Antoine Griezmann

I think if there was we would do that instead of strengthening a rival yet again, but realistically who else are willing to sign Griezmann and give him a top salary?

Man City? Nope

Man Utd? Not anymore

Chelsea? Unlikely as they have Havertz who's kinda playing a similar role

The Italian clubs cannot afford anyone and Bayern never spend and don't really spend big on 30+ players anyway.

Exactly.

There is no real alternative here.

LMFAO do you think they're chumps? They just signed De Paul to replace Saul, it's gonna be a midfield of Llorente Koke De Paul.

Barca only club dumb enough to give them what they're lacking yet again

They'll comfortably win the next season. Felix, Suarez and Griezmann as the forward 3. They'll have Koke, De Paul and Llorente in the midfield.

I actually make Atletico one of the big favourites for the Champions League now. Griezmann will suit Atletico's system way more.... and Simone will play him in the right position.

But now we have Depay, Messi, Fati, and Aguero for 3 spots. Didn't we loan Trincao too? Demebele out injured, Griezmann going... kind of light if someone gets injured.

If Dembele renews it will be more than enough, if he doesn't than will probably sign another winger.

It's a horrible deal

1) People here who claim Saul is what we need, either haven't watched Saul at all OR have a distorted idea of what type of midfielder we need
Just to give you a sense of what type of midfielder we need, look at Rodrigo de Paul that Simeone signed.

If Saul ends up here, you will see Moriba playing and him rotting on the bench, just like Pjanic sat all year long.
12m gross for a benchwarmer. How much would MEssi be on in his new deal?
Just make the comparison

2) Open your eyes at how Simoeone is outsmarting us.
De Paul over Saul, like a trillion times upgrade
Griezman to play behind Suarez in his 4-4-2
Title favorites for sure.
And will have paid only 15m to Barca for this?

Wait until October, where people here will be wining about Koeman, while he has Saul :)lol:) at his disposal to play the role of the dynamic box to box.

All in all, if we manage to get Griezmann and Coutinho (Marseille) off the wage deal and transferred out of the club this week then it will be a good week.

Gives us time to decide what to do with Dembele with slightly less pressure. Keep him benched for a year? Renew? Try and swap him?

Juventuz no doubt Allegri loves him. Easy deal for De Ligt can happen

Juventus would only have been an option if Cristiano Ronaldo left them, but he's staying and you know just as well as I do that Juventus would try to shaft us by offering Demiral instead.

I think the question was either to do this deal or keep him and use him. But they decided he wasn't worth the effort or the problems.

Dembele will be back from injury in couple months also Collado and possibly Demir.

Even then may look to bring in a wide player.

We also have Braithwaite. I have concerns over Aguero's fitness.... and we have no clue how Fati will be after being out for so long. We're definitely lacking experienced depth.

His salary definitely wasn't worth it, and those Dembele recordings putting us in trouble with Rakuten and Konami certainly didn't help either.
