Him being hummiliated or him runing down to defence?
Him in attack offers nothing to enjoy in.
As I said, I dislike him. But still he deserved a chance with Suarez being injured. Not Vidal.

Atleti must have kept the real Antoine Griezmann and sent us Saul in a curly wig. That's the only way I can make sense of what I'm seeing out there from him.

It was never a wise signing but Barca is trying to fulfill an empty spot with money. The board knows by now what you and I know on whose the only one capable of having that spot.

A question for guys who watched him more often at Atletico:
Was he always THIS slow?
I think that he was never a speedy guy, but was decent.
But he has already lost a lot of pace.
Maybe he is one of those players who are hit with a physical decline at the age of 28.
Science also says that an absolute peak of pacey wingers is up to the age of 27.
Also, there was an article which I posted a few weeks ago which said that Griezz's numbers have declined a lot in his last Atletico year.
Now, my theory is, what if:
1. He is already physically declining since he will be 29 in March?
2. And since he played for 5 years under Simeone at Atletico, who is a very physically demanding coach... and since he played 50+ matches for Atletico in 5 years (257 in total) plus 74 matches for France in that time.
That means that he played around 66 full matches for 5 seasons in a row.
Imo, there is a high possibility that his body is severly drained after this and that it could have speeded up his physical decline.
(Look at Rakitic after being overplayed for 5 years in a row. He can barely run and move today, as if he is 45.)
Remember that Arda was also only 28 when he came from Atletico and he was more or less finished in that age.
So, a question is: what if we have paid 120m for a guy who is more or less done and on a fast physical decline?
** There was one counter on the left yesterday, he recived a through ball.
He had 2-3 meters of advantage infront of defenders, but he was caught after 10 meters.
And passed to Dembele.
Commentators said: he didn't even try to run into the box, as if he knew that we will get caught. Lol.
We bought another turtle slow attacker.
This one can't even dribble.
Plus his finishing is declining for 2 years, according to stats.
