Spike 12,049 Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 If he can cope physicaly with PL, I think he will be a hit once he gets used to team.Fact that he played for atletico for whole year is definately plus.The physicality of England is a myth. If he can do it at La Real and Atleti he will be fine in England. Azul, RoyalBlues and iseah100 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kezza 1,965 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I like last season Atletico, and I think that the best team they have for years. Winning La Liga was a huge achievement. But I don't think they could repeat that again with Barca and Real Madrid domination and continuous spending. Also in CL. Copa del Rey might their only best chance for silverware in every season since now. Griezmann should have realized this, if he is clever enough, he wouldn't pass the chance we offered. Joining Chelsea much more promising for silverware, including CL. And more money of course.Apart from trophies and money, players want to play football. He would not be a guaranteed starter here. Of course money can sway anyone, but look how long its taking Cuadrado to gain a starting position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji38]100+ fouls on him.That's not cause of the physiciality, it's cause of Eden's style. He gets fouls in Europe too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course money can sway anyone, but look how long its taking Cuadrado to gain a starting position. That sounds familiar case to me. It's back to the player himself to choose, whether he want to stay at 'smaller' club to be a starter or ready for a challenge at 'bigger' club. Willian for example, as the one who take that challenge and could 'survive' in here. Yes there are others who have 'failed' like Salah for example, or the player who choose to stay at his club and afraid to take that challenge, in other words 'playing safe'.If Griezmann believe in his own ability he could be better than Willian or Oscar or Remy (why I picked three names because he is versatile player therefore his chance to get minutes will be bigger), he might would want to join us for a chance of 'better' life. Top flight football at elite club, play with among the best players in the world, more competitive league, better chance of silverware, Jose Mourinho, more money, guaranteed called up for France, etc, would be the prizes if he could 'survive' here. It's all worth it imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically the minimum price anyone could get him without have to bother about his club. You could always think he is only worth 25m for example, but Atletico will have every rights to reject it. Pay it or leave it price, nothing wrong with it imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Sorry, just cant wrap my head around it..why? its not like we already closed the deal and we know we paid that amount. Atletico have good reasons to put a quite high buy out clause, as a club Cheslea dont have to pay that if they think its too high. If Chelsea dont want to pay it, and the player wants the move, its up to everybody involved to negotiate with ATM for a lower price. ATM just makes sure they'll get some serious money for their players if they dont want to lose them. Maybe they placed this high buy out clause on Griezmann because of how we took Costa and Luis.

It's depend on what you think though. I think it's still reasonable number for a player who has score 22 in 34 games in La Liga, despite most not playing as a lead striker. Also he is still 24. We could easily get our money back or even higher, considering what we did with Mata, Luiz, Schurrle, etc.Actually we have a bit part of making price inflated several years ago. But recently, thanks to Man City, the price even more crazier nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
