But how will he do against stoke on a cold, rainy Thursday?

He can't go to Madrid or Barça because he has a clause in his contract that forbids the move (he's have to pay Atlético a huge amount in compensation).

He specifically said he had offers from England, Germany, USA and China. Doubt he'd really consider a move to the US or China, unless he really is just a moneywhore... in any case it wouldn't make sense with his desire of winning titles, unless he values those almighty leagues...

So, Germany or England it seems. And it looks like Utd has the biggest chance. If City made a move I think he might reconsider though... I think he'd be more comfortable playing under Pep than under Mou.

Strange he didn't cite France. I always figured PSG might have a chance of signing him since it's his home country and all... with the money they have they could easily afford him, and it would reflect an ambition of becoming a top european club.

He developed playing for la Real (in cold, rainy San Sebastián), so I think he'll be ok.

The question is, will he finally do ok in big games against strong opponents? He's invisible in 90% of those games.

City don't need him, they have Aguero, Sane, Jesus and Sterling.

PSG are a bit of a joke, can't even with their own 1 team league and they always get rolled over in the CL.

That's what I'm worried about. As pozer says, I've literally never seen him have a good game. I remember a good euros and maybe 1-2 champions leagues games in their run to the final. Unless he plays on the wing, I feel like he's going to be invisible playing center forward since he's so small. He does have quality though so I guess we just have to see

Admittedly he was shite against Leicester. I was expecting him to tear us a new bumhole with our slow defense but it was that winger who did everything for them :/

I know that City don't desperately need him, but he'd be a great addition to the team. He's better than Sterling and Sané, and I think he'd make a great partnership with Gabriel Jesus or Kun.

I'm aware of PSG's limitations, but if they signed someone like Griezmann it would show ambition and make the club an attractive destination for other top players, potentially making them capable of fighting for the CL soon.



imo he's the type of player who is a fantastic addition to any top team in the sense that his consistent goal scoring will contribute to very good league performances, but he's not someone you can rely on to win titles or give the team the edge in decisive moments. He'd definitely improve Utd, but he won't increase their chances of winning the CL.

if thats your resume from regularly watching him (i didnt watch that much obviously)
then no need, because we need that last bit in the big games at bayern

Well, that's how he has been in the 3 years he has played at the highest level. He has scored a lot of goals, but Atlético has won nothing with him despite winning an EL, a Copa and a Liga in the prior 3 years Cholo has coached the team.

He has been improving year after year so maybe he will eventually get that sorted out, but as of now at age 26 he hasn't been able to produce an impact in decisive moments, aside from a CL game against Bayern and 1-2 games against Madrid/Barça.
