I'd definitely take him here but that link looks as houseboat as it gets

Don't know why Arsenal fans seem so mad at him, wasn't his fault the move didn't materialise, was beyond embarrassing when he was booed at the Emirates.

Yeah, Higuain had nothing to do with it. He would probably be here if Real hadn't bumped up the price by 10 mil after the price has been agreed on.

I'd still take him, but for 20 mil max.

Anywhere between 30-40M and we should be all over it.

I'd pay 10M alone on the fact to see something different than Giroud, and Higuain is exactly that and more. A quality player who'd improve us immensely just by his presence and style of play.

Complete houseboat link but would walk into our first eleven.

On second thought. I'd only take him on a free.

Giroud showed for those three months after he came back that he's good enough to lead the line for us anyway.

Theory: Giroud needs more service from wide and has suffered since we put Ramsey on the right.

Still think Higuaín would be an excellent signing. Cash in on a couple of spares (Podolski, Campbell) and get him in. He scores.

Yes please. As proven a goal scorer as you can get.

Im not mad at Higuain personally and i find it hilarious that some people (for some weird reason) are. The booing at the Emirates Cup was idiotic.

That said - i have never been fully convinced he is the type of player we need and i think he would be utterly mediocre for us. His traits are not suitable for us and i think he would genuinely find it hard to adapt his game for the PL.

Now, with all of that being said - i would have taken him and would take him for about £20m-£25m (as was reported), but not more than that as at a higher price range there would be more useful forwards available for us.

But which forwards would that be?

I think we can all agree on someone like Benzema, but it's highly unlikely that he'll be available, so far at least.

Around 30M isn't even that much in todays market, especially when you consider that we easily could spend 100M overall.

I think we'd be mad to go into another season with Giroud as the main striker, and the thought of it makes me sick. Not because of I don't consider Giroud a good player, but more the way we play with him up front with him being super slow. Higuain has immense movement, decent pace and his runs off the defenders are great.

Kike is saying we're going for the Benz!

@Arsenal The Wenger's first option for the forward is Benzema. Benítez wants him in his #RealMadrid? The summer will be very long. #Arsenal

Now that's the quality (and the type of player, skill set wise) we need.

I hear you all saying £20-25m max, but there is no more £20-25m for established stars, you're talking about the market of two years ago.

Would be an unreal signing, time for Benz to step out of the shadow of C.Ronaldo and become the main man at a club

I wouldn't be going for him until we'd missed out on a few better players.

The kind of signing that wins us the League.

Certainly - Benz + Vidz and we would be right up there in the mix.
