Gonzalo Higuain is set for showdown talks with Florentino P�rez and Carlos Ancelotte. A deal was in place for around 23m poinds, however real still wish to keep him and wanted clear the air talks before making a final decision. Real will not stand in his way if he reiterates his intention to leave to seek a regular starting birth, but real will only let him leave if a) find they can find a suitable replacement and b) the buying club meet the 30m euro valuation, which is about 26m pounds.


Arsenal need a striker of Higuain's calibre, and someone who is disciplined unlike Suarez. The Argentine is potentially the Gunners most important summer target.

So what is the most ideal outcome from the Suarez and Higuain rumours? Madrid buy Suarez and sell Higuain to Arsenal - win, win and another win as Liverpool lose a potential golden boot winner!

Arsenal ain't signing no big names, well sign unheard of players or OKAY players nothing more, it pains me to know this I feel this same feeling every year. If any deal were tied up like some people are saying, we would have taken these players on tour to gel in. We may be close, but that's all we wanna be so our board can say we tried and showed intent Fellaini is no done deal, there's links to 2 other clubs, Suarez is a quality player a bad apple and just doesn't seem a Wenger player, higuain is in peace talks as is rooney and if chelsea and city get in if the talks fail were left with not even scraps. At best hope city get jobetic chelsea sign rooney and torres becomes available, hell fit in well even though he's been more torrid then torres. Even then he'd rather pay 700 french 14 yr olds minimum wage to represent the club than a landmark player!

Well you have got to hand it to Real. At least they won't sell a player unless they get a suitable replacement! Not like us we don't give a monkeys it seems. We sell anyone anytime good or bad. Ball boys included.

Spot on in my opinion.

We need a goal scorer a fox in the box. Huguain is not that but suarez is. Also Suarez is experienced in the prem and huguain isnt. In my opinion let Real keep Hig and let's have Suarez. Do you really think hig will score 30 goals in his first season? Has he ever scored 30 goals in a season? We need Suarez

Suarez hasn't scored 30 goals?

Higuian is emmense just because he dosent get start every time for real does not mean he isn. t one of the best strikers in the world.
1) Higuians goal conversion is only matched by ronaldo & messi fact.
2) the prem is different to most other leagues and it does take usually some time for players to get adjusted but when players come from la liga it's usually a different story they usually smash it here. I. e mata, cazorla, michu, fabregas, arteta ect. and hits would be the same.
3) his attitude for the game is incredible if arsenal don't just sign him up then someone else will it's Ridiculus, this seemed so close to happening and now so far

Fabregas came when he was 15 and didn't start straight away. By the way not every spanish player does well Reyes anyone.
In my opinion we need a Suarez type striker a finisher with some speed and aggression after all that's why the prem is the most entertaining in the world. Higuain doesn't excite me and not starting is hardly an excuse when your competition 'Benzema' isn't exactly setting the world alight

To be honest I would have either! And so would most fans.

I don't buy this "good finisher" tag associated with Suarez. Check the stats. The proportion of chances that he puts away of all the chances created for him either by himself or the team is ridiculously low. Basically with Liverpool you have an entire team playing for him, but he is just too wasteful. Plus he really wouldn't help Arsenal's cause with all the trouble that comes with him. Personally I wouldn't want him mainly for his troubles but considering the fee and the value he would add as a player it wouldn't be worth it.

Higuian is a great player and if he signs for us you'll regret to have ever doubted his talents. He is second to benzema who scored 22 goals and got 18 assists last season the only reason he is preferred is because of his footballing relationship with ronaldo. rooney is a great striker and proven but isn't played there because rvp does so well.

just to clarify I didn't say every player, I said "It's usually a different story" so please don't put words in my mouth its as sloppy and stupid and in line with a lazy british sporting journalist.
but if you want to be picky cesc was 16 when he joined from barca. here are a few more players that have come in from la liga. aguero, alonso, the silva, Garcia, reina, Torres, Michu.

Please Don't misunderstand what I'm saying, i'm not saying that just because higuian comes from la liga he will therefore be amazing in the prem cause on that basis alone it would be a very outlandish and stupid comment. what i'm saying is he will be amazing in the prem because of his ability, skill and mentality he would be world class for us, he just dosent want to play second fiddle and waste his career on the bench with part time apperances which to me says his going to be clinical wherever he goes and I for one hope it's Arsenal and think 25 million for a proven world class goal scorer is very reasonable these days compared to other ridiculously hyped up players out there.

Aretea came from Barcelona's academy and was a graduate he then went on to play for Rangers and Real Sociedad until he finally joined Everton the rest is history.

Higuain out scored Benzema in the league and all competitions making less appearances. Please get off Suarez's nuts fans! He was had on prolific season at Liverpool a top class talent he is but to pick him strictly as our number CF over a proven established poacher with an outstanding record for both club and Country to which he keeps Tevez and Aguero out of is ridiculous. Higuain stays in the box and scores goals Arsenal need a poacher like him and he can score on his own at the head of an attack.

i was just making a point and obviously not a bad point as that's the only fault you could pick out.
fact. arteta also played in the french league but started at barcalonas academy. yes I can read to lol

Real could also agree to a 20m+Higuain for Suarez deal, that'd be a win win for us too.

Suarez scored 48 or something in one season at Ajax and he did score 30 last season for Liverpool so your wrong
