You don't need a good man-manager to teach you how to finish simple one on ones such as the ones Chokein's missed in 3 consecutive finals for Argentina. A CF of his calibre should be able to finish off those chances, even if he has a monkey as the coach.

Yes and scored before finals without problems, so it has nothing to do with his ability to finish. Look at the video posted earlier here about his goals in Serie A, they are not easy tap ins, many are scored from tight angles and after great movement. He has similar issue as Suarez to some extent, they can score an impossible goal every game, but if its very simple one on one in a very important game, they just overthink it.
Majority of this forum has 2 reasons why they cannot be objective at all about Higuain: 1) they are Messi fanboys who blame him for the chokes in finals (well its actually entire team to blame, not Higuain, its not like Messi has shined in those finals either) 2) He has Real Madrid backround (which is reasonable reason, but still not enough to be blind about someones capability).
Higuain was by far the best goalscorer in Serie A last season, with this purchase did they not only make themselves so much better vs competition in local league (similar behaviour like Bayern is doing in Germany), but also weakened their main rival.
Great purchase and if they can afford it, why da hell not.

Robben used to be a prime choker, he then scored the winning goal in a CL final.
There's no such thing as a "curse of eternal choking", just a bunch of consecutive final defeats.
He might just aswell play another final and win it this time.

Hope it's for Argentina with Leo! He owes one for Leo for all the heart ache he caused him!

He is a good player, maybe he can be like robbed and overcome choking later in his career

Also how is he a "joke of a player"? He is a proven lethal striker on la liga and serie a. His last season was especially good because Napoli are not a top club and serie a is hard to score in

Robben chocked? He chocked in that 2012 final when he missed the penalty in ET but in 2010 he was the best player out there, only Inter had two walls in front of him and gave Chivu a terrible time, something Messi was incapable of a few weeks earlier, while in the WC Final he was great again only Casillas stopped him.
But in 2012... the whole Bayern team chocked, they were expecting to sweep the floor with Chelsea at home.

Higuain had 3 trophies in 3 consecutive years in his boot, all failed miserably considering at least one would've been fine, he missed all 3!!!
