So what do you guys think after a year? Was it a wrong transfer?
compared to tevez a couple of years ago, their price/performance ratio couldn't be more different
on a more serious note, higgy delivers in the championship and chokes in finals, just as expected. he's hard working, i have no issues with his mentality, and he never lost it on the pitch, as he regularly did when he played for nipples. he's a very good striker, he's got that killer instinct in front of goal, uses tight spaces very well, but he's mostly useless from outside the box, too slow for counters, bad with one-on-one situations, and too hesitant when he's got time to think. still, one of our key players obviously. and he was fucking expensive, of course.
we payed ~110m for him, rincon and lemina; i'd be happier to have morata and fabinho from the same amount. but that's on beppe, i don't blame piggy for our transfer strategy.
if tevez was a 9,5/10 buy (probably the best one from beppe, along with pirlo and vidal), then piggy's first year is a 7,5/10 for me. if beppe brings in some more effective wingers and we manage to keep sandy (which is unlikely), higgy might have an even better year.
