If there ever was a time to sell him, it's right now. However, I'm not a fan of this idea. We can't replace him, he's a sure 20 goal a season scorer, improved his CL record and also vital in our build up play. Playing with a false #9 is cool, but we don't have a goal scoring force on the wings or CM.
Like the last time he was with us ? :

What we'd have trouble replacing is Higuain in top form, when that guy is firing on all cylinders, his goals are deciding games we'd otherwise not win. Sadly, Higuain in top form was a rare sight, at least last season. Unless Dybala steps up and becomes consistent, we'd have problems in the large periods where he goes missing and Higuain usually steps up. But if we don't change, we'll never find out what Dybala can do as the main man.
The good old goal to minute ratio argument to justify Morata's failings year after year 
And we're making this comparison with perhaps Higuain's worst season in his career. Some rather crazy opinions here.
Anything to justify the Higuain hate i guess.

Like I said, this really revolves around Dybala not Morata, I don't think we'll see the best of Paolo playing together with Higuain, both need a strong supporting cast to succeed not each other.
Have you ever wondered why Morata plays less minutes in the first place ? Leaving all the stats aside ?
Its because he sulks during games, its because he doesnt work hard enough, misses easy sitters. This is why he was benched by Mandzukic here, couldnt displace a Benzema in his worst shape and now recently benched by Giroud at Chelsea.
You're debating the consistency of Higuain and Dybala and you suggest Morata could help fix that problem.....
He's had a favorable goal to minute ratio everywhere he's played. Its a rather flawed way of judging a player's consistency.

It is that different, 11 goals more despite this being Golzalos worst season says it all.
And don't tell me Morata would made up that difference if he played the extra 500 minutes. He doesn't because he can't. He went 4 months without scoring for us. And since you like to talk about recent season for Higauin, well what do you know, the pattern repeated itself, Morata barely didn't score anything in 2018 for Chelsea.

Because Allegri doesn't bench Higuain when he deserves to hit the bench for months. And I understand why he doesn't, Higuain in top form is a great player to have and you won't get him there by dooming him to the bench, dude is also a bit primadonnish. Look, I'm not debating Higuain is not a great striker, he clearly is, I'm just having fun at the "Higuain guarantees 20 goals" statements as if it was something amazing a spear striker scoring 20 goals in 50 games.

*1500. I think it's reasonable to expect Morata would get 8 goals or close to that and more assists in that period of time if he was treated like Higuain. And I'm not saying Morata deserves Higuain treatment, I'm just saying he would.

If we improve our midfield this season, Dybala and Costa will be able to play much closer to Higuain and goal, therefore Higuain will score around 30 goals, I am pretty sure. I am strongly against his sale, since he is vital to our build-up especially when we are under pressure and he is an established goal scorer.
Higuain's only weakness are aerial duels.

Who is gonna be our Go-man? Our current top scorer and game changer player.
And Paulo inconsistency? Yeah right, Pipa is the consistency queen now...
Our main player it would be Paulo. He would score way more if everyone play for him and he's better or at least same level in everything than Pipa except using right foot...
