If you say so. Just ally yourself with your other sauna buddies and keep hurling insults behind your keyboard oh mighty warrior. The Sauna brigade is all too powerful.
Yeah, because that's what I do all year right? I give approximately one insult per every 3 years or something. There was Maher and a few others, but you just earned yours.

Oh, and do study up on Huguain. You really are clueless.

As for Pogba, great player no doubt, but he's not the finished article and still has MUCH more to prove than Higuain.

Higuain is 28 by the way, I hope you get it right soon. And there will be at least 5 seasons of beasting.

He's not the better player in the slightest yet. He's not even close to consistent enough. Higuain was a far better player than Pogba is at 22 years old too.
Pogba at 22 had a 10 goals 15 assists season as a CM and scored in a CL knock out game (more than Higgy at same age ;)). hes a dominant CM both offensively and defensively and far more complete player. hes also a superstar already for a reason. Higuain is a top scorer for years but if you ask me which player id take at the same age, its Pogba 10 times out of 10, easily

I don't fucking care. We are talking about our key player and biggest marketing asset vs a guy who we just signed. You guys make it seem like we just signed the 2nd coming of Zidane or something ffs! All those goals he scored resulted in his country and club winning numerous titles, right? He was the main man @ Napoli last season. That much is true. I'd argue that Hamsik was more important for them the season before that, and he was never the focal point at Madrid. Granted he scores a lot, he is not a top tier superstar, whereas Pogba has the potential to be.
He is very obviously a top tier superstar now, after his last season.

And you don't care? That's funny. You seem to care.

Did Pogba lead us to titles on his own? Nope. Dybala was a more important player, as was Marchisio this season. Look how bad we were to start the season when Pogba was supposed to be our leader. We sucked balls, and he was just appalling.

that was down to numerous factors, lets not put it on Pogba failing to lead us

Higuain was a superstar at 22. Only an idiot would say otherwise. Perhaps the back injury the next season somewhat derailed his progress... but he's pretty clearly a superstar again now, at least on the pitch.

And PS. Pogba was 23 this season. The comparable season to Higuain's 2009-10 would be last season.

Higuain was injured for much of his 23 year old season in 2010-11 with back troubles.

I'd likely take Pogba over Higuain at these ages too, because I think his potential is higher... but he's done nowhere near what Higuain had done at the same age. Aside from being lucky enough to play on a winning team.

I think definitely have some points, but Ronaldo scored 60 goals that year and Benzema scored 32

Who is more important to us? Pogba or Hiugain? He is 28 going on 29. He will be 29 in 5 months.

Higuain's job is to score goals. His stats are indeed impressive, but you can't just justify buying a guy off one record setting season and paying him more than your established stars.
