Well said. The following two seasons they went from 81pts to 86pts, and then from 86pts to 91pts (record for a 2nd placed team, beating Milans 88pts in 2006), both with Higuain gone. We helped them out big time by giving them money to improve the team further

team won it, like all the other years before and after higuain
The team wouldn't have won it without Higuain that season. Clear as day, he saved our ass time and time again.

Of course Napoi gained more points... Serie A was weakening and Sarri's impact growing... By that logic you should love a Dybala and Cristiano sale. That would give us many millions to 'improve the team'.

Just to reiterate we are not signing old players. This whole move to pirlo was to sign younger players, rejuvenate and start a new cycle. So all this lacazztte, dzeko etc is nonsense

Focussing on young players doesn't mean we'll suddenly not sign a single 'older' one...

They scored more goals and had more points next season without him.

One of the biggest flops ever. One good domestic season from him in 4 years. Yay
Why do you think they wouldn't have scored even more goals and points with Higuain or they scored more because Higuain, who was better than his replacement, left?

(Again, unless he was going to ruin his body and turn up fat for them too after that summer, but that's conjecture/hindsight)
