Messi won't score more than 35 goals in Serie A lol, the Moretti's and Gamberini's of Serie A would murder him on the pitch before he even reaches that number

Ronaldo on the other hand definitely could

he scored 36 goals. not 48 and 50 and 46.

The players scoring 48, 50, and 46 were Messi and Ronaldo, not Higuain.
If Higuain managed to reach 36, what do you think prime Ronaldo and Messi would've done in Italy?

Higuain scored 36 in Italy, where any pro will tell you its harder to score. Imagine if he played every game in la liga and bitched whenever someone not named Gonzalo took a shot on goal.

by Firenze Tue May 09, 2017 5:45 pm

harder to score? lol right

you have people like Dzeko and Kalinic destroying the league

sit down

the sheer amount of complete scrubs in Serie A that put up double digits is ridiculous

by FilthyLuca Tue May 09, 2017 6:02 pm

So forget what guys like Ibra and Carlos Tevez say, because you think Dzeko is a scrub.

I can do that too....a nothing like Iago Aspas has 17 goals and something called Anduritz has 15. Alvaro Morata barely plays and has 15 goals.

I don't have to imagine it, it already happened and he didn't reach 30 goals.

It's pretty simple, if Higuain can reach 36 goals in Italy there is no reason to assume that Ronaldo and Messi wouldn't be able to replicate their CL and Liga goal scoring exploits in Serie A, unless you actually believe Higuain is a better player than the other two.

Yep. Serie A is heading the EPL direction seeing how many shit players are destroying your league. Hope the trend changes asap

No, he had to share with Benzema. And even then wasn't the focal point of the attack like in Napoli, because Ronaldo throws temper tantrums when they don't let him take all the shots.
And scoring more goals doesn't mean youre better, so even if they didn't score more than higuain, theyd still be better than him.

Higuain was the focal point for almost 3 years before his serious injury in 2011. You could argue that he hadn't hit his prime yet, but he was also more explosive and noticeably faster then.

Benzema had almost as many shots on targets last year as Higuain had in Serie A, this whole narrative of Ronaldo monopolizing all this teams' attempts on goal is vastly exaggerated.

just saying, being a better player doesnt mean youll score more, and scoring more doesnt automatically make you a better player

Benzema takes 2.5 shots a game and ronaldo almost 6.
doubt it was much different when higuain was the "focal point".

Benzema took 52 shots on goals last year playing with Ronaldo while Higuain took 55 with Napoli, hardly a difference.

Check your numbers....its 51 to 83 in league play
182 total shots for higuain compared to 98 for Benzema

Yep, you're right.

I still need to see Higuain's stats when he was in Madrid for a more accurate comparison.

by Firenze Tue May 09, 2017 9:36 pm

another knockout game from him with 0 goals, isn't that 4 goals in 25 knockout games for him now rofl

imagine thinking he will come through for you in the final

by Cruijf Tue May 09, 2017 11:21 pm

Its not just that he doesn't score, it's that his all round play is awful too Laughing

Can't tell if this is serious hmm

by S Wed May 10, 2017 6:34 am

He should've scored in the first half

That failed chip reminded me of his miss against Chile in last year's final

That said, he did most of the job in the 1st leg WHEN IT MATTERED most.

Choker tag, overweight criticisms and facing his former club. Many reasons for him to get pumped up for the final. Hope he wins it for us.

by rincon Mon May 22, 2017 10:31 am

Juventus' fans MVP of the season. Well deserved, he was there from the first until the last game.

What's worse is he took Dybala with him on his disappearing adventure. Awful.

by Mr Nick09 Sun Jun 04, 2017 12:57 am

dont blame HIguain for Dybala having a chokejob, they both did absolutely nothing.

by Firenze Sun Jun 04, 2017 1:06 am

90m for a player that finished 5th Serie A topscorer, typical final choke job

Safe to call this a flop signing IMO? Juve would win Serie A with Pazzini up front, he was signed to win them the CL and based on his performance today that will never happen.

by RealGunner Sun Jun 04, 2017 1:07 am

I don't know why he is being singled out? He assisted Mandzukic and was very dangerous early on when he actually got the ball from the midfield.

it's not like he missed sitters or anything.

by Firenze Sun Jun 04, 2017 1:11 am

did he have a single shot?

plenty of the players had bad performances but don't have a 90m price attached to them and were bought to get Juve a CL

same reason ppl kept criticizing Pogbito throughout the season
