Griezman incoming ??

Great just great ...we have an ageing squad , a divided dressing room with Valverde’s untouchables ( . Rakitic/Suarez / Roberto ) against those on the outside looking in ( Samedo /Malcom/ Vidal ) the two oddities ( Coutinho and Dembele) ...

Then we have the WHOLE dressing room and staff against the idea of buying Griezman !!

This won’t end well ..

Barça need a proper center forward to replace Suarez not someone who usually occupies the same positions as Messi.

Terrible uninspired siging by barça incompetent board if true.

If we stick to the 433 then the most logical setups are:

1) Suarez - Messi - Griezmann.

Messi as false 9, Suarez and Griezmann overlap cutting in from both inside forward positions. Defensively, Suarez and Griezmann work off the ball for the 7KM man. Dembele is first sub for whoever tires first and first rotation. This option will basically look like what [MENTION=23863]Tackle[/MENTION] posted above when in possession.

2) Suarez - Griezmann - Messi

What we had this season but Griezmann replacing Suarez as first forward and Suarez "graduating" to the Henry/Villa on the way out AML role.

I can't see anything with Messi at AMR and Griezmann at AML working. We lose all of Griezmann's best attributes doing that. But option 1) would be great, and even better if Dembele gets his schtick together and Suarez realises he is now an old man in the eyes of the football gods (which is Messi and erm, Rakitic wife).

There's no one else on the market man. Literally no one else.

Especially now Jovic is gone. The ManChild is the best option on the market, and the only world class forward who is available.

Best option for me (and I been repeating this for a few weeks) is Griezmann with Maxi Gomez as plan B(rute).

Realistically, it's probably going to be Griezmann---Suarez---Messi, with Griezmann replacing Coutinho and doing the same role that Coutinho had.

Dembele to replace whoever is tired.

Which would be the worst option for maximising Griezmann. So Valverde will probably do it.

On the other hand, the sample size is quite small at 792minutes, but this is how incredibly well Griezmann performs at MR in a 442. Most of those minutes were this past season too.

So if Ernesto has memoirs of Willian, well there is another option.

Griezmann won't play on the left, he hasn't done that since he was at Sociedad. A left-footer on the left wing would be so limited and a huge waste.

It'll be:

Dembele - Griezmann
Messi
