^^ I'll have you know I'm not more than 4/5ths as querulous as that old codger.
Are you suggesting it isn't likely that Higuain would've picked up 20+ league goals at Arsenal last season?
We could've had him starting and Giroud off the bench instead of Giroud starting and nothing off the bench.
As for the "strawman", well, Higuain's one of Europe's most consistently productive strikers. He's going to cost 30m just like any of the others. I suspect we'll all be shocked by the fees that change hands for that type of player this summer.
I can't really understand why you wouldn't have been keen for us to sign another decent striker at just about any price last summer. We led the league until January despite being well short in the forward positions.
Our results aren't just an intricate resource optimisation / project management exercise you know. There's also the issue of winning football competitions.
