Antoine Griezmann

[Spike 12,049]

we will probably sign him and play him on the wing and never get the best out of him!

we would probably have to play a diamond midfield to get the best out of him Griezmann

Matic

Willian - Oscar/Fabregas

Hazard

Costa - Griezmann

Nah, it'll be more like a 4-4-2, fam. Which is just a modified, 4-2-3-1, which I just a modified 4-3-3, which is just a modified 4-1-2-3, which is just a modified, 4-1-4-1, which is just a modified 4-2-1-3. Damn, formations are a little asinine.

It's like the tactics and strategies employed are more important than a formation.

Love this guy. Tidy little player that knows how to score goals. Wouldn't mind getting him and changing our system abit.

If he comes in I can see Oscar leaving for Juve...particularly the way things seem to be going for him and Mourinho.

That would be a good thing.

Juve is cheap as f.

They went for oscar, isco, gotze, and draxler.. Instead, they got cuadrado

This would be a dream.

Griezmann could join Diego Costa at Stamford Bridge, with Roman Abramovich considering paying his €65m buy-out clause. (Diario Sport) #CFC

#CFC have been tracking Griezmann for a while and may look to tie up a deal for the start of summer, so he can join directly after Euro 2016

Paying 65m euros for a player? High unlikely that we'll sign him and as much as I want us to get him, he is not what we need.

Top player, wrong manager. Can you imagine him under Jose tutelage ? As someone saying he would be a LW. But I think even something worse, he'd be playing as a RW (left foot and all that) who would have to track back and cover for Iva (as Jose says you can tell the difference when you're defending with 10 and when with 9 or 8). ROTFL I'd like to see that just for one game to have endless banana on my face.

I can only give my blessing to this if we're preparing ground for new manager.

Well Griezmann is younger.

Chelsea want Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann, 24, and will make a £40m bid for the French forward. (Sunday Express)

Depends on what you're looking for. They are both different players - one is a wide attacking player and the other is a striker.

Griezman is the dream.

Who would he start over?

You can't drop Willian

So its either Hazard or new signing Pedro going to the bench. Hazard, even in his subpar play, is unlikely. So that ultimately leaves Pedro. I don't think he left the Barcelona bench just to ride our bench.

It's not unthinkable for him to lead the line. However, I don't see him going anything till after the Euros

i can see this deal going down with costa going to atletico madrid in some kind of swap deal

Where? As striker!

Spanish newspaper Diario AS think there's an obsession going around with Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann. Chief rumour pusher Manolete explains: 'It has become an obsession. Every day in the British press there's insistence of Chelsea's interest in signing Atletico's Griezmann.'

That's possibly a little unfair. Firstly because the British press aren't quite at it every day on Griezmann to Chelsea, and secondly because AS themselves have pushed the story enough times. In fact, Griezmann to Chelsea almost certainly started in the Spanish media, rather than with their British counterparts.

Actually, we covered the same Spanish newspaper saying Chelsea wanted Griezmann in May, and then several times since then.

Anyway, this time the claims seem to originate with the Daily Express and Chelsea wanting to sign Griezmann for 52m. That isn't happening, they'd have to pay a bit more. It's understandable that Chelsea would want to sign the Frenchman, he could improve almost any team on the planet.

But reports in the British media, and from their Spanish counterparts, haven't brought anything new this weekend.

Griezmann doesn't fit our current way of playing at the moment. He's not strong enough to lead the line on his own and he certainly won't be a winger like we/Mourinho want in the wide positions. He'll likely end up going down the same road as Salah, Cuadrado, Schurrle etc if we get him. If we want to get a winger, then get a proper one. If we want to get a striker, then get an out-and-out striker. Enough with the square pegs in round holes. We've wasted so much money in recent years doing that.

he is good enough to change the system for. especially a rubbish system like ours
