Antoine Griezmann

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Always love it when people list "big tournament next summer" as a reason for no switch. This way it would be impossible for all internationals to move every other year which is BS. Typical case of speculative jounralism

Lol, 45m for Griezmann, he's hardly worth half

The hyperbole on the site has reached new heights. Hard to discern who is actually here just for the sake of amusement and who is somewhat serious.

Given the market griezmann is def in around the 35m range.

Better 45m for Griezmann, than 50m for Sterling

Not really, having a much needed English player at an English club who lacks them for an extra £5 is worth while.

I didnt followed Vietto so i'll take your word, but Atletico are going to spend about 50-55 million euros on both strikers, usually they dont spend so much without selling.

They sold Mandzukic for around 20m, and will loan Correa and Raul Gimenez to Porto (at least that is a rumour). And they stil have that guy Leo Baptistao or whatever his name was. Quite a big thing few seasons ago, but gets on average loans every year...so they might sell him too. And they got some money for Miranda too.

That makes JM, Vietto and Griezmann. Last two can play on wing too, so I dont see a real problem. Atletico few seasons ago was a 2nd tier club. They were buying big like Falcao, but also selling big (Aguero etc). I think they have alot more money now, and IMO Simeone wants to create a top club who will compete with Barca/Real. Thats why he doesnt want to sell and wont sell players even if bigger offers come, unless players decide to leave.

AND they have guys like Guilavogui on loan at Wolfsburg (probably wolfsburg will pay nice bucks for him), Oliver Torres who was on loan at Porto. And Saul. Big talents, but all wont stay there so I can see Atletco earn some money from there too.

Leo was involved in the Vietto deal. He has gone the other way on loan.

Chelsea won't pay 45m for Griezmann i don't think, so it's even more unlikely they pay more; for a worse player in Sterling.

But that extra 5 means 50m and for that price he needs to do better than 11 goals and 4 assist. I'm sure we can find another English player who is not "worth" 50m. Griezmann offer much more than Sterling, he can score, he can assist. He is playing amazing under Simeone who is simillar to Mourinho, and because of that I would be happy if we sign Griezmann or Koke.

Sterling's not worth the extra 5 million, that's the problem.

If we want a quality english player, I'd spend the money on John Stones (as a potential replacement for JT), not Raheem Sterling

[Special Juan 28,089]

I don't get the hype around this lad. I have watched him plenty and whilst he's a good player the price and the way people are speaking I don't agree with.

[TheIceMan 596]

Prefer Lacazette!

I presume you're talking about Vietto. I wasn't aware of their interest in him. Atletico are know for buying big money strikers.

NO. Atletico are interested..................................
