Who would be interested in buying him? Only PSG and Man Utd I think. Even those two clubs don?t play with a position suited for Griezmann.

You're welcome
Piques involvement still pisses me off. And Umtiti supporting him.

Best we can do is some sort of a swap with Griezmann+Cash for Neymar if Barto still has a hardon for him. Griezmann would fit in perfectly to that team with Neymar gone. I don't see him fitting into any other team.

He's had his best season and peak around 2015 and 2016, but has always been considered to be a budget Messi, who is more comfortable with free roaming. He was praised surely and even said he was on Messi and Ronaldo's level. However after 2016, he quickly regressed since his potential was never known to be that high. He wasn't even relevant anymore. He can be utterly inconsistent, and alot of flaws that doesnt help, notably his lack of pace, acceleration, lack of shooting power, one-footed, average dribbling. Stats backed that he was on a steady decline, which boggles my mind to why Barcelona went for him and he was never the right fit anyway.
Ever since we wanted him, Barca fans tried to hype him like how they did with Coutinho but never worked out. He won't become a 20-30 goal season and even so, it would be stat padding against the lower tier teams. I highly doubt so since he is way past his prime.

suarez is in rapid decline and it should be easier for anoyne to be better at him yesterday,what did griezmann done exactly yesterday? saying griezmann would have been better in suarez chances is the same as me saying that i would win the lottery if i wrote winning numbers. yesterday even one legged suarez ran into the box,controlled the ball nicely and took a shoot that was blocked,something that griezmann haven't done in quite some time. no wonder then that we are praising his movements and work ethic and calling it class...

Always thought he would be a bad fit, said so on many occasions, and the reality only confirms this, maybe even worse.

Yeah I wouldn't call that destroyed. He had some decent dribbles, but never made anything at the end of it. You could tell his shots had zero power and were all straight at the keeper, even from this video. The game against Portugal was worse.
Then again all his notable "performances" were 3 years ago. He was completely forgotten until Barcelona decided to simp for him.
If Suarez and Messi had passed to him more all season I absolutely guarantee he'd have a decent goals return. Doesn't mean he'd suddenly be a good fit here or that he was a good purchase. But we all see it week in week out, they categorically avoid passing to him even in goalscoring positions. Suarez not feeding him yesterday for an easy chance and choosing to shoot was criminal.
I dont think it's as bad as you think when it comes to passing to him. It probably is there but sometimes griezmann is making those runs to move defenders around and he knows it himself and sometimes he's looking for the pass because you can see him get a little frustrated. I think Suarez was always shooting yesterday even if messi was in griezmanns position.

We need to sell this guy asap while he still has some value. Ansu and even braithwaite are a better fit for this team

It's true. Instead of Arthur sell Griezmann and then sign new midfielder and throw Raki/Busi/Vidal out.
But I have to admit, Arthur's been overwhelming lately. Nothing special.

Who will play in midfield then?
And who will defend?
Riki, Arthur and Frenkie? Hmm...
Arthur is bad and injured all the time.
Riki is a kid who played 100 minutes for the first team. His defending is comical.
You would enter into a CL matches with 1 decent and semi-experienced midfielder.
In 2006, our midfield:
Deco 29, Van Bommel 29, Edmilson 30
2009:
Xavi 29, Iniesta 25, Busi 21
2011:
Xavi 31, Iniesta 27, Busi 23
2015:
Iniesta 31, Rakitic 27, Busi 27
Now look at this midfield:
Arthur 24, Frenkie 23, Riki 21
Average age:
2006: 29,3
2009: 25
2011: 27
2015: 28,3
2020: 22,6
Playing oldies won't get you too far.
But neither will playing too young players.
I know that people are biased towards youngsters, but you need to throw 1-2 players aged 30+ into that mix.
Youth brings enery and hunger.
But age usually bring calmness, experience and tactical wisdom.
Unless if your 32 years old players are frightened choir boys. Then they aren't bringing any calmness.

I said in the message to sign new midfielder, so he would be playing the most minutes obv. Arthur would.be in rotation. Rather Arthur than those oldies.
And it's not like we could get rid of all three oldies at the same time. It would be process.
