Griezmann leaving Atletico

[steincolin]

Are we in the running

 

[Superrangers]

Would love to see him in the EPL. There will surely be a few clubs interested.

Seems like he enjoys Spain. Think he will end up at Barcelona.

I agree, some of Barca’s big money signings recently have been shocking. Coutinho, Malcolm, Dembele, Vidal, Arthur, Paulinho and Turan.

There’s too many players there for everyone to agree with them all however a lot of cash splashed for not much return there.

To be fair, Dembele looks a cracking player on his day (albeit he has a shite attitude supposedly). Vidal was a free transfer, Paulinho was a strange one but he actually had a decent season and they sold him for a profit. Arthur is a class act and will be a mainstay for them.

Think they have struggled to replace Dani Alves (who wouldnt) and struggled with CB recruitment. Jordi Alba will be a hard one for them to replace, what a player.

Semedo is a great player IMO but for some reason Valverde seems to favour Sergi Roberto who is a definite weak link.

Allowing Alves to leave was stupid. Reminds me of when AC Milan let Pirlo go thinking he was finished. Ended up signing for Juve on a free and was excellent for them.

 

[Danger Zone]

Need to agree to disagree.

Messi comes inside all the time and drifts about I agree but he still spends large amounts of each game coming in off the right cutting in on his left foot. It's a tucked in inside forward position more than a RW position I agree but he likes to start right of centre. Griezmann likes to start in the middle and drift left. It's different areas of the pitch.

As Sebo says Griezmann is also excellent at playing on the shoulder of the last defender. That will scare defences and cause them to drop off giving more space to someone like Messi coming from deeper.

Having zero pace upfront was a huge contributing factor to their collapse at Anfield as Liverpool could press them higher up the park and smother them knowing there was no ball on in behind them. Griezmann's pace gives them an extra dimension in attack.

Fair enough, but it’s not really something for interpretation mate. He’s flat out not a right winger anymore and hasn’t been for a long time. He floats across the the pitch but plays most of the game centrally.

Atletico Madrid CEO Gil Marin has confirmed Antoine Griezmann will join Barcelona this summer.

Sky Sports News revealed in May that Barcelona were set to pay his £108m release clause after Griezmann publically revealed his desire to leave Atletico.

Speaking to a Spanish radio station, Marin said: "I am very clear about where he is going to play, it is known since March, at Barcelona".

 

[CalgaryLoyal]

It was in jest pal.

Take a wee break.

It's the people who feel the need to mention them every thread that should get a wee break from FF

 

[Teddyjohn]

There’s something very unlikeable about him I think.

 

[DJ_RFC_1872]

Neymar Suarez Greizmann Messi wow.

 

[Rangerstillidie]

Announce Kent

 

[White Cafu]

They are miles ahead of Madrid at the minute but they have become big European bottle merchants

Real seem to be doing some good business this summer as well to be fair

 

[SuperGers07]

Neymar Suarez Greizmann Messi wow.

Neymar won't go back

That took you this long ???

 

[steve1873]

Im he’s off to Sellick as part of a deal involving Kieran Tierney and £50m heading to the biscuit tin ???

Dreadful patter. You do know it's ok to have a thread on a subject and not bring they bastards in to it eh!

 

[DJ_RFC_1872]

Neymar won't go back

You said mate?

 

[Club Deck Pakora]

Has he done another head and shoulders advert yet? Cause the last one was sexy as %^*&!

 

[Thesuperger]

And as I said, I don't think so.

Messi comes in from the right. Griezmann's best through the middle or drifting out to the left. Griezmann takes Suarez's place in the system I imagine.

Top players find a way to play with other top players. Looking forward to seeing how it works if indeed he does go there.

No where near as good as Suarez though.
