Antoine Griezmann

I guess. He used to be more mobile as few years ago. These days he just doesn't move around, that's what Griezmann would give us.

Antoine Griezmann scored his first international goal for France only for the midfielder Víctor Cáceres to do likewise and earn Paraguay a 1-1 draw with an 89th-minute header in Sunday’s World Cup warm-up in Nice.
The Real Sociedad winger has impressed since recently breaking into the Franceteam and, coming on as a substitute, put them ahead in the 82nd minute with an assured finish, curling the ball into the right-hand corner after collecting it on the left side of the penalty area.
France had the majority of possession but the Arsenal forward Olivier Giroud missed several chances and failed to add to his international tally of seven after scoring twice against Norway in a 4-0 win on Tuesday.

He's a proper goal scoring winger.

Surprising

I'd worry that though Griezmann has done well recently in Spain he's not quite athletically powerful enough for the premiership.

I'd want someone who is nimble but with better technique or a beast physically like Cuadrado

He had a good game. Remy was poor though. Cuadrado would be an excellent plan b to Di Maria.

I'd take Griezmann over Remy, especially if Remy's going to end up out on the left wing here.

I've changed my mind now, I want him. The more I've seen the less he looks just a functional player that can find the back of the net and the more he looks like a player with good touch, awareness, speed and combination play, with a few outstanding attributes; his finishing, movement and acceleration. Think he'd give us more than Podolski next season

I'd take him ahead of Podolski too but not sure the upgrade is worth the hassle especially if he is going to cost 15 or 20m. Wonder what he'd be like as a striker.

Well judged Ricky 🙂
Looks like Ribery may not make it to the WC so we may get to see a lot more of Griezmann.
So far it doesn't appear that he's been out of his depth when playing for France.

Kel Varnsen

Of course he'd give us more than Podolski, but that's not saying much.

Some serious underating of podolski going on here.

Don't want Griezmann. Flash in the pan flavour of the month. Payet mark deuce

Valbuena is the guy to get from that French team

Qwiss

Valbuena is a 29 year old midget who doesn't score.

Unless you meant sign him because it'd boost Cazorlas confidence by feeling taller than someone. If thats what you meant then its a genius psychological ploy.

😆 valbuena is chit mate. one paced manlet, sif we need more of that nonsense.

admit it - you hate griezmann because he kind of looks like marco reus

GooneriC

Valbuena is a whiny , diving little self-centered midget . No way

lorddulaarsenal

He's top drawer. Excellent set piece delivery

I'd defo take him here. Best French attacker at the World Cup bar Ribery

Kel Varnsen

Griezmann is a decent player. Good movement and link up play and he can score goals. However, I think we should aim higher. With Walcott on the right and Ozil in the middle, we lack "dribblers" up front. Players who can make things happen on their own. The best thing would be a player like Sanchez; good link up player, but can also create things on his own.

Clrnc

Still not that impressed, too similar to Podolski for my liking. Would rather keep the German if this is the case.

Rex

Griezmann is 23 and still with a lot of improvement ahead of him while Podolski is 29 and at his peak. Honestly, I'd take the 23 year old Griezmann over Podolski right now, since I think he is better suited to us, and the younger player will easily surpass Podolski's best.

Rex

Griezmann is nothing like Podolski either. He is a lot pacier, much better 1v1, links play better, is a lot more mobile, and is a lot more willing to make runs in behind the back 4. Podolski has a better shot and is the better finisher, but it isn't like Griezmann is a poor finisher by any means; it just means that Podolski is an exceptional finisher.

Ray

We have a Griezmann "type" wide player in Walcott and Podolski, we don't however have a wide player who is a powerful dribbler, which is why we should go for either Di Maria or Cuadrado or players like that.
