But we already have a "competent" manager, who says on Griezmann:
"Being on the left isn't bad for left footers" - what can you expect from a brain like that???????????????

Please read my post, or read what Valverde said about Griezmann and not vice versa...
I might be a 'dumbass' (with a slightly different spelling) but in this unimportant case it's your reaction that could imply your present mental state...

My bad, I thought this is another post about squad backing the manager.

Excepted. We make mistakes and sometimes even try to read too fast.

Felix would have been wonderful but he is playing so good under SIMEONE, who knows how he would play under VALVERDE ?

It has only been 1 game, Suarez took a while to settle in, its normal especially for players in their mid to late 20s. For Felix and guys his age, it is easier to adapt to new surroundings, but he hasn't even played in La Liga yet. I remember watching Cuenca is preseason in 2011 and thinking he was going to be amazing but it was only preseason and I don't even know where he is these days, Felix has done nothing yet. Griezmann has everything needed to be a great player for us, as does De Jong who didn't have a great game either

To be fair the board didn't know Ney wanted out till June. Had they known earlier I am 100% positive they would have ditched Griezmann and went after Neymar.

OK. Whatever you say. If his shooting foot is the left, then he should be playing as a right winger. Same as Messi, Dembele and M.Salah as an examples. Left winger shoots with the right foot. And that kind of a players are scorers. Player, who plays as a left winger and shoots with the left in most cases is not a big time scorer. He is more like a Left Attacking Midfielder. He prefers to just throw the ball in the penalty area and stay away from the heat.We don't need that kind of midfielder, because that position is already filled with Alba and Firpo. Yes, on paper they are listed as a left backs, but they both like to attack from the left side and create situations for the forwards. That is why, the board is still in negotiations with PSG for Neymar. He is a left winger, who knows his position and can shoot equally well with both feet.
The whole signing of Griezmann was unnecessary. It was big mistake from Barto and it will come back as a very costly one. A player who cost 120-130 million euros can not find his position on the field and you are blaming the coach for that? In the pre-season games, Valverde has tried him as a striker and on both wings ... with no positive result for the team.Barcelona needs LEFT WINGER and CENTRAL FORWARD to play alongside Leo. Dembele, Coutinho and Griezmann does not want to play at the left. Suarez is a total mess. He is just watching the game from close distance. It is up to the board and the president to find the right players for the system .... and to find another coach, who does not rely that heavy on his already washed-up veterans.
That is the main problem of Barcelona. We just buy NAMES and very, very expensive ones. Instead of looking for the positions we need to fill and upgrade. Damn it. I will prefer one or even two trophy-less seasons, but to rebuild this team with young talents like De Jong and J.Firpo and get back to the top of La Liga, Europe and the World.
And you are absolutely right. very soon, it will turn like " Coutinho - 2 ". It is just wasting our money in vain.
Havertz, De Jong and Arthur are all central midfielders, but they can play together with no problem, because in front of them he has lined Neymar, Martinez and Messi. All 3 of them are top scorers. They don't need an attacking midfielder behind to feed them with the ball. That line-up is a lot better than the current rotations we have.
OK. If it is the left, why then he can not play as a left winger? Why he can not play as a right winger? Why he can not play as a central-forward? God damn this guy. He just don't know his position, and we have paid what? ... 120 millions for him?

Majority of the fan base want him to replace Suarez down the middle.

So we buy Coutinho to play in midfield to replace Iniesta, but he fails there so we play him at LW where he is not naturally suited and unsurprisingly still fails. So we put Griezmann at LW to replace Coutinho who was not even meant to be there in the first place.
