6 months earlier he was playing left wing for Bristol City...
Actually he was getting played at LB for Bristol City. Initially he was playing on the wing but got moved back.

I hope that we did have first refusal on Higuain and chose not to take him because:
A) we have better in the pipeline
B) he is about to fall apart physically (not ITK, just hoping)
If not, Arsenal have got a frighteningly good front line shaping up.
Did you not watch any recent u21 games? Against who did he play left mid in the recent one? Missed the first game due to suspension, 2nd game lb, I never see the Norway game though.For us he has but not England. Like I said he plate left midfield at least once in the euro 2013 (at least that's where he started the game) and he played on the left of a forward 3 at a previous tournament
If we had first refusal we'd have just established that he won't sign for us because we can't match his wages and or can't offer him CL - probably from his agent - and had to move on because we'd have known our first refusal wasn't worth shit when the player didn't want to come to us
A) what better could we have in the pipeline than a 25 year old elite level striker? Messi?
B) At 25 is he likely to be falling apart physically any time soon?
Let's face it if he signs for Arsenal he's gonna be an immense signing - that being said they already had an immense striker 2 seasons ago and we were still ahead of them by a distance before we fucked it all up
Must...resist...obvious...jokes...
Higuain..meh.
I could score goals up front for Real in the Spanish League.
48 appearances 8 goals, 4 assists in the Champions League.
More fool Arsenal

Dear God.
Red shoes, no knickers. The brazen B'stard is advertising!
Last time I saw shoes like that, Michael Jackson was Moonwalking in them!

EDIT: hmm, turns out perhaps I should have made that joke... Spam
A) Audere est facere
B) Ledders?
Seriously, you are probably right: we could not have competed on wages but I seriously hope there are some decent irons in the fire because Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are gearing up for a decent run at the top 4 next season (looking at what Liverpool are doing in the transfer market - bear in mind Rodgers' ability to find cheap Spanish talent!) The Mancs (x2) are going to stay there or thereabouts and we could be left well off the pace without similar investment. So, I hope we have the signings on the way. Messi? Perhaps not. Equal to or better than Higuain? They do exist...
Well perhaps you should watch him for yourself and form your own opinion. I don't know how good he'll turn out but I'm prepared to give him his chance. Besides not performing for a team managed by Stuart Pearce is no barometer to judge a player byNo didn't watch any but haven't said he's been bad for u21's. The website I read report on had him as left mid in a 352 (this could be wrong tho, but who ever really know the formation) all reviews of the games had him down as performing poorly tho (read more than a few that rated him at 5/10) and this is only against u21 opposition. Dont get me wrong I'd love him to prove me wrong and be a success but everything I've seen and heard from him tells me he won't...
