Give Mason Mount a chance!
€125m is crazy money for a 28 year old who hasn't shown his best form for a good year or two now. Good deal for Atletico.
Barcelona’s transfer strategy since Pep left is worse than ours in my opinion.€125m is crazy money for a 28 year old who hasn't shown his best form for a good year or two now. Good deal for Atletico.
They also need a CF going by Suarez's performance in CL, more importantly against Liverpool.Unless Griezmann is going to play CB, Barcelona have bigger issues
Can they afford De Ligt after this signing? Bearing in mind they’ve already bought De Jong also?They also need a CF going by Suarez's performance in CL, more importantly against Liverpool.
They are not weak in CB area. They will sign De Ligt and they have Pique and Lenglet. They have so many options that they are looking to offload Umtiti who will start for most teams.
No way. Since he left they've signed Suarez, Neymar, Arthur, De Jong, Semedo, Umtiti, Rakitic, Ter Stegen, Alba, Dembele. How the hell is that worse than ours? Sure they've had terrible ones too, but come on.Barcelona’s transfer strategy since Pep left is worse than ours in my opinion.
Once Messi bows out they’re going to be in a world of trouble. Back to the days of the pre-90’s
Griezmann would actually be a perfect fit in the false 9 role that Ole likes to employ. But there's no way Griezmann is going to want the come here at this point.Someone in another forum wrote that he can't see Griezmann fitting into Barca's or City's system.
Currently I just see ManUtd with the financial power and need for a good striker of that calibre.
What is a Chelsea player?I don’t think Greizmann is a Barca type player, just seems odd to me. Seems more of a Chelsea player to me.
I don’t even know. I just mean I can picture him in a Chelsea shirt and playing for them. They always switch out there forwards and he just seems to fit the squad would be weird to see him playing at Barcelona. Then again so have slit off there recent signings for me. Maybe I’m just used to the old Barca players that had been there for the best part of their careers.What is a Chelsea player?
Going by rumors they can as they will offload many players.Can they afford De Ligt after this signing? Bearing in mind they’ve already bought De Jong also?
I really don't care about a player who is firstly way overrated, secondly not a United player and thirdly not likely to be.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...-Atletico-Madrid-amid-Barcelona-interest.html
On his way to Barca by the looks of it. Wonder what that means for the likes of Dembele, Coutinho and Malcolm
They could still sign de Ligt. Coutinho, Rakitic and Umtiti may be sold.Unless Griezmann is going to play CB, Barcelona have bigger issues
I'll rephrase that, since they lost the DOF that worked with Pep and moved to City with him 3 seasons ago. Their transfer strategy is scattergun at best.No way. Since he left they've signed Suarez, Neymar, Arthur, De Jong, Semedo, Umtiti, Rakitic, Ter Stegen, Alba, Dembele. How the hell is that worse than ours? Sure they've had terrible ones too, but come on.
Still a lot better than UnitedsI'll rephrase that, since they lost the DOF that worked with Pep and moved to City with him 3 seasons ago. Their transfer strategy is scattergun at best.
that's not rephrasing it, that's backtracking and then making a completely different point to try cover up your incorrect oneI'll rephrase that, since they lost the DOF that worked with Pep and moved to City with him 3 seasons ago. Their transfer strategy is scattergun at best.
I believe arsenal will go for him if they have ambition to pay.they are looking to offload Umtiti who will start for most teams.
Who will buy Coutinho? I doubt he has many takers for the price.They could still sign de Ligt. Coutinho, Rakitic and Umtiti may be sold.
Not sure about his fitness though, read he did his knee couple of times and bit of injury prone.I believe arsenal will go for him if they have ambition to pay.
Which makes that comment very strange.I really don't care about a player who is firstly way overrated, secondly not a United player and thirdly not likely to be.
True, but I’m pretty sure Barca are open to selling him.Who will buy Coutinho? I doubt he has many takers for the price.
Not a couple of times, he had one injury a year ago but avoided surgery in order to play the World Cup, he only went for a long term fix in November.Not sure about his fitness though, read he did his knee couple of times and bit of injury prone.
So he isn't injury prone?Not a couple of times, he had one injury a year ago but avoided surgery in order to play the World Cup, he only went for a long term fix in November.
He had one seemingly important injury that he was able to play through, I don't know what his future is made of, from an injury standpoint.So he isn't injury prone?
I was checking his league stats, he has played more than 30 games only twice which was bit worrying.He had one seemingly important injury that he was able to play through, I don't know what his future is made of, from an injury standpoint.
Malcom: £37mthat's not rephrasing it, that's backtracking and then making a completely different point to try cover up your incorrect one
Come on, we both know their transfers have still been way better than ours.
He didn't start his career as a starter, during his second season he wins his spot after a couple of months, the next summer he is with France U21 and misses the first 4 games, then he has two +30 games seasons. At Barcelona it's a mix of rotation, small injuries and that one knee injury. There is nothing special about his injury record outside of the knee injury which should always be taken seriously.I was checking his league stats, he has played more than 30 games only twice which was bit worrying.
As long as it’s not on his way to United. I thought he was vastly overrated at Liverpool. That was some business by them getting that money for him.That’ll be coutinho on his way too then
Dembele hasn't been a flop and Paulinho was actually really good for them for a season. Mina they sold for a £20m profit so how is that a bad buy? Coutinho is the one that looks like a flop.Malcom: £37m
Coutinho: £130m
Dembele: £113m
Paulinho: £36m
Mina: £10.5m
They've bought a few decent one's as well like Arthur (£27m) and Vidal (£16m) but they loaned Kevin-Prince Boateng from Sassuolo in January which highlights the issues they've got.
If we'd have spent north of £300m on a front line to replace Neymar and ended up with those flops we'd be going fecking mental in here, and rightly so.
Really?Barcelona’s transfer strategy since Pep left is worse than ours in my opinion.
Thanks for the info. Maybe his injury concern is overplayed.He didn't start his career as a starter, during his second season he wins his spot after a couple of months, the next summer he is with France U21 and misses the first 4 games, then he has two +30 games seasons. At Barcelona it's a mix of rotation, small injuries and that one knee injury. There is nothing special about his injury record outside of the knee injury which should always be taken seriously.
Indeed and they get rid of the problem to their wage structure which is the 23M €/Year (more than CR7 ever made in Real) Griezmann is making.€125m is crazy money for a 28 year old who hasn't shown his best form for a good year or two now. Good deal for Atletico.
Gosh, the transfer fees are disgusting. £113 million for the guy who choked two piss easy chances in the CL SF and £130 million for a flop. They might not be as bad as us but those two transfers, in particular, were stupid.Malcom: £37m
Coutinho: £130m
Dembele: £113m
Paulinho: £36m
Mina: £10.5m

Money talks so I wouldn't say it's impossible. Especially when you think of a base; De Gea - new CB - Pogba - Griezmann.Griezmann would actually be a perfect fit in the false 9 role that Ole likes to employ. But there's no way Griezmann is going to want the come here at this point.
