Does anyone think higuain will flop at arsenal?

1.) 20 Jun 2013
Unfortunately no.

2.) 20 Jun 2013
Yes, he is slow and incredibly overated. {Ed008's Note - Slow? Overrated? You d

Not sure but why is no-one else going for him at 25 million (utd, citeh, chavski, us or any other big clubs).

4.) 20 Jun 2013
Probably because no one will pay the wages he wants, except arsenal.
Don't worry to much about higuain. There is plenty if other talent out there.
Soldado, negredo, Gomez, villa, hulk, falcao, cavani, Fred to name a few.
These players were always going to go to the likes of arsenal, chavski, Manchester. I just hope we can grab one too.

Delyid the same questions could be asked of our apparent targets but doesn't mean they won't cut it.

6.) 20 Jun 2013
Ed, are you suggesting that Higuain ain't slow? He looks slow to me, a waste of money at 25m'ish.

7.) 20 Jun 2013
Yeah I agree, my above post was sort of a question why is no-one else interested? personally I think he is a very good player. Madrid won't sell him to us unless Bale is involved so hey can do one. Would love us to sign Gomez, Bernard, Villa and Soldado/Negredo, whilst offloading ade, parker, and I fell we should blood some youth

Delyid, sorry misunderstood your point. Thought you were saying he was rubbish and that's why nobody else wants him.
Agree though would love him at the lane but not at the expense of bale. Surely if Madrid are just refusing us because we won't sell Bale to them, then this "Link" we have for them is abit 1 sided. Makes me think when we do come to sell Bale we should sell to anyone but them.
Lastly don't see us getting 3 strikers this year and honestly think we'll start season with 2 strikers. Hopefully that'll see us use our youth. My choice is Gomez, Saldado, Bernard and Pauliniho (based on who we're linked with)

9.) 21 Jun 2013
Utd have no real need for a striker unless Rooney or someone else leaves. Chelsea and City have other targets atm (Cavani/Jovetic) but Higuain has been linked with Juventus.
Gomez is likely to go to Napoli, Fred won't leave Brazil, Falcao has signed for Monaco, Cavani is likely to go to Chelsea/Madrid/City in that order, Hulk would cost £40m-ish. So that leaves Villa, Soldado and Negredo as possibilities.
Also I don't think Higuain is slow. He's not the quickest but definitely not slow. And he isn't on high wages, if he was then Arsenal certainly wouldn't be getting him with their 100k/week wage structure.

Wow. a month ago you lot was praising higuian, and was hoping he could be involved in some sort of cash plus player deal for bale. now he's slow and overrated.

11.) 21 Jun 2013
Above post, that's not the opinion of all supporters. I think he'll do well for Arsenal and think its a shame we cannot tempt him to the lane.

12.) 21 Jun 2013
Higuain is a quality player, we can only hope he doesn't settle if he joins 'them' or just has rotten luck all round.
Simmo

Rumours emerging today that he prefers juventus.
The arse have offered 25million euro.
Juve have offered 17million euro.
Madrid, apparently want 43million euro.
It's not all done and dusted just yet but again, this may all just be 'itk' rubbish too.
