Anyone still wanna get jiggy with tha higgy?

Higuain to Juve for 60 mil plus Roberto Pereyra is the story doing the rounds now. If so thats Pogba to United then.

Can't say we didn't "try"

Clever by Juve. Occupy us with a bid for Sanchez and then slide in on Higuain while we're busy trying to protect our turf.

GooneriC

More like Juve going after what they need , try for Sanchez and then not faffing around when that failed.

Mello

Obviously it's because we're buying Dybala from them.

i would nut if we got him and kept Giroud. Dybala is built for Sanchez and Ozil. but unlikely, given that they have already shifted Morata. they'll just take their money and buy Higuain and Sissoko, which is arguably better than one Pogba.

well I'm glad that our rivals + Juve and the Spanish teams are signing top players. After the shock that was Leicester and Portugal winning major honours I briefly thought that the world was ending, but nope. Normal service resumed.

As i said in the morata thread, i can't see us being willing to blow juves financial offer out of the water if they do come in for him. Hopefully de laurenitis is reluctant to sell to a rival, but he seems like the sort to flog anything for the right price

i've only seen clips of his exploits last season. his finishing has never been in question, i've always rated him as a better finisher than aguero. however i wonder if the general lack of pace in serie a defenders makes him appear quicker than he actually is - he's blowing past people quite a fair bit in that video, but that element of his game could be nullified in the epl, no?

I would like to think he'll drop a bit of timber if he comes here and that would help him translate that speed advantage from Serie A to the Premier League. Whether he relies on his physical attributes or not, he's unquestionably carrying too much to be in top shape and that will harm his game, especially in this League.

I know it's a bit different with Özil because he had to gain some muscle and power rather than lose weight but he has transformed physically since joining and it has helped him immensely. Higuain is that bit older but hopefully he'll see the need and work hard to improve on that front.

He's a phenomenal finisher though, as you say, every kind of goal in that video. Intelligence comes through in everything you see of him.

We pay our top earners a lot more than Juve, so if we get our fingers out this should be doable.

lorddulaarsenal

Bah Wenger doesn't want to win things enough.

Appeal or money don't differ that much between us and Juve. The key difference is ambitions.

Savz

Do you think Juve have move ambition than us? If so please explain.

Clrnc

When you have Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini, Rugani and still add Benatia in the mix, it says it all.

Meanwhile, we are pondering whether to partner Koscielny with a truck or a Brazilian city.

Juve are better then us.
They win more leagues, more cups. They are at the top of the CL every year....

BWoolley

The usual crap rumours are flying. Some idiots on twitter claiming that a Radio Napoli announcer has said that Higuain will move to Arsenal and that Arsenal are looking to sell players (Koscielny was named) to make the offer. Now some news about Higuain house-hunting on London will round off this season of Arsenal-linked nonsense nicely.

Savz

Nothing rumours.

HomeSteak

Same shit every summer. I'm not geting into it this time....we won't sign a striker...

[size=medium]the usual posturing by de laurinitis. he's refused to sign a new deal at napoli, so he'll have to be sold at some point. no-one is going to pay that release clause, so it comes down to getting the maximum for him. they'll probably never get a better price for him than they will this summer[/size]
