The problem with Dybala is that he's injury prone and with Simeone's style of play, he might not be ideal for them.
That's not true. Simeone's style requires great individuals in attack.

His style is defensive and the patterns of play aren't good enough.

You need attackers with individual brilliance like Alvarez, Grizz and Dybala to create something out of nothing.

Would be a good replacement for Griezmann, but I don't know if I want him in Atletico under Simeone lol


Interesting move. He lost a bit of his shine and the Madrid's, Chelsea's and possibly Barca decided against moving for him.

Same happened with Exeqiel (yes I butchered the spelling) who was close to Madrid and then they opted against.

He then went to Bayer and has developed into a rather good player, and will move to a bigger club sooner than later.

Never really seen him play, but atleti building a mini Argentina, while barca builds a mini spain.

Good times ahead, if simeone played a bit more attacking football, would be sweet.

I'm talking about Dybala being "injury prone" is not ideal for a physically demanding style of Atletico.

Atelti wont go over board if they lose tomorrow.

It could potentially be a season they lose out to the best two teams in Europe.

They will still have a lot of optimism in their team and players they are being linked with.

Dont think there is horrendous pressure on them if lose as season is a failure and future bleak.

Would Simeone/ATM take Lewandowski + let's say Garcia or some other player + a hefty sum for Alvarez in the summer?

Alvarez is getting over rated on here at this point. He wasnt great tonight and for the games that teams sit in need more physicality than him at CF.

Lewa is having the better season of the two.

Ofc he has a better season in the better squad, by far.

He lacks physicality but he would be a good fit imo. I'd never bring Haaland instead of him with all his physicality for instance.

Would agree with Pep and have Haaland at CF every single time over Alvarez even if Alvarez the better footballer.

Never, big game choker like few others and doesn't fit at all at Barca. Ibra was a genius compared to him and he didn't make huge impact not even in Pep's Barca.
