Morata over Griezmann?

In terms of what we need I can see it, especially with our manager, he's always liked a #9 that can hold the ball up and act as the fulcrum for the attack, that will be his priority with Ibra done, he needs that more than he needs a second striker as that role is no good without the #9 to play off, so in terms of pieces for the puzzle I can see Morata as a priority for Jose.
 
First hererra now martinez, is valverde trying to turn Barcelona into a basque team.
Well, The Barça of dream team had a good group of basques, Bakero, Goikoetxea,Txiki, Salinas. Even Cruyff said that he signed basques because the catalans weren´t brave enough. Personally not a big fan of Martínez.
 
Using us for a pay rise....
Didn't he just sign a contract with Atletico last year? He has 4 years left on his contract. I would be surprised that he was trying to get a pay rise after all he's done and said in the last few weeks.

Griezmann re-signed less that 12 months ago, around end of june 2016. How on earth could this already be another contract/wage stunt? I just can't see it.

Plus surely if you're only looking for a raise then you brief journalists or let you agent do the talking. You won't announce it more than once on TV
 
That would be awful.....Mbappe could become amazing, but he might not. Morata is a decent striker. Greizmann is one of the top 5 players in world football.....it's a fairly simple choice.

That is strange indeed. I thought Antoine is our first priority as well. Morata (if not for his desire to move to Italy) and Antoine would be ideal and would probably cost the same as Mbappe.
 
You mean Mbappé could 'remain' amazing. He is currently amazing, the question is if he will continue it.

The only guarantee of that is via getting to know about his personality and background, which seems to be very good from reports. Other than that, only obstacle is injury, which has nothing to do with age. He's not suddenly going to forget how to play football simply because he's young.
Plenty of young talents have been amazing in their first senior season. Now video analysis on him starts big time, every bit and quirk of him will be analyzed and tought to the defenders, they will know a lot better how to defend him next season. If he can replicate his class then, we can start talking. But even then i'd still prefer Griezmann who is proven on the highest level, while Mbappe really only shined in a rather weak league playing for a team that dominated the vast majority of the opposition.
Don't wanna take anything away from him, but getting to Griezmann's level would already be big for him. Going beyond it in 5 years definitely a possibility, but far from given, despite some Redcafe "experts" already calling him the next Ronaldo.

Another point often overlooked by the 'just played one season' brigade is that Mbappé has been playing football for years. Just because he may have come to your attention this season doesn't mean top coaches and scouts have not known of his capabilities for years. It may be that he was alreasy seen as a generational level forward talent when in the youth systems, and what he did last season has simply confirmed this to people, as opposed to alerting them to him.

He's had a stand out season. It was impressive but that's all so far. Can you think of any players who have looked great for a season as a youngster and gone on to underacheive or not live up to the initial hype? If so, it's fair to say Mbappe isn't sure to be a great player.

Is it considered rude to openly say that i have literally no clue who all these players are except txiki and i know of him only because he works for city now.

I mean it's not inconceivable, he could be a greedy SOB, but it's highly, highly unlikely that this is a pay raise stunt.
 
I think griezmann is already done,that's why he isn't a priority more of a formality..i think we want morata or mbappe for the striker position

As of now a 3 man attack all sharing the goals should be the way , also we get to try martial and rashford as strikers without the defensive duties. Mbappe dreams of madrid.
 
As long as it doesn't adversely affect us, it's great to See Milan making a return to the top potentially. Used to love watching them back in the day, and playing them on Sensible Soccer from time to time :D
 
Milan are getting a tasty team together. Where is the money coming from? Heard they might be in for Morata and Belotti?!
 
This one always confuses me. How has anyone not snapped Rodriguez up from Bremen over the past few years?! I thought he'd be a shoe-in for someone like Liverpool.

Wolfsburg not Bremen! Mainly, because he's been bang average, not progressed at all.

I have nothing against that idea but I'd be surprised if we see it here, Jose is a traditionalist when it comes to #9's, like Conte and Ancelotti, he's not going to go for this floaty front 3 like Pep and Klopp.

Inigo? Think he could be good as a DM actually. As a CB, well...he can't really defend...

Same here. I've always had a soft spot for Milan from the Gullit days. He was my first football superhero.

Jose will have to there is no other option.
