Antoine Griezmann?

The one area our squad lacks in an attacking sense is a naturally left footed, pacey winger. Griezmann is currently the best option that I am aware of in Europe and would compliment our other attacking players like Aguero, De Bruyne, Sterling and Iheanacho perfectly.

Silva and Nasri I think will be used more in a central midfield three rotating with Fernandinho, Gundogan, hopefully Pogba if we can pull that one off and Delph.
 
Exactly what we need for when/ if Aguero is injured. We have needed for a long time a back up striker but one of such ability the bench/ second choice is not an option so would play elsewhere when Aguero is playing. A replacement for Navas and Bony!!

To be honest if you wanted an out and out left winger who can chip in with goals and works hard, i would go for the other lad, Yannick Ferreira Carrasco.
The three bonuses here are that
a He is much more of a winger than Greizmann
b He would cost much less
c He is Belgian and him working with KdB would be extra beneficial.

If we could get Denayer to work on the left that would be a nice Belgian block down the left flank.
 
If the reports in Mirror today is true, that money is no object this summer, then we should throw everything at this kid.

Apparently has a release clause of 60m, he's left footed, fast as fuck, can play either wing and play through the middle when Aguero is injured.

Scores goals for fun, he's 25, outstanding technique, he'd be absolutely perfect for us. Hopefully he might be getting bored of defending the edge of his own box for 85 minutes and fancies a change of scene. Who knows, but if Pep's got a blank cheque book, he should be going all in for him.

No chance we'll have a blank cheque book. I'm sure the transfer kitty will be substantial but it's definitely going to be finite. Reading through the Pogba thread it seems we're unable to afford him and are more likely to spend £30-40m's on 3-5 players than £60-100m's on a couple.

Saying that I do agree we need a forward who can play in multiple positions, rather than a striker to sit on the bench. Aubameyang/Griezmann/Sanchez the three big name ones that spring to mind, but all seem pretty unobtainable unless for silly money which I'm not convinced we'll spend.

City can afford to buy whoever Mansour wants but FFP means they have to work to a budget; that budget can be stretched by buying young(ish) players and having them sign long contracts.

The Chinese investment virtually makes FFP a non entity for us ....add in the incoming premiership tv deal and outgoing transfers too...that is why Pep has been told spend what you need

Not sure why Pep would not rate him. In my humble opinion he would be one of the best acquisitions out there at present. If he is on the move and we are serious about been a serious contender over the next few years we should be in for him unless of course we have even bigger fish to fry.
 
Unbelievable player.

Aguero, Griezmann and De Bruyne as a front three with Pep as manager - that's Champion League winning quality.

Sadly I don't think Griezmann will leave Atletico, but I'd love him here.
