Messi may be the best, he may not be. But he certainly isn't in 'another league' to some of the other top world class players imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically taking over the deal AC Milan had with Juventus which means a €9m loan fee for the second half of the season I think. With the option to buy set at €36m.

True Blue 971 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Almost a done deal 6 months loan plus a year if he starts banging them in. If Berserker doesn't change his team to Chelsea is he really a Higuain fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GONZALO HIGUAIN WILL BE A CHELSEA PLAYER AFTER AGREEING MOVE WITH JUVENTUS JACK PORTER - 07:58, 17 Jan 2019 The Argentine forward Gonzalo Higuain will now be serenaded around Stamford Bridge after a deal was agreed between Chelsea and his parent club Juventus. The 31-year-old will end his loan move at Serie A side AC Milan and spearhead Maurizio Sarri’s attack once again, this time in West London (SkySports). Higuain played under the Italian at former club Napoli for a single season before moving onto the Old Lady and winning back-to-back titles in Turin. The loan move for Higuain certainly seems to signal the end of Alvaro Morata’s time at Chelsea. The Spaniard has been cast out into the cold with the dazzling Eden Hazard shifted upfront in recent games. Morata has been dropped from the Blues squad entirely in five of the last seven league occasions and with Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, and Barcelona circling, the striker will no doubt find his passage out of Chelsea eased with Higuain’s arrival. It is generally expected that Hazard will be shifted out onto his preferred left wing. Though many speculate it may be a little too long, a little too late to bring in a player on the wrong side of 30 as a major January signing, Higuain's pedigree certainly holds weight. https://www.thesportsman.com/articles/transfer-on-gonzalo-higuain-will-be-a-chelsea-player-after-agreeing-move-with-juventus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero 5,267 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 9 minutes ago, True Blue said: Who is he mate? Simon Phillips. This is a great deal for us. Given our policy on footballers over 30, we are giving Higuain 6 months to show what he's worth vs the fees it will take to bring him here permanently. If he does well, can only see us activating the 18 month loan vs buying him. Can only hope the Sarri effect will do to him like Benitez and Torres. If he does a job similar to Eto'o, we will no doubt finish top 4. Another note, whether this is a success or failure, is down to Sarri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Blue 971 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I have no problem with signing Higuain, if it's a 6 month probation he will work his arse off for that extra year. If he proves good then keep him for an extra year. We can't lose in this deal. Morata will surely be loaned now, with Atletico Madrid his likely destination. Also i doubt he will be returning to the cub again, similar to the Torres loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluewolf 7,161 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Can't underestimate how much of a feel good factor his signing will bring to the side as well... As Blue said I think he will be working hard for at least 6 months and he does have a good understanding of Sarri's methods so that's a bonus.. If we do manage to get a couple more in to bolster the side it should freshen things up a bit, Passing wise and possession wise we are doing well, just need to sharpen up and be more of a threat in attack..

The west London club agreed a deal with Juventus late last night to sign the Argentina international on loan for the rest of the season, which will pave the way for Alvaro Morata to leave for Atletico Madrid. Chelsea have until 12pm on Friday to officially register the 31-year-old as a member of the squad for the striker to be able to feature against Unai Emery’s side at Emirates Stadium the following day https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea/chelsea-want-gonzalo-higuain-to-face-arsenal-after-agreeing-transfer-with-juventus-a4041326.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcanuck 175 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Good deal for Chelsea, a six month loan deal with an option to either exend the loan for twelve months or to buy outright. Chelsea get the opportunity to see if Higuain can cut it in the Premium without spending £30M on him, but I don't see what Juventus gets out of this.
