Ok First assumption higgy does not improve:

If we win nothing-There will be boot

If we win something without him in the picture-He will get boot

If we win something with him in the picture-Maybeeee, it depends on many factors. If he has a really big part then no boot.

If he does improve and becomes at falcaos level or close:

No reason for boot in any situations, Unless falcao enters ballon d'or mode (very highly unlikely)
Falcao is 26 years old, first time he exploded in his league. All their system is set to suit him. For your info, Higgy doesn't suck, our system is made for CR7. Did you seriously state goals/ minute useless for a poacher? Very Happy C'mon yuri, you could argue better than that Very Happy
Higgy is 23, he is 1,84m tall , two-footed , great acceleration and positioning. He has to work on bulking up himself+ shooting technique. Poachers only get better with age, I would never sell him if the RMA board would be sane Very Happy If Higgy develops the right way ( He doesn't seem to be a slacker), he'll be similar to Batigol light in 3 years :lol!:

So you do have buttons that can be pressed babun
Twisted Evil

He is 184 cm tall but he doesnt really head that much, falcao does it alot better. Both of us know that porto is built around hulk and not falcao, just like we are build around cris and not our striker. Its very rare to find teams built around out and out striker tbh. I dont suffer from any fanzemitis but I would like us to consider the scenario where benz/aguero comes out on top and higgy doesnt improve/fails in CL again. Im putting out falcao as a possibility because he is the type of guy we are looking for and the best at it. I never said that goals/minute dont matter but I really beleive stats dont express the whole story and thats why I countered with falcaos numbers, anyone can play this game.

Babun I beleive that there are major flaws with higgys game, he finds it hard to control through balls so thus he has to either position himself or beat his man with speed first (which he does more than positioning to be honest). I barely ever see him do one touch goals like Falcao, Sanchez, RvN or Zamorano. Aside from not being able to drible or do quick one twos with any players in tough games (this takes away alot of the effectiveness of his positioning) . These flaws in his game are what makes it hard for him to score against big teams. His main strength including quick thinking and being able to swiftly capitalize on defensive errors as well as the ability to shoot from any position in the box (although he usually needs control it with a touch first). These facets of his game will make him effective against weaker ones (time and space is given as well as defensive errors).

Falcao on the other hand has great ability to control through balls, crosses and to score one touch goals. He is also a better dribblers, he isnt messi but he will certainly provide space to others.

I think we should consider falcao and monitor him over the next year when he plays CL football, we should also monitor higgy and if he is able to overcome his own obstacles or the team can accomodate him better in big games. I am a bit guilty of being a fanboy and having a certain affection for zamorano which seems to have transfered to him, but I really dont think my stance is unreasonable. I also believe that having our two main strikers belonging to different age groups would be beneficial.
Of all the things you mentioned, only the one touch finishing seems like a real problem but you learn it with time Very Happy Like I said, poachers need time to mature into something big Very Happy
One more funny point, if someone didn't know Higgy and read your post they'll be thinking that he is an EPL type player, all about speed with little technique... Very Happy

Higuain's more than a basic poacher imo. He can score chips, curl shots, long range, 1v1s and isn't that bad dribbling with the ball either.

I stand by this statement but with one adjustment. Falcao is gonna be a real pain in the ass for Real Madrid to deal with..

Higuain has one major flaw to his game... he's not good with build up. Just like Benz' flaw is that he is average at playing the pure 9. When you play the 4-3-3, which is where we're headed as long as Barca plays a 3+ man midfield, you need the forwards that can play all the positions. The way our system is developing, specialists won't work... which is why Di Maria is struggling too btw.
