Yes, so Griezmann is possibly better at producing tangibles and being a more reliable player to ultimately directly influence the score. Which might make people feel like he's a better signing, but IMO it really isn't when you're always going to be working double time trying to find him a place in the side with other stubborn dudes, who will not give way even if it's with net benefit to the team. While Hazard at least is playing in his intended spot since he came in and is only missing the right counterpart on the other side.
Neither are actually terrible deals, but both are deemed so due to unfavorable circumstances with which players themselves have little to do with.
Barca need a board who will make a sporting project, on the assumption of either razed ground and all amigos binned, or diplomacy, which will free up the RF position for Griez.
Real need to stop pretending Benzema and a big name LW will produce enough, cut playing PR games pretending Bale is worth anything only to fend off Marca bitching and whining how he's leeching off the club's coffers (highlighting their extension decision that was terrible in hindsight in 2017 made only as a reward rather than with future or actual sporting assessment in mind) thereby keeping better RWs out of the side, and open up about the need for RW scorer, which will allow Hazard to be a net benefit.
Both players are good signings on the assumption changes are made to accommodate them. Barca fail about 5x more at doing that bit though, because you could have Coutinho and Dembele both serve their intended purpose if appropriate sacrifices were made, and there's zero sign this will happen. Real at least are keeping up the pretense of waiting for 2021 where many players will be out of contract and Mbappe will have 1 year left. There's planning to it. No planning by Barto and his cronies on the other hand to drive their own transfer operations.
