Higuain is obviously no great shakes for Argentina but has been an absolute monster in calcio ever since Napoli brought him over from Real Madrid.

That was an amazing transfer for Juve. And bullshit for Serie A overall, since swooping on him and Pjanic in the same summer handicapped their two immediate rivals for the crown and thereby consolidated their power even further.

So, no, it was a tremendous piece of business and one of the reasons why they're in a position to do things like this right now.
