Sari will probably play him as a keeper
With his physical presence he should make a decent CB. Then Luiz can play his preferred position: anywhere he fking likes

Indeed. He was here last night, surely all that was needed was a medical on a player who was presumably already fit, given he was playing in Italy. How long does a medical take?

Doesn't that depend on whether Spurs were trying to sign him first?

Does seem a strange one, My guess is that Sari had no intentions of starting Higuain against Spurs tonight.

Think it was all due to milan wanting to wait to do their end of the paperwork till after they had signed their new guy from Genoa. Higuan was in London Tuesday night and had already had the medical according to a few sources

It's a slam dunk for you guys tonight.

Unfortunately it doesn't matter which of us gets through as City will toy with either.

I fear you're probably right. Two good performances in a season seems a bit beyond us at the moment.

Chelsea was founded in 1905 so it does have a bit of history if he means that. I don't see why that is funny.

Maybe he means history as in winning lots of things ? In which case we have plenty of that too. The fact that has occurred , primarily, in the last 15 years is irrelevant. If you want to believe it is relevant then you also need to laugh at clubs who won lots of stuff many years ago and nothing , or little, since. After all , most sports have eras of domination by certain teams which change with time.

Maybe the WUMs can explain exactly why Chelsea don't have history compared to theirs - after looking the word up in the dictionary of course.

Relax, I never said they didn't have history, those are your words.

But if you really think a player would go to Chelsea on loan because of their history, then you are exceptionally naive.

Regardless, he's a top class striker and I'm sure if you sign him permanently he'll go on to be a 'Chelsea legend', whatever that is.

I was actually replying to the general theme rather than you - that being Chelsea have no history. Not my words, those of others above.

No player goes to any club, anywhere, because of their history . He mentioned history as one of the attributes, he didn't only say that word. You'd have to be pretty naïve to think he did, right ?

Well, obviously.

Modern day footballers generally move for money, playing opportunities, and the chance of winning big trophies.

Sarri will play him regularly, and there's a good chance he'll win the Europa League, and maybe even pick up a few quid in the process wink So like I said it's a good move.

The history quote above is ridiculous at best, this "attribute" wouldn't have crossed his mind for a second.

Its just the usual tribal chant / insult that dumb football fans say IMHO

Higuan is hardly likely to say "I'm getting on a bit and £300k/week was enticing, plus London is great for shopping for the missus". Players say the usual PR blessed platitudes all the time

Be refreshing if he did say that. Almost everything any player says nowadays is scripted by the PR team.

I wouldn't rise to the history jibe.

I try not to but just wonder why people keep saying it. As Adam says , it's a bit dumb.
