Antoine Griezmann

[01cravend]

Who does he replace in Barca's starting 11?

Suarez is on the wane

 

[doobyedoobye]

Suarez is on the wane

He's got 23 league goals this season so far?

 

[01cravend]

4 goals in the last 2 seasons combined(19 apps) in the champions league where they have to compete though. Compared to 13 in 15/16.

He's not as effective wide, assuming that's where the new signing will primarily play. He's a great player but we shouldn't go for him, unless Aguero leaves, but we'd be downgrading in that scenario.

Agree with this in totality :)

if we sign him up I wouldn't want to see him out on the wings. He is one of the closest things that Pep would like to have for the CF role. If he signs up, I still want us to have Aguero in the squad for at least one more season to be double sure that we don't loose our best striker and then see Griezmann flop.

Even though he is not as effective on the wings, I can still see him and Jesus getting games on the wings which I don't expect to affect our performances too much.

I feel we have been lacking that edge ariealy in our attack, particularly Aguero and Griezmann is very good in this respect. He should make our attack more dynamic easily.

If we want to win the Champions League we need world class finishing. We can't keep wasting chances like we do.

Wholeheartedly agree. We are a big chance creating machine and we have to do whatever is possible to take our finishing to the next level.

Think he would be a great signing. Seems a team player and has a good work ethic

 

[Gabriel]

Incredible engine and a hard little S.O.B as well. If we can't have him, I hope he stays in Spain.

 

[waspish]

His quick thinking ball control passing is up there with the best in Europe for me.

Agreed.

Watching the Arse game last night I thought Griezmann looked good. I've not been that impressed with him but he played well last night, his movement and touch and running with the ball were all excellent. I think he'd be a superb fit for us.

But are we even interested?

Would love him here!! World class player

Griezmann is good, but good enough? I would like to see one or two of Isco/Mahrez/Mbappe at City.

Isco or mbappe yes please but I would prefer greizmann to mahrez Marv

 

[nmc]

Not really a Griezmann fan - always thought he was over hyped but was impressed last night. If he could have got his shots away quicker he’d have scored a couple last night. His link up play with Costa was good - which was doubly good because Costa was a right greedy twat at times,

 

[Ken92]

Isco or mbappe yes please but I would prefer greizmann to mahrez Marv

yep agree with that one.Mbappe is a future ballon dor in the making, has really incredible composure for his age and great speed and dribbling ability.Would become a true monster under Guardiola, but Griez would be a nice one too

you have to consider how many more chances Sterling has got and in overall how much more city scores compared to Atletico, we play a totally different football and one of the best one in the world.Griez hasnt had his best season and neither has Atletico overall

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Yes please.

The last striker we signed from Atletico didn't turn out too badly...

I just love his link-up play and intelligence.

He also seems to fit our profile brief of seemingly coming across as a nice guy?

He was certainly loyal when he decided to stay another year and say no to United.
