Pizy 18,952 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 He's a good player, but I can't see a place for him here. I would like us to a sign a winger who stays at the byline and crosses more often than not. Having said that, there aren't many around.I can't see where he'd fit here either. Unless we play with no #10 and use him as a second striker just behind Diego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essien19 1,415 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 If Hazard had played like Griezmann did at the biggest stage in club football, his thread would have been crowded with haters all day long!Luckily Hazard played really well!Griezmann has fantastic abilities, but i don't want another player at chelsea, who is forced to play out of position.In my point of view a player like Sterling would fit in nicely with this Chelsea side.Above all a quality addition in our midfield should be Mourinhos first priority.Next season i think we will get the best out of Cuadrado and we still have Willian, both players were quite expensive.I don't want to throw their potential in the trash can! killer1257 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonsFinest 692 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 As far as my Imagination goes, I much rather think he play as the secondary striker with a free role, meaning when counter attacking he is the main threat due to pace and good finishing(Hazard), but can also be a cretive focal. He is a shorter Thomas Muller, knows where to be, at the right time, and in a counter attacking team, would be immense with Hazard and Willian. 30 milion to get him and play something like: Costa GriezmannHazard WillianMarking their duties(Willian's defensive contribution and Hazard's picking the ball at the centre of the field and driving forward). I don't know if it's just me jumping the bandwagon, but Jose has never been regarded for posesion football, so we are either going to look into work-ethic(Koke/Isco) or sharpeness(Griezmann/ Sterling).Which isn't bad. Personally, I think, with the price given, Griezmann should be considered, RATHER than Sterling. We can fill the HG quota with a RB that is English(Clyne or Coleman) and Rob Green which would raise our tally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterfall 893 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Both Guardian and Mirror are reporting the exact same stories today: interest in Griezmann, Guaita, Pedro and Varane.Inclusion of Guaita makes me think someone leaked the story of interests on purpose.

Waterfall 893 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Put it this way, if its £43M we won't be buying him. There will be a tax associated with that 43m in Spain and that will take it over 50MPut it this way, we bought Filipe Luis for less than the buyout when everyone expected us to pay the full amount.

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 What if i told you the same can be said about Marco Reus :eyebrows: Yup, and Pedro too. I'm not sure about Sterling. Jose like versatile player who could play more than one position. If they are available at a reasonable price, I think we're gonna sign at least one of them.
