termninja 5,290 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Yes I do know what his stronger foot is! And no he can't be like Robben for us, he isn't a great dribbler, he is nothing like Robben, he is more like a left footed Schurrle, except he isn't very good on the right, we simply don't need him.And you want him to be a 40+ million bench warmer who will occasionally rotate with Hazard and Oscar?I haven't meant that he plays LIKE Robben with pace, but rather that he can offer goals and do a decent job as a winger with a lot of freedom to move around. And what was what made Schurrle so interesting? Cutting inside and shooting. What made Robben great? Cutting inside and shooting. So they some have similarities. When Schurrle was deployed on our RW he struggled to position himself well and shoot due to his stronger foot being right.If you check Willian, Oscar and Cuadrado goals and assists and compare them to Griezmann I think he's worth the hassle. I'm not saying he's worth the money, but take into consideration that Atletico don't have to sell him so obviously he's going to be pricey.

cfcs most wanted 657 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I wont act like I know a lot about him but he doesn't seem to be some sort of a Robben you're right he ain't a diver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unionjack 7,531 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 you're right he ain't a diverHope he dont go asking Falcao for lessons.Diving is my pet hate and it really winds me up no matter who does it. We have had our fair share of lads that like to give it a go and Ive always wanted to shake them warmly by the throat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,952 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Personally think that if we buy him he'll play just behind Diego rather than out wide on the right like people are suggesting here. TheIceMan, The Mak and Blue Colored Sky 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if that's the case then I doubt we'll be after a new attacking midfielder at all.All we really have a need for is an upgrade on Oscar. Willian and Cuadrado will compete for the right side spot so I doubt we spend huge money for another winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakez 755 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Can we just buy Shirley back and hope for the best?Why? He's currently riding the bench at Wolfsburg, not good enough. Sosuke Aizen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Why? He's currently riding the bench at Wolfsburg, not good enough.Wasn't meant literally, but he's essentially the type of player many fans claim we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a point that Griezmann hasn't played as a RW and got those stats, but I think we can both agree that he a great goalscorer and a big talent. That wouldn't change if he was playing for us rather then Atletico. Especially considering we are a team who doesn't put the pressure on only 1 player (read striker) to score.

Unionjack 7,531 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Awesome I like Atletico, good to see them doing well.I too like AM. They manage to find great players after selling great players.But I love Chelsea and if we can use them as a feeder club to get almost anyone from (within reason) then Im all up for it.But it would be about right if we end up not getting anyone from them and it being just another player we have been linked with for a long time.ere saying that isn't it weird not hearing Hulks name!

Leif 6,006 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 AN ACTUAL PROPER WINGER. we want him because he's exactly the opposite of that2013 Spike needs to watch more Youtube compilations before making such audacious claims I don't know much about him but by the looks of things he actually stays out wide and hugs the touchline.

They have bought two forwards and are looking to get Callejon as well by the looks of it. It's not Arda Turan's position that is in danger. If they do sign Callejon, I'm pretty sure that means Griezmann is leaving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
