Higuain on the cover of three Italian newspapers tomorrow: http://www.football-italia.net/todayspapers/87371

Ah well. Exciting while it lasted.

I can't believe we're being outbid by Juve. It's one thing when it's oil money shooting us out of the market, but Juve's finances are well below ours.

Has there ever been a reliable source that we were in for him in the first place? Even now, are any of these sources that say he is going to Juve reliable?

What about the Campbell story? Morata? Lacazette?

The only story that had any basis from what I can tell so far this year was Vardy. Other than that it sounds like the usual Metro/Twitter spin the wheel and match the player to the club type rumours that drive everyone insane.

extra gravy

Just pay the fcuking money. Sick of this shiit.

We need a top quality striker. At the moment he is probably the pinnacle of what's available. If we aren't in for him then even more serious questions need to be asked.

What has that even remotely got to do with what I posted?

Juve sell Pogba to United at €120m+. Juve pay €94m release fee for Higuain. That's all that's really happening, if it does happen.

I'm not hugely bothered, if we bring in two players of real quality.

I think this is just big news in Itsly cause it's Juve. No more to it than the story about us.

Edit: Napoli have come out and said it's made up

And if we dont?

Well then I'd wager it'll be another year of scraping top 4. With so many top managers, and them all having inflated budgets, it's not unreasonable to predict that we don't fulfill our top 4 target.

David Ornstein said about a month ago that Higuain was our top priority and he's about as reliable as these twitter lads get but it could still be a load of old waffle.

How many hundred million is the annual revenue? Amazing we're still beggars.

Again, nobody has answered me. What does that achieve?

Are you new here? Every year the same blind/naive/brainwashed people come out with "we tried". Hell, even in this thread in the last month "it's good to see we're trying to get business done early". Get the tickets sold, keep enough idiots placated, keep leveraging the club to keep finances elsewhere sorted.

So when are we all meeting up for pints and a match so we can all shout at eachother!?

I can't go I'm afraid, because I'd probably end up lumping the head off some posters for years of ****e

Oh, so it's the tired old "pretend to sign a player during season ticket renewal time" argument.

You know Arsenal have an 8-10 year waiting list for season tickets? They don't need to rely on tenuous links to players to sell them.

Meant to add that the tweet is well dated but has been rehashed several times. Either way, im not sure about any twitter people that claim to be in the know, It seems that everyone and anyone on social media seems to know something that others dont.

What's the 8-10 years based on exactly? I'm assuming it's based on how many typically get freed up each year, i.e., a tiny amount. It would take a small economic downturn for that 8-10 years to become 1 year.
