a cunt), followed by Martial who I believe is better as a striker than on the wing and I wouldn’t mind a punt on Giovanni Simeone if we could get him at a reasonable value

Would you do Higuain and cash for Icardi?

Would you do Higuain and cash for Icardi?

My take is don't rock the boat, we have what it takes to win now, and at don't need to gamble, all we need is a great cm, a rb and a few bench options, i honestly don't see how getting icardi helps us win cl next year.

Fair

Judging by the amount of minutes Higuain gets this season (https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/87/Show/Italy-Juventus), I think Allegri trusts him 100%.

The only thing that could worry me in regards to a Higuain sale (I think we can replace his footballing qualities and become a better team without him) is that we've already lost a few personalities from the squad; will losing Miss Piggy create another space to fill in the changing room?

Saying goodbye to Buffon, Licht, Miss Piggy is soemthing we can handle, but Manbro, Khedira, Marchisio, Barzagli (he's staying), Pjanic leaving? That'd be too much.

Now if we sell Miss Piggy I wouldn't splash a huge amount on a forward, but rather focus on getting a physical midfielder, that could support Dybala as a no.9 and our wingers. Milinkovic-Savic would be ideal, but who else is out there with similar characteristics? Fellaini is free

Nedved to Sky Italia "We are not worried about a potential departure of Higuain. Let's see what will happen after the World Cup. The club must satisfy a player & not restrain him, he must be happy to put on the club's jersey. We should decide together."

Sounds like he's gone huh

all valid reasons, the last one doesent seem true though

 

[Buck Fuddy]

And we have always suffered without a wc 9, it's really sad that you hate higuain so much you wanna change our whole system just to sell him.

You could say that we suffer with Higuain as a 9 as well.

This a 100 times.

Also I think Higuain will become a lot better with decent midfield players. Right he is being wasted with all this tracking back.

Isn't the bolded part about Manbro?

 

[Xperd]

He just doesnt suit this Juventus system IMO. He's succeeded inspite of that. Some of our football is similar to Atletico Madrid, so in that regard, we'd need strong, physical strikers standing their own against tough defenders and one who's great at hold up play and at bringing headers down. If Higuain had any of these qualities, we wouldnt be deploying Mandzukic as a LW for so long and have actual wingers playing in that position.

Rarely instrumental in the CL lol.

I love how people make up fake reasons to justify blatant falsehoods.

Loving the revisionism here

but at juve there's also the balance sheet. higuain is 31, and still has a long contract and a very high salary. if we can sell him now around his book value (which is ~54m), i guess it's reasonable to consider that option too.

 

[Xperd]

Replacing him with Morata is unreasonable on the other hand. Icardi is a different story but also probably a virtually impossible mission.
