Could of got both in as we still only have 2 CF. The thought crossed my mind that Piatek will be playing in 2 years time and Higuain will be in China

Don't be so naive, Bov.
Why would Piatek settle to be second choice behind Sarri's favourite and wait 2 years? Absurd.
2 strikers (+1 "false 9" when necessary) for one striker position is sufficient.

All things considered it looks a risk, bearing that in mind I still don't understand why we didn't recall Abraham and give him a chance.
Worst case scenario is he's no better than the two we have now but on the other hand if he starts banging goals in then great and we could end up saving a fortune on a striker in the summer!
Seems like a no brainer to me!

Are you suggesting that we’re all no brainer’s here ?

There's two ways of looking at this. Both Higuain & Piatek come with immense risk, but if you ask me the fact Milan's the club who'll be signing Piatek bodes well for future interested parties which may include us. It's better him going there than too a better, more financially stable club that'll be tougher to extract him from down the road and should help the question of whether he's a flash in the pan star or not.
And whether you believe Higuain to be the answer or not (and for the record I believe he's gunna flop hard) it's got to be encouraging that the club are backing Sarri's judgement which needs to happen for his appointment to have any chance of working long term. We've got to trust Sarri will spark some life into him, get him into shape (mentally & physically) which'll make the board trust Sarri's judgement more in the future

Why can't we make a deal with Leicester City?We will give them Cahill,Drinkwater and Bakayoko if thet sell us Jamie Vardy and a centre-back who we like who is Harry Macguire & we will gladly offer them 40 million pounds besides that for them?

Not sure about this. AC Milan are a very big club and I don't remember the last time we plucked any player from them who took our fancy. Apart from Sheva of course who was well past his best at that point and Milan did very well out of that deal. Just as they would in any future dealings with us I'm sure.

They've not had many players who took our fancy full stop, Ancelotti's team were mostly 30 y/o+ and Allegri's two marquee players PSG snapped up before anyone else touched them.
They're a caliber of clubs these days whose big players can get poached, so Piatek going there doesn't rule him out of moving again long term was my point. If he continues to develop and score consistently I'd be amazed if he's still at AC Milan in two or three years.
