Gonzalo Higuain

[Keith Moon]

Had his best season at Madrid under Pellegrini 09-10, bagged 29 goals, only Messi did better..

 

[Troubadour]

Anyone think we stepped aside regarding Isco so the Higuain deal could be done? don't shoot me but didn't we have some sort of agreement with Madrid! anyway just putting it out there!

I won't shoot you but if I hear of this deal with Madrid again I think ill shoot myself

Judging by this week's events, that's a fookin weird non-agression pact

Bunch of crap...

Madrid are the rags of Spain... wouldn't trust them further that I could puke them

Just about sums it up. I couldn't agree more.

Anyone got a picture of him in a City shirt?

 

[sam-caddick]

If Chelsea get Cavani and Madrid get Suarez, our striker options are seriously diminishing in relation to significantly making us a better side.

the more i think about this the more it makes sense.

great partnership with Aguero
greeny has already managed and him got some very good performances from him in the past
good attitude
he's argentinian
still young
cheapish

yes please

Regards to his partnership with kun, I dun think MP will play 2 strikers up front so they probably won't play together a lot. Unless kun starts in the wide position in a 4-3-3.
Can someone bring up his shooting stats. I always thought of him as a very clinical striker who takes his chances. Something our strikers lack last season.

Only worry on my mind is his injury record. I recall he had a back injury that kept him out for a long time. Back injuries are usually hard to recover completely.
