He's pretty much forcing himself out.
Mourinho wasn't going to sell him, for example. That should tell you something.
Fuck hypothetically stalling that, sell him asap and get that money reinvested.
Fuck selling him to Chelski.
If they give us cray money for him I would. Probably more than £40m.

Well you see this was never the plan.
The plan was for Benzema to leave. At one stage we were just days away from Benzema handing in his transfer request, 11 days I believe, people in Lyon were relating all of this back to us.
It seemed as though nothing could be done about it.
But then things changed, situation was fluid and Perez and Benz had a chat and Benz felt loved again, Benz forgave the betrayal that Mourinho sent down upon him and agreed he would stay and fight for Madrid and lead them to glory.
Benz is just that good, so Higuain had to do one.
Or Monaco. But surely he won't do a Falcao.
Doesn't his buy out clause expire? They'd be better off doing a deal sooner or later, so they can spend the money and replace him. They don't want to do a Liverpool.

Lots of sources have the same quote. Only City so far it seems.

LOL fuck off, I admit I know little of football outside of Serie A, I am genuinely puzzled as to the Higuain hype.
Also, I studied law. Graduated recently.
Haha yeah! It was a favourite of mine at the time I didn't have a PS3 because it sucked to be honest of you. But boy, they turned it round. So hyped for PS4.
Erm... buy one? I love the Air!!!
looooooooooooooooooooooool
maybe i'm setting the bar too high since rvp has gone (he possesses all the qualities a number nine should have in my opinion), and maybe arsenal fans in general are excited about any striker not named giroud, but... higuain is not very good. he's not worth the money.
compared to giroud, any striker will look like he's quick on his feet.
higuain can be a good poacher, but i just don't see what the fuss is all about.
rvp come back please
i forgive you i swear

Do we know why he is forcing himself out? Lack of playing time? Surely Arsenal is a step down from Real Madrid, so there must be some reason.
I am puzzled because people have been hyping up Higuain so much, they've been making him seem like the next RVP. But imagine if RVP played for Madrid, they would never let him leave.

How exactly? explain Sal, pls.
It doesn't matter if Higuain was 'not good enough' for Madrid or not. All that matters is that he'd easily be Arsenal's best striker.
I wasn't being sarcastic actually :lol and I know you did!

I don't have to have one to love it! I fawn over them... A LOT though. Me and the GF might go half on one soon.

I said this last week too - Mourinho didn't want Higuain to leave Madrid, but now he's gone to Chelsea and is after a striker..he isn't looking to bring him in.
He's beneath that top level of strikers IMO but he is still pretty good.
I think he will score alot of goals...but I have a feeling that a bit like Mario Gomez he might not be a match-winner in crucial situations.

I haven't a clue, Frank. The Madrid guys may know more.
He said the only offer he's had is from Madrid, yet a couple of weeks later he says the only offer he's had is from City.
Something isn't adding up

I like how they publish the same article again just a few days later. Just shows that Bild doesn't know shit.
stop it
He wanted a WC striker in his 2nd (or/and first) season, remember? He moaned about it until they sacked Jorge Valdano.
Yeah, this is it. The problem with Arsenal is that I don't think they have any match winners. Cazorla and Wilshere, arguably Walcott, are on that brink, but they don't have one player the quality of RVP, Mata, Aguero, Bale, Suarez. Not one on the level of Rooney, Hazard, Toure. Not one on the level defensively of Vidic, Kompany, Cech. And to close the gap to the front three, they need more than Higuain.
Let's go the whole hog. Let's make GAF Transfer News Twitter account.
Let's change the ITK rumour game.

Who knows really. I like Higuain, not really sure where I'd put him in a list of top strikers.
Some of his failings at Madrid could have a lot to do with how greedy Ronaldo and his boys are.
For Argentina he can't stop scoring for example and before 2011-ish he was a great striker.
I'll give him a wait-n-see rating. All I know is he will be better than Giroud lol.

Just make an account called Turok_ITK and tweet whatever he posts here.
Simple.
Simple.
Everytime Ronaldo used to pass to Higgy he would choke and miss. I'm not surprise Ronnie stopped passing to him.
Levy would come in with a cheeky bid. Spurs could do with some more overated strikers.
Wilbz, Cazorla is on Mata's level. Trust me <3
His passing percentage is below 85%, so yes.
Is this guy really leaving?
Under the assumption that the Cavani deal is done and Ibra stays, I wonder what formation Blanc will do. I'm thinking of 4-3-1-2 with Moura or Pastore behind Ibra and Cavani. Then you'll have a Verratti, Matuidi, and Motta midfield.
4-2-3-1. Verratti leaves for Juventus next summer.
No fucking way mang. I love you babby gurl but NO. NO.
Cazorla was fucking amazing five times this season. Mata was consistently amazing game after game after game.

What? Heinrich to BVB could be true but Bild certainly doesn't know anything more than we do, that's for sure.
If Verratti leaves, he'll be going to Madrid.

That was revenge for all the times Hig misses Ronaldo's assists.
Hig knew people say Ronaldo scores lots but doesn't assist. He is Messi's friend and wanted Ronaldo to look bad so when Ronaldo passed to him he would miss on purpose.
Ronaldo is a man of honour. He treats people the way they treat him.

Fry actually believes Pep would keep someone with a 78% pass accuracy. :lolol what a joke. Go play for Stoke with those numbers Gomez.

At that time he was pissed with Benz, since he was doing awfully bad.
He did much better on Mou 2nd season, not so much last year.
Edit: I hope Anceloltti dosn't plan to use Benz as our main striker. Since Cavani is out of the question I'll take Gomez is Pep dosn't want him.

How weird.
I just got an email telling me where I'm gonna be working in September.
Dept of Health here I come. No idea why they emailed me at this time though.

I agree.
At his best Wilshere was damn good. A shame we have seen so little of it so far.
Just looked at the stats and apparently he made 25 PL appearances last season. Really didn't think he'd played that much, even including sub appearances.
