Eh?
It's got nothing to do with price. I would just rather have a striker coming into his prime that will grow with the team and stay with us long term, over a striker who is leaving his prime and has 2 seasons left at the top level max. This is not to say I don't want Villa but given a choice it would be Higuain every time for the reasons stated.
It has everything to do with price, that is the bottom line and that's why I asked the question. If we were spending £25 million on Higuain we wouldn't have the money to improve our team in other positions where we need quality players. Sure I would probably choose Higuain if money was no issue, in fact I would probably choose Messi if price wasn't an issue. But if you are evaluating transfers without thinking about the financial side of them you are just living in Lala land. The salient question is whether you would choose to get Villa and Paulinho for £25 million, or Higuain for the same price. I would definitely choose the former.
