Higuain's too a good a striker to say no to, given our situation.

Anyway, we're in deep sh*t. We have money but we can't spend it. FFP is driving clubs like us to the ground. We don't have enough revenues to cover for all the crazy player fees circulating in today's football. Hence why wealthy clubs like Barca, Madrid, Juventus, Bayern etc. are dominating Europe.

Unless we build a new stadium, for starters, we're going nowhere.

I think Higuain will leave us. Let's see. It is really a shame. We take one step foward, and two steps back because we are limited with FFP.

I'm the most dissapointed with Ibra/Fabregas transfers because they would have been practically free, and with reasonable wages. Nevermind, the obvious boost they would have provided to our team. Two big players even if they are past their prime. Instead, we get Paquetta for 35million paying the highest transfer fee for a brazilian coming to Italy. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with Paquetta. But, if we don't get to champions leauge, we might need to sell him very soon if the opportunity arises. We needed players who can give us an immediate success so that our chances for CL qualification increase.

I hope I'm not too pessimistic.

Paqueta means little to nothing, he's just a kid. Not getting Ibra and Cesc, keeping Hakan and definitively alienating Higuain thanks to Leonardo - will cost us dearly. Another 6th place is in the makings, at best.

Keeping Hakan will cost us? The hell are you saying? And why is it Leonardo's fault that Higuain wants to leave? I think you're making some wild assumptions here.

Not getting Cesc, yes, that was a huge mistake. Even if it meant paying 10M to Chelsea we still should have gone for it.

Agreed. I guess there is someone who sees it the same way I do.

Leonardo had some negative things to say about Higuain, hence Pipo's statement.

So it seems that by Tuesday higuin will leave for Chelsea and his replacement will be Piatek from Genoa who is also costing 40 odd million. How are we paying 40 m for him when we could not spend anything earlier? Is it simply related to out higuin liability settlement I suppose

P.S How good is Piatek btw?

So, I never watched him play. But, he is top scorer in Serie A behind CR. He certainly has immense potential. It is simply an exchange
The money we were going to pay on Higuain..we will pay on Piatek.

I prefer the move. Higuain is obviously not motivated and happy here.

Higuaín is struggling here at the age of 31, and is not belly fit, so age can matter a lot for him. It's not working out great, so better go for a 23 year old, much better long term, and could easily be better deal short term as well, looking at how we've been upfront lately.

I am not familair with the 23 year old as well, so I can't say if scouting has done well.

Piatek is your typical poacher from what little I've seen of him. He thrives on service, so I think he will struggle a lot.

It's unbelievable that in this window, which we were supposedly going to use to fill our holes in midfield and attack, we are wasting it on changing strikers. If by the end of January we haven't signed a decent mid and a decent left winger, then we're royally f*cked.

Yeah, I am a little disappointed with the way January has gone, but we are still facing problems with FFP. I think I will withhold judgment until the end of the month. I have a feeling they are going to bring someone else in to make the push for CL.

Not getting a winger is what will hold us back this season. I'm p!ssed off about Higuain, but it's not like he was scoring for fun, he hasn't been the same since that Juve game when he missed the penalty
