Griezmann is being bought out of pure status reasons. The board's got a need to present a real star player.
I have no idea how we're supposed to balance our team.
1. To the left Dembélé would do a better job. I feel he should be given a chance after having a full pre-season with the team.
2. As a CF he'd probably be lost with Messi on the pitch. And what would happen to Suárez?
3. Playing him as RW means Messi false nine and Suárez either plays to the left or bench.
4. 4-4-2 as a right mid would mean our left flank is all about Alba because Valverde would never play:
Griezmann, Frenkie, Busi/Arthur, Dembouz
Messi, Suarez
The difficulty to predict how we'll play is due to Valverde.
Because we know that Busi, Rakitic, Suárez and Messi are undisputed starters, and that doesn't leave a lot of possibility for innovations.
If you buy someone for 120M it should be clear what position the player is supposed to reinforce.
