It looks like Chelsea have sealed Higuain on a 6 month loan deal with the option to extend for another year.
Sarri has got his man, Marina has backed him.
He will be eligible to play against Arsenal on Saturday.
Hazard back to his best position.
Morata off to Atletico Madrid, Batshuayi to Milan.
Today is a good day.
Welcome to Chelsea, Gonzalo.

What a desperate state we are in , of course we want Higuain to do well, but we are so desperate at this moment in time, that it is becoming an embarrassment ,
I don't expect Higuain to pull up any trees but......
their again, I was the one who said Morata would be a revelation !
So come on Gonzalo, come over and make us all love you .

I haven't watched Higuain this season so I don't know where he's at in terms of age and form etc but he surely can't be as bad as Morata and Giroud have been. Hopefully he'll be a marked improvement on them. The bar isn't set very high at this point.

I've watched him this season and to be honest, he has lost his pace and currently lazy. He is more of Giroud and in my opinion Morata is currently better than him putting their performances this season.

Got mixed feelings about this. Good to see Marina trust the managers first opinion when it's been reported (and implied through her dealings with Wilson) that she's not sold on Higuain, that's a very good thing. It looks like we're prepared to back Sarri in a way we didn't back Conte and that's great
Having said that I don't disagree with her in this particular case. Yes anyone is better than Morata/Giroud in theory, but Higuain comes with plenty of his own baggage that suggest he's more of the same - it's swapping damaged goods for damaged goods. I really hope I'm eating crow by the end of the season.

Interesting one this. Higuain looks done as a top level striker, but if he can contribute goals to get top four and maybe a trophy it doesn’t seem a bad loan deal. GT will lose his shiiiiiiiit when he sees Higuain in the starting lineup while Giroud warms the bench. So that will be fun.

I am what? I am an Arsenal fan ffs. I really dont care.

Is this article a bit premature, I still haven't seen anything to say we've signed him!
