It would be a massive comedown. Unless they're top class I wouldn't bother signing a different attacker.

IMO there is no other attacker besides Griezmann we could bring in instead so i would try to get a real world class midfielder, play Cou, Messi, Dembele up front and hope for the best. But that won't happen because we're stuck with Suarez since Griezmann would probably be the only realistic (so no Mbappe or Salah) player good who would/could bench Suarez so it'll be 4-4-2 again or Suarez pushed to he wing where he sucks even more.
If we dont get Griezmann and Suarez continues getting worse it'll be all on Messi again and next year we will discuss the 200M strikers we can't afford unless we hope he can score all our goals for the next 2-3 years.
Or maybe Dembele can score 30+
Even if Suarez will drop from 25 goals to 15-18, we will still have Coutinho who will add 10-15 goals, so it will be enough for La liga probably.
Messi 30-40
Suarez 15
Coutinho 10-15
Other players 15-30
Own goal 10
That's enough.

If Suarez drops to 15 goals, he will bring down other's tally as well if you have seen how he snuffs out the entire attack.
Suarez drops to 15, you then need to also subtract 10 from all other tally's.

Yeah we would rely on Messi like i said.
The thing is that we would be stuck with a 4-4-2 with Suarez/Messi in the middle for years. If Suarez doesn't step it up (link up play, physical shape, workrate) it all will continue to look like this season.

I guess that's good for Atletico.. What are we going to do, though? No world class midfielder available.

go all in for Eriksen i guess. 2 years left on his contract so its possible, Thiago also an option

Some guys said today that Sport wrote that Tottenham is asking 190M for Eriksen.
EPL is filthy rich, Tottenham always asks too much and Eriksen is one of top Cms in the world.
150M is probably a minimum for him.

I doubt Levy would ask 190m for a player with 2 years left on his contract if that player did want out, Eriksen can just let his contract run down and leave on a free. Spurs would rinse a PL rival but i dont think they'd be that ridiculous with a team abroad

We'll probably never know. Eriksen has always admired Barca and was linked to us a lot when he was at Ajax. I think Pochettino will allow him to leave if he asks for it and Levy might then not be too much of an ass.
If not then they risk letting him go for half the price in a year and potentially risk him going to a Premier League rival that will pay him much more and be able to win trophies.
