Antoine Griezmann

Greizman is a class player but comes across as a bit of twat in the Lingard/Pogba mould. Hopefully if we do sign him somebody will have a word

Applying Pep's terminology - Greizman is not a "nice" player.

He otherwise fits Pep's mould - not sure if we'll heavily pursue him though - price and personality argue against.

I'm not sure we'll be in for him based on Sanchez.

Strikes me as more of a United, Real or Barca type signing.

Without a release clause I think he would demand at least an extra £60 million, but this does not mean you save it and he is cheap. It simply means agent fees, wages and signing on fee probably take it.

I think we would go for someone like Werner who will probably cost similar in transfer fee, but everything else would be more inline with how we operate.

The Pep factor could be huge here, as he will have watched what Pep can do for players during his time in the Germany. However, Bayern and the willingness of all German teams to sell them their best players may be a big opponent in this.

Nobody and I mean nobody is on par never mind more of a twat than that rat faced prick lingaard. Just his name infuriates me and his face and f@$king Molly rock makes me want to turn into that taz cartoon character and tear my whole street to pieces.

Sorry, it is probably a bit unfair to compare him to JLingz!

Hmm

Hmm

How would be a 'shock' they link him with a move every week..

 

[cadds92]

Hmm

I wouldn’t rule it out completely.

I still think we will look more towards Dybala though with him being 24 and maybe even more of a false 9 Pep style forward.

That’s if Sergio was to leave.

Griezmann is attractive because his buyout in the summer is €90m, which in today’s market is very good value.

I think if there's one position im happy for us to go for a slightly more arrogant player it would be a striker. Especially if that person is replacing the legend of Aguero as could be the case.

If you look at nice guy Werner for example who has been suggested, he had to be substituted earlier in the season away at Besiktas because he started feeling dizzy from the atmosphere the fans created.

Griezmann has played against the best and has earned his reputation. You need a lot of self belief to succeed at the top and he has that.

And to be fair, if there's one manager on the planet capable of taming egos insofar as they're harmful for team success - Pep is that manager. If the player is bought and it turns out he's a problem - he's soon sold - no longer our problem.
