I think Griezmann provides more of what we need personally.
Exactly, while he is a good player signing Vela makes no sense to me. Us threatening to activate his clause was probably just to scare them into coughing up what we want. Even if we did activate it there is no guarantee he would he would even join us especially if the rumours of us wanting to then sell him are true.
It isn't about who the better player is individually but who is the better suited for us. Just like with Fabregas no point bringing back players who represent good value when we don't even need them.
