MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 He isn't that good at RW though which is where I think he would play mainly for us. As a ST/CF on the other hand he is great especially against smaller teams. In big games he tends to go missing a lot and always get substituted 1st by Simeone.

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Alexis moody player, Reus rumour seems dead, our best bet this summer would be Griezmann or Sterling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 2,716 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 In germany there is a rumour he already has accepted bayerns offer and mou is looking to pedro nowI'd rather we get Pedro.Great pace, flair and vision, and not to mention makes great runs off the ball. He'd be perfect here in the EPL. He isn't quite as good as Sanchez, but he'd definitely have a similar impact. kellzfresh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Pedro or Sterling for me. I do love watch Greaseman though....tremendous finisher. kellzfresh and Viper22 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 If we somehow get Griezmann this summer, I'll jump into the bandwagon and make my hairstyle like his. #Griezmannia Fernando, dUMB and Ainsley Harriott 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadavTKL 1,787 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Apperantly El Confidencial wrote about our interest in him, and they say the release clause is only 30m euros.http://www.elconfidencial.com/deportes/futbol/liga/2015-04-27/la-clausula-de-griezmann-o-el-atletico-la-sube-o-sera-una-de-las-gangas-del-verano_783020/Translation: http://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/topics/deal-at-22m-chelsea-close-on-spectacular-signing-clPogba and Griezmann would be my new dream.

ulvhedin 526 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 But wouldn't Giezmann be sent to benchland after very bad start (he had one in Atletico)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I've never really monitored how strong he is on the ball. If he falls easily under pressure, he'll struggle here unless he has plenty teammates for support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
special Eden 78 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 If the new HG rules are coming, I want Sterling for 25£m.. If not Antoine to 22£ is a bargain.Pogba, Varane and a HG keeper too and I'm in heaven! Chelsea Legend 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joined a club with different environment and a playing style much different to Real Sociedad's.I've never really monitored how strong he is on the ball. If he falls easily under pressure, he'll struggle here unless he has plenty teammates for supportHe's not exceptionally strong but still decent enough.

supporter 3,088 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 WOW! I believed that his clause were 60 million euros, but the digital newspaper "El Confidencial" for this type of information about contracts they are usually quite reliable.For 30 million euros (21.5 million pounds) Griezmann would be a perfect choice. He is not Bale, but Bale is worth 100 million euros ... So Griezmann would be a perfect solution for in sporting terms and in economic terms.He is young (24 years) and now he has finally exploded as the great player he is. 25 goals this season! It is a golden opportunity.Regards. Viper22 and ILoveLamp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonsFinest 692 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Griezmann is awesome and for the price given, he is a major steal. I'd love to see him here. I don't see a reason why he can't take Oscar's place and switch with Hazard, playing as a 10 and a left Wing. Interchanging sides with Willian is also available for both of them(Hazard and Griez), that way we are a constant threat, because all of the three are superior in their own way and are either able to cut inside or keep the play as fast as they can. I'm just so glad that rumours are linking us to good world class players, who will definetly improve us for the upcoming season. Whether it is him/Koke/Pogba or Isco, I'd be all for'em.

I mean, you're not going to survive in a Simeone's side if you are physically weak.But even if we get him, he'll have to play behind Costa like he's doing with mandzukic. He's going to be poor if forced at the right wing. It's a good idea getting more goalscorers in our starting lineup. We just have Costa and hazard right now, not good enough.

Viper22 2,418 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 £21.5M would be a good deal for someone of his quality if Sterling/Reus/Bale aren't gettable or are extortionate prices. supporter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidEU 2,023 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 If it's possible to get Sterling we should go all out and get him. Griezmann would be the best alternative though for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just have Costa and hazard right now, not good enough.Griezmann is really more of a goalscorer than a goal creator, even when he used to play out wide for Real Sociedad (he's only got 24 assists in his club career but has 77 goals). At Atletico Madrid, he's playing in the striker position these days and as much as he's a quality player, I don't think he is what we need to be honest. kellzfresh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supporter 3,088 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 To me Griezmann is a N.9, not a murderer in the box, but he is a player who by their statistics and their movements on the grass he is a fordward.Griezmann is perhaps an attacker to play with an approach 4 - 4 - 2 accompanying another striker, but we play with other approaches.Obviously he does not have the same numbers as Messi or Ronaldo, but he can play perfectly as N.9.The reports commented that we were willing to sign Icardi for more than 20 million pounds. I prefer sign Griezmann by 21.5 than Icardi.A perfect fordward to competition with Diego Costa and able to play in other positions (something that Mourinho loves). A perfect signing.Regards.
