Anyone remember if i have said anything obscene? really trying hard but can't think of anything.

Thought Vermaelen would be one of the best CB in the world once. I guess that counts

by RealGunner Thu Nov 07, 2013 8:59 am

Me.

Well I dunno about trash, but I said the last time I saw him he was incredibly bad passer and will struggle badly in Arsenal's no gameplan (at the time) defence.

I was wrong, he is clearly more than solid and his passing looks fine to me.

Who were saying Higuain is a CL flop ? Laughing

by Mr Nick09 Thu Nov 07, 2013 9:18 am

Dont you mean the entire Juve Section?

Anyway, i said he was a CL flop for madrid, you cant dispute that. Not that he would flop his whole career in CL, not the same.

3 goals and 2 assists in 3 games within the UCL for Napoli.

Not only that, just a far more complete player under Benitez. Passes well, makes use of two feet excellently, leads the line, links-up.

Although his finishing 1-on-1 hasn't been as clinical as it should be yet he has ultimately been a success.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Nov 07, 2013 9:21 am

His passing was always underrated anyway..... nowhere near the technical shithouse people made out.

Players don't improve so much in 2 months. He always had those qualities, they just didn't get appreciated because he played alongside Oezil and Benzema.

by Mr Nick09 Thu Nov 07, 2013 9:24 am

Higuain is also benefiting from having the whole napoli team built around him, wasnt the case in madrid so his numbers are better. He is also being better coached than he ever was in madrid in my opinion. What's happening is only normal. If Benzema finds a team that works for him like napoli do for higgy, he will do much better as well.

Pretty much what Zeal was teaching me within chat. It serves testament on my thoughts how Madrid (like City) has an uncanny ability to siphon the best out of their players.

Which is why I maintain Benzema and Coentrao must leave the club.

by McAgger Thu Nov 07, 2013 9:27 am

Higgy has always been this goat, I think people forget that before he became primarily a goalscorer he used to play on the wing and he used get involved in the build ups in goals all the time. He even scored some dribbling screamers. I remember he dribbled from his own half all the way to the oppositions 18 yard box and scored a screamer. I think it was against Malaga or Valladolid.

by fatman123 Thu Nov 07, 2013 9:30 am

Why didn't Chelsea buy five less AMs and use the money to get Higuain :facepalm:
