We have to less 50% of whoever is joining us with LvG in charge. All the players who have joined us seems to downgrade by 50%.
Griezmann or Aubameyang?

- Start date
I specifically said pace/ability to beat a player which is why Walcott/Navas would rank lower in the dribbling stats because they severly lack in the technical department but Walcott offers penetration with his pace, Rooney and Griezmann don't. I've already elaborated at length what this side needs and someone without pace/ability to go past players would be a disaster.
Griezmann with a nice pass from a right-wing position on the buildup to the Atletico goal today. 2 years younger, too.
Memphis-Martial-Griezmann, a less Van Gaal based approach to pressing and speed of build up play and we'll score goals again.

Griezmann it is,he would perfectly suit us.
I think Memphis-Martial-Griezman-Januzaj as a front four in front of a Schmidfield base would do nicely primarily because I think we need a ball career in there whilst Griezman is doing well as a second striker atm and he would complement Martial nicely as part of a front two. I'm not so sure Memphis is ready to play a huge role for us right now but the signs, in the last two games, have been promising.
Both and Mane. We need a huge overhaul of our attacking options.
He really wouldn't. Will become a world class player soon enough though.
Let's be honest, Why would Aubameyang or Griezmann join us right now?
I'd argue that Atleti are a better side than us and Aubameyang already prefers La Liga so it would take a good offer to sway him, and we are in the fecking Europa with an inept coach.

Don't be ridiculous.
Well might be shit on the pitch but we are a mega club. They would double their earnings for starters.
Antoine.
Quadrupling your wages is always nice, the exposure of a giant club also adds some marketability to the player brand.
Playing alongside Messi and Neymar seems nice but having to compete with them for a starting spot is not as exciting, players take that in account when planning their career.
Plus Man Utd is big and serious and should be back competing with the best very soon.
Because he's best suited to a counter-attacking team. I'm not saying he's going to be bad but I don't think he's a type of player that would thrive in a possession-based style.
Also, I don't think this could or would happen anytime soon even if we do decide to pay his release clause. He seems very settled at Atletico.
If we activate his release clause he would swim to Manchester to get that fat pay cheque.
Money is tempting but it is never a guarantee to sign players.
We just got knocked out of the CL group stage (and not an insane Man City one), are 3rd favorites for the title and Van Gaal only has 18 months to go on his deal.
If we can get Griezmann for a figure we don't think is insane we should sign him. Even in Van Gaal ball he'd be a fine fit as a 10/2nd striker, where he has often played for Atletico behind someone like Mandzukic, Torres or Jackson Martinez.
Well, playing in that position for Atletico is very different to playing in that position for United. Anyway, I'm not saying I would be unhappy if we sign him. I'm a big fan. I was just answering the question.
And yes, I would prefer him to Aubameyang.

What? Bayern dont want Aubameyang?
What do we think now? The overwhelming consensus was Griezmann, would it still be that way for most?
Greizmann for me, two top players.I think Greizmann would add so much more pace to our overall play.He will only be 25 this month. He plays in a better league,simple as.I'm glad hernandez is doing so well but the bundesliga is a goal fest,lower quality league to Spain.Greizmann is a united fan which helps too,he's knows what the club is about.I think he's a more achievable target.Aubameyang is already dreaming about Madrid,don't think it will turn out well.
He is?
Griezmann. Him, Morgan and Martial for our expanding French contingent.
Aubameyang was born in France and speaks fluent French as well.
Hmm. Doesn't change my opinion, but Aubameyang is a fantastic player and I'd take either.
It'd be amazing to get both but I'll take either at this point
It's not like the ranking of the leagues is linked to how easy is it to score. The German league might be not of the same overall quality as the Spanish league but that doesn't necessarily mean it is easier to score.
Greizmann all the way. We're missing what Greizmann can give us -- a player who can create AND score. Essentially what Mata and Rooney were supposed to be able to do this season but physically simply can't.
But we're not going to bring in anyone of AG's caliber if LVG stays on for another season, so let's sort out of the managerial situation first.

That's true and I don't think the quality of teams in depth is as good in Spain as in Germany, conversely Auba plays in a team that creates a bucket load of chances every game, Griezmann plays in a very strong defensive first Atleti team that doesn't create as much, it would be interesting to compare their shots per goal ratios.
Why not both plus that Dembele kid, sure it would set us back around £170m but I'm sure such an attack would be worth it. Disposals of undesired players could bring in the extra thirty or forty million we'd need to sign a dependable CB.
What do you mean?
Definitely Griezmann even with Obama-yang's brilliant pace and slightly more natural drive for goals we need badly someone substantially better than Lingard.
Knowing Mou's need for quicker progress he'll probably go for Griezmann and Zlatan but his visit at Dortmund's away fixture in Berlin not so long ago could even mean we can end with far more options than just one of two... that I would hope from manager of a biggest format.
Griezmann easily.

or both!

Auba has repeatedly said that he'd like to play for Real Madrid one day, having promised his grandfather that he'll play there one day. Don't see much point in going after him when he's Real Madrid bound.
Aubam is a cracking player but he's a few years older than Griezmann and regularly has atrocious hairstyles, so on that basis it's Antoine for me. I also happen to think he's the better player of the two.
Massive fan of both but I think Griezmann may slightly suit us better but I'm a massive fan of Auba's pace. What about Reus? Nobody has been linked to him.
Griezmann for me.
But the comparison should be something like Griezmann vs Reus vs Dybala vs James
For the striker position... Aubameyang vs Kane vs Lukaku vs Ibrahimovic

Woodie always saying we are rolling it it and can afford anyone, why not get both?
Having said that I think we can land Griezmann but not quite sure about Aubameyang.
