Always preferred Tevez as a player, love his style. And his 14/15 season with us was legendary. If only we won the Tripletta
Higuain is probably a better finisher though.
He's definitely a better finisher, but that is sometimes an underrated part of Tevez's game. He scores goals that Higuain couldn't, and does work that he couldn't do, but that instinct and ability for all different types of finishes is not very common. Weird how Higuain turned into this kind of classic #9. He's not useless as a build up player, far from it, but in those earlier days he was more involved further away from goal.
If you look at the seasons in Europe Higuain has had where he has played more than 40 games he has scored more than 20 goals in 6/7 of them, and this will be 7/8. In his final year in Madrid he scored 18. For them he was a 1 in 2 scorer in a team where he initially shared the responsibility with Raúl and then also Van Nistelrooy, and then with the ridiculous Ronaldo and also Benzema.
As the main man for Napoli and so far with Juve he's been a 1 in 1.5 scorer. He's also a 1 in 2 international scorer, which is as good as any current player (including the likes of Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez and Lewandowski).
