Antoine Griezmann

Like the way the works hard off the ball and defending the defense.

Yep, no doubt he's first & foremost a team player. Forces a lot of turnovers in dangerous areas.

I was impressed with Pedri's running back, too. Helped stopped a Sociedad counter when Barca's defense was in danger of being outnumbered.

Happy birthday G

Really enjoying these videos that Barca YT channel is putting out lately. But something I noticed in this one:
Players get asked which player is most likely to send the team surprise packages and De Jong responds with "this never happened so I am thinking who could".
Didn't Griezmann buy the team a Playstation 5 last year or something? Shouldn't he have been the answer?

Maybe not the best timing to talk about it but I think it would be rational thing to consider a sale this summer.

So true. I cant understand what people saw in him. His stats in Atletico were average, he was never brilliant assistant or good finisher. I wish Barca sold him before season (even with loss) instead of kicking Suarez out.

I mean he plays really well now but you can find better players that would cost less and could fill hole after his departure.

 

[FCMessi]

the price just keeps going up.

Would it be realistic to get somewhere around 50 mil for him this summer? I would take that deal no questions asked if i were Laporta. Anything lower and I'm not so sure.

Squad is better with Griezmann than Suarez.

Zero chance can play like yesterday with Suarez in the team.

Still should be sold if get decent offer but fuck pining for Suarez and the shite had to watch or years with him and Messi together impacting whole team.

Have you seen that asshole yelling at Marcos Llorente every game? I would be so furious if he did that this season towards our youngsters. Fuk him, I'm so glad he's gone and yes I am glad we kept Griezmann instead of that bully.

That and his style of play.

He and Messi in same team would have been all the same problems as before and coaches trying to work out way to fit them both in that impacts whole structure of team.

Would have just been another lost year not moving in direction team needed to go.

Griezmann is frustrating often, but I like what he brings to the team, and without a very good offer I wouldn't sell him, even though his wages are much too high.

getting 50 mil wouldn't be unrealistic. but i think the salary and his willingness to move might be the bigger problems. like suarez or rakitic, he seems that he likes it in spain very much and his family feels at home there.

back to atletico it is?

Mentioned it before that back to Atletico may be the biggest chance of him leaving.

Felix is not playing every week and would get good money for him and Simeone has shown in past will go back in for his players.

Dont think Suarez/Griezmann would work though. Need someone with more pace. So would probably need both Suarez to not take up option and Felix to be sold.

In Prem... maybe Chelsea if keep playing two up top and Tuchel has said in past likes him but as you said not sure he would want to leave Spain at this stage.

well, griezmann played with donkeys like morata, giroud and costa. don't see why it wouldn't work with suarez. also, suarez was like the first player that welcomed him in barcelona and seemed to get along very well with griezmann.

Morata and Costa could run and doubt he would be taken back to Atletico to play with posession to get up park the way France can with Giroud and France have rapid pace on wing which Atleitco dont so much.

Suarez cant run, pass or press and Atleti have totally changed their style this season for him.

If were ever to take Griezmann back I think they would move away from that.

 

[Messi983]

I would keep him unless we get something like 80m.
