Antoine Griezmann

If Messi stays beyond this season then Greizmann and Coutinho need to be sold. Their football is not compatible. If I had to choose between Cou and Greizmann I would pick Cou only because he can operate a bit deeper in midfield to some extent (like he does with Brazil). We are the only top team in Europe playing with so many similar types of players in attack. Most teams use wingers, a 9 and interior midfielders. But most of this circus exists to accommodate Messi. His weird positioning and lack of output defensively is causing major problems, and then of course most players defer to him most of the time.

"Because Messi" narrative makes no sense when both Coutinho and Griezmann get so many opportunities inside the box throughout the season. What does being out of position have to do with that? Lol.

They all have to be sold.

Whatever sht you just came up with there has nothing to do with the point i was making. Messi, Greizmann and Coutinho can't coexist together imo. Three number 10's than don't compliment each other. It fucks up the attack. Its pointless

Greizmann is a limited player. He wants to operate in a specific position. You could put him as a 9 and out of 10 chances he would probably only score 1 because he is playing out of his 'comfort zone'. Same with Isco, James and similar players. As soon as you put them out of their position, they turn to shit. Which is why i said if Messi stays he should be sold. He is good centrally as a ss but mostly shit everywhere else.

Messi shouldnt even stay, cant be watching a tactics of playing everything through a 34 year old Messi again.

Well , he said in interview that he wanted to left after 8-2 against Bayern.

Maybe after this season he will think same and leave.

After Messi 3 highest paid players in team are Griezmann,Coutinho,Busqets.

3 players that should leave.

Imagine how much salary cap will be stable after these clowns would leave

We really need to move him on. He?s been a little better recently, but will always be a bad fit. We?re obviously not getting our money back, and I know swap deals are rare, but personally I?d be trying to swap him for either an actual winger somewhere, a striker, maybe an athletic centre mid, hell, even a centre back. Even if we only got a good player back in return rather than a world class one, it would still be an improvement.
