Antoine Griezmann

QuincyAbeyie

He's better than Reus too, no?
Anyway, want Sanchez now so Griezmann would be kind of a let down.

lorddulaarsenal

If were are going to get in new wide attackers we need to get top quality. Alexis, Pedro, Sterling and such like

JohnnyBravo

Can Sanchez even play LW? I mean, I'm sure he'd be able to do it, but has he actually ever played there at any point in his career?

lorddulaarsenal

Podolski and caz can play left

JohnnyBravo

Yeah, and Walcott and Wilshere can play on the right... We need a LW way more than we need a RW.

Ray

Wouldn't suprise me if Wenger is planning on using him as a striker, meh. I'd rather we got Sanchez who is available for the same price.

marv3llous

Yes please. If we're not going for Draxler anymore then he is ideal for LW. Can make runs on the left same way as Walcott on the right. Giroud will benefit greatly from playing with those two.

He's included in the French WC squad?
It'd be interesting to see if he's used at all.
I like the idea of him as a goalscoring winger, but haven't seen enough to have any proper instinctive feelings about him.

Kurtz

Never liked this guy. Seems like a flop in the making. Better than nothing but would prefer Vela, Sanchez or Reus.

y va marquer

What's it in particular about him that you don't like Kurtz?

Kurtz

Every time I watched him play he seemed peripheral and not as fast as I like wingers to be. But the stats don't lie he's had a great season. I'd rather get Vela for 3m then Antoine for 20m.

y va marquer

Hmm. Peripheral in the way Podolski is peripheral during games?
Not really involved in moving the attack forward or creating?

Highlights of his goals, passing and dribbling.

Lukazan

Looks an interesting player to me. I like the look of him. Want.

Tactics

Agree with Kurtz, I'm also not hugely impressed. Carlos Vela has got the better touch, skill, vision, passing and dribbling ability IMO. He's the one that runs their attack. I really can't understand why we are willing to pay so much for him when we can get Vela for 3m. But I'm sure our scouts have watched both of them extensively, they might know something we don't.

The player that I rate the most in that Sociedad team is Pardo and the coach doesn't always start him, so what do I know.

Btw Vela has a very good understanding with Griezmann, Vela always picks out his runs with threaded passes.

innervisionscm

We don't need someone to "run our attack". We have Ozil, Cazorla, Ramsey, and Wilshere to do that. We need off-the-ball movement and end product. I agree that Vela plays great threaded passes to Griezmann, but we don't need the passer, we need the guy on the other end. I'd prefer a more complete player like Alexis but adding a left-sided Theo with less pace and more polish would be good for the squad.

lorddulaarsenal

We have podolski for that. Guy registers so much. He was hampered by injury this season

innervisionscm

Podolski doesn't make the runs that Griezmann (or Walcott) does. He has to be in the penalty box to be an effective player.

DialSquare

Cant see us signing this guy, a forward, AND keeping Podolski.

It's two of the three for me - all three would be amazing and probably what is needed, but is not Wenger's style.

In an ideal world i'd like us to sign Sanchez over Griezmann and sell Podolski and bring in Benzema.

Realistically we will keep Podolski and sign just Remy!

Gazza M

you guys might be surprised how effective a player can be when played in his favoured position. griezmann is far from the most skilled player we could play on the left, but id rather have him there than poldi, jack, caz, draxler, ozil etc.
