Antoine Griezmann

[PW]

I'd love Griezmann but not at cost of Kun?

Fully agree, Griezmann although a fine player is not in the same league as a twenty nine year old Aguero, never mind when he was first signed at twenty two. I can see that he doesnt really fit the Pep style, but goals are goal and this fella has been prolific. On a side not i found an article about the swap, which states his ex and son both live in Madrid, so its not beyond the realms of possibility that he might be interested the move.

Haha ok bad turn of phrase that was.

 

[BerkshireBlue]

I'm really not convinced with Greizmann at all. I don't think he can score hatfuls or create loads of assists either. To be honest there isn't many top level strikers out there at the moment so the alternatives are on the low side.

 

[The Doctor]

There has never been anything from the player, the manager or the club that suggests Kun will not see out his contract.
At 32 when he returns to Argentina he'll go as an all time hero. I wish the press would just f%^& off on this one.

I'll second that! Media crap!

 

[DontLookBackInAnger]

If the deal is Aguero and 25m I think I would pass.

 

[City_Sean]

I’m not sure if he’s the right guy to come in if we do sell Aguero. Someone like Mertens would have a much bigger impact (the only sticking point with him is his age)

 

[bluemoon32]

Only harry kane,break the bank in summer..

I rate him highly but not convinced he'd suit our way of playing

 

[Neville Kneville]

I wouldn't swap Aguero in two years, for Greizmann now.

Like with Sanchez, I'd have Greizmann as an 'extra' player, but not to replace anyone.

When we replace Aguero, it should be with someone on a potentially top of the world level, like Jesus & Sane not one who has already peaked below that, like Sanchez or Greizmann.

I totally agree and was thinking about this earlier if Aguero is rumoured to be valued at 60m people outside the club must rate Sanchez as a better player(65m in the summer with 1 year left on a contract over 60 with 2 or 3)and personally that just seems laughable to me, maybe I just haven't seen enough of Sanchez...(not likely to now!)

The way I look at it, is how much would Aguero cost us today, if he'd done at Utd or Real Madrid, or even Liverpool, what he's done at City ?

Fucking sight more than Sanchez, who is basically a hired gun.

I completely agree.

Edit:

The one caveat would be if Aguero asks to leave.

60m will buy you 1 leg

 

[levets]

So would I...

Greizman is nowhere near Agüero’s level, nowhere near.

Ohhhh please don't get me wrong I'm not suggesting for a minute I think he is worth 60, but forget united, Real Madrid or Liverpool if he was playing for Spurs I bet they would be looking for atleast double the quoted 60m. As I have said before I would be shocked if at the end of the season in the team of the year City have more players than any one of united, Chelsea, Liverpool or Spurs

 

[normskih]

I wouldn't swap him. I agree with you, Greizman is nowhere near Aguero's ability. Bleeding cheek of it.

 

[SPIDERBOY]

So would I...

Greizman is nowhere near Agüero’s level, nowhere near.

To be fair he's actually just above his level.

Aguero is 1.73m and Griezmann is 1.75.

made me laugh

 

[bobom]

Mods, can we get the man's name spelled correctly in the thread title, please?

Sad but oh so true.
Finally people are starting to talk about this in the media though.
Think it was after his Newcastle hat-trick a pundit was pondering how he'd never had an individual award (that had required votes), made team of the year etc.
We really must put alot of people's noses out of joint.

Since 2000 the PL manager of the season award has been won by the manager of the champions 13 of the 16 years, 2 of the 3 times when City won it and the other time.... Redknapp won it at Spurs for keeping City outside the top 4!
