Jesus Christ, I mentioned Balotelli because he's the best striker available for free. He's not as good as Higuain OBVIOUSLY but is the difference 94M? That's my point. Higuain can't just be decent or good. He has to score goals, regularly, that other strikers can't score!
He can't miss even a couple sitters. He has to score almost every one. That would make him extraordinary. If he doesn't score great goals regularly, and he still misses sitters and PKs, then what is supposed to separate him from other strikers? Higuain used to be that striker. I was in favour of buying him from Napoli because you could not find that type of striker to score the goals he scored.
Otherwise sell him and sign some other decent striker that scores in the 6 yard box and put the plusvalenza in midfield. 16 goals in Serie A? Immobile 29. Icardi 28. Higuain finished with 7th most goals in the league. He never finished lower than 5th in his whole career in Italy.
One header against Inter inside the 6 yard box unmarked, is not a defense of him. Other strikers would score that. Benatia would score that.
First of all, please do not use God's name in such a trivial discussion.
As for the topic,
Do you live in some kind of a utopia? Name me a striker that doesn't miss sitters, even Messi (for example in CL 1/4 against us last season) and Ronaldo (first game in Turin this season when he could have scored like twice after it already was 3:0) do it. And I only mentioned potentially the best players in the history of the discipline.
Plus, you try to use Balotelli as an example who's been a failure everywhere he was except Nice in a Mickey Mouse League where as long as they're not relegated all is good. Now compare him to Higuain who's been scoring both in LaLiga and Serie A REGULARLY. I believe Balotelli most successful season speaking of the goals he scored is equal to Higuan's worst.
Why your perspective is so narrow? How many strikers lost their shooting shoes after a big money move? Owen, Falcao, Torres, Ibrahimovic, Morata, Balotelli, Diego Costa (I only mentioned moves between top clubs. If I were to include big money moves for players with "potential" that failed, the list would be 10x longer at least). Whereas Higuain kept scoring wherever he went and there isn't a slightest indicator that he is going to stop. Yet you make it sound like it's as simple as pay for what a given player is currently worth and it is CERTAIN that he will keep his level in the new environment.
Comparing numbers of players like Immobile or Icardi is also silly. What is the 2nd best scorer of Lazio and Inter and what is the number? SMS (12) and L. Alberto (11) in Lazio and Perisic (11), Skriniar, Brozovic (4) at Inter. While at Juve you have Dybala with 22 and Khedira with 9. Not to mention both Icardi and Immobile are PK takers and Icardi has only one assist and Immobile is a proven choker at not even top but decent clubs so you can be sure he'd be a failure at Juve but it doesn't matter right? Or maybe the fact that in top teams the responsibility of scoring goals is shared among bigger number of players is also irrelevant? Is Dybala already better than Del Piero because he scored more this season in the league than Alex ever did? Mind you that, according to you, we also play 442 now. Is Dybala more profilic than Trezeguet because Trezeguet never scored as many goals in the league?
If I were to cherry pick arguments like you did in this discussion I could prove any point I could only imagine. Widen the horizons my friend.
