still scored more in less games(again) than Benzema this season.

Benzema is having poor season too, it's not strange. Both of them are having pretty poor season.
I do think Benzema is better footballer but Higuain has a nose for chance, it's just that he doesn't look confident to score lot of them.
I don't think he's the type of target we're looking for, tbh. Already on colossal wages at the world's biggest club (more or less), I think we'd have to raise his wages a lot for him to think of joining and don't think that's something we plan on doing with the new regime.

can't blame him when he sits on the bench for a guy who cost 41m Euros and does sod all to justify the price tag.
Goals per game in League since Benzema arrived at RM, KB: 0.44, GH: 0.68. League + Europe, KB: 0.47, GH: 0.58. Benzema is better in Europe but has also started a higher proportion of CL games, at 73% of his games in the CL being starts compared to Higuain's 63%.

Falcao is the one we will be after.

Imo Benzema is better than any of our current strikers.
I say this because not only is he a very good goalscorer (approx 100 in 200 games) he's also very good at linking up, playing in wider positions, running at the opposition and creating his own goals/openings. He's very 'powerful' and very direct. He can also 'play'.
A huge upgrade on Dzeko for example. Makes Balotelli look like Bobby Zamora.
The fee receieved from Balotelli would go a long way towards making this happen.
I'd also say the same should Higuain be available. Another fucking quality player.

Two different strikers i suppose, but last season benzema began to show why he is rated so highly. I do understand your point though.JoeMercer'sWay said:shevtheblue said:No hes not.JoeMercer'sWay said:nope, would take Higuain though as he's the better striker.
