Yea right. After Pogba cost almost twice that and is not even a winger or striker. Keep deceiving yourself. Now see who you are comparing Griezmann with.. ROONEY! And he played behind who RVP? In the EPL. Does it make sense drawing comparison between two players from different leagues and at different stages of their career. One has played top flight football for years, knows the league in and out and you want to compare him with Griezmann. You are now grasping at anything regardless of if it is even worth using for comparison to undermine him.

Oasis007:


I asked 3 Questions Dude.... don't just answer one pls!

Oasis007:
Bro..... the bold part is all we are asking for! We need a proven Goal Scorer and I think Griezman is one of the Answers.

Oasis007:
I know we can't compare United with Barcelona but that doesn't mean United should be depending on individual performances to win or draw matches.

If Mou really wanna sign Griezmann, then he should prepare to play attacking Football and build the Team around him.

He said if he had Chicharito in his Team, Goals won't have been problem for United.

Can Chicharito dribble, holdup play, or outrun his Marker?! But it's obvious he's a goal Poacher, a reliable Scorer.

What's the difference between Griezmann and Chicharito?! If JM wished to have had the latter in his Team, then he knows what to get from the former.

elampiro:
How is Griezmann a proven striker? 16 goals in 36 matches proven?

The same number of goals with j.King of Bournemouth and Defoe of relegated Sunderland.

eph12:
Griezmann will not play as a striker but behind the striker. He would be very much involved more in the play and not the final ball. Unless we have a striker intelligent enough to hold up play and watch the runs of Griezmann

Oasis007:


I know whoever you do not like or want is in trouble!

Oasis007:
Nice Point though, but you think United want to sign Griezmann as a SS?!

Funlord2:
Griezmann has scored double figures every season since he joined Athletico in the 2014/15 season! He has so far scored 83 goals in 183 appearances for them! He has 15 goals in the champions league so far while playing for a defensive side with scarce resources!


If you ask them what rooney has been doing since the same 2014/15 season they would start coughing blood! This was how most of you hated on zlatan and cried over his fees before he came and cello taped your mouths shut with goals!


1: aubameyang has said it is real madrid for life?

2: Mbappe has said nobody can yarn him as e go be and that he wants to be guaranteed number one striker status on any teams sheet till after the world cup?

3: Bayern chiefs would back hand any agent that even attempts to ask for Lewandowski phone number?

4: The day we sign harry Kane this summer is the same day the middle east crisis will automatically end!

5: since you guys are patriotic nigerians and don't want to spend any money Ahmed musa is available for £15m..and he can dribble!


Abeg I no get time for all this wailing and gnashing of teeth over dribbles and sqawka abi na swagga stats when I have eyes and a brain! Get behind your _fucking team and allow jose develop his vision for next season!

elampiro:
Please give us only league goals. Double figure my foot. You added cup matches, local cup matches.

elampiro:
At Madrid and Manchester United, Di Maria was substituted in almost every game. He was substituted more in United. His dribble per match (per 90 minutes) did not change.

Di Maria was very good at United until Van Gaal changed his position where he excelled on his arrival.

Despite his not so much game time, Di Maria still finished with 10 Assist in 1645 minutes "that's half of the time Griezman played this season that he had 8 Assists.

In 2014/2015 EPL season, Di Maria came second in Assists/minutes played for players playing more than 400 minutes.

Fabregas 160.6 minutes per Assist
Di Maria 164.5 minutes per Assists

That was the season Fabregas was crowned king of Assists.

If Di Maria with so much dribbling skills struggled in EPL, then Griezmann would just be a waste.

Funlord2:
You want league goals? Here are his league goals...IN LA LIGA ONLY!


1: 2014/15....37 appearances 22 goals

2: 2015/16.....38 appearances 22 goals

3:2016/17.....36 appearances 16 goals


Compare them with the numbers of any of your beloved strikers that have led the line for united since 2014/15...dont even try to add ZLATAN!

larride:
So no one has read about the Terror attack in Manchester last night?

elampiro:
The truth is I feel he is a gamble. He might come in and prove me wrong. But from what is on ground, we should look for another. The worst is that he doesn't have the pace to burst forward like Rashford. All the chances we couldn't make something out of due to lack of pace of Ibrahimovic might still be the same story. A through ball that should be one vs one would amount to nothing because a pacing defender recovered.

Griezmann problem actually started from Euro 2016 final. He could have won it for France but he missed glaring chances. He has even regress from that tournament.

Oasis007:



Are you saying Dybala is better than Griezmann?!

You include Dybala in the Class of Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar?

Are you a Weedtaker or Funlord..... cos it's either you are high on weed or just making Fun?!

See Oasis, don't vex me oo ..... I said he's a player that takes his team the extra mile!!!!!! Something Griezmann lacks!

elampiro:
1. 22 goals in a league where top scorers score 30 to 40 goals every season.

2. 16 goals this season. He has declined already.

3. Diego Costa scored 27 league goals before joining Chelsea, but could only reach 20 in the EPL.

4.Zlatan scored 38 league goals before coming to EPL. He highest ever. Now he can't score 20. You want us to take 16 goals striker. Do you just love his looks or his name (Griezmann) or anything to improve on what we have?

You can manouvere it all you want. But the fact remain that dribbling doesnt win you jack in the BPL, goals do. All your dribbling is nought if you cannot rack atleast 20+ goals a season. Greizmann has done it the last season and the one before and his 16 this season is 4 shy off. In a two horse league, that is great. Not forgetting his been the top league scorer for athletico in a far from good season. Dimaria with all this dribbling didn't cut it in united. Ran away like a pussy and all you can give is the LVG excuse.

codedguy1:
Please name the others we should be looking for?

Let's even have an idea who you think is ideal for that position.

Realistically.

eph12:
Griezmann will not play as a striker but behind the striker. He would be very much involved more in the play and not the final ball. Unless we have a striker intelligent enough to hold up play and watch the runs of Griezmann

eph12:
Pogba was a mistake we shouldn't make again. Not talking about the player but the transfer fee.

elampiro:
I will be back with a list later.

Oasis007:
Do you think we can just bully any Club or Player with Money?! What about if the Club is not selling the Target or the Target refuses to sign for us?!

You and I want the best for United, getting a Player like Griezmann isn't a downfall for the Club. We need to consider the Players' availability and Clubs' Transfers Policy.

Why can we buy Messi, Neymar or Suarez from Barcelona?, or perhaps we should bring back Ronaldo from Real Madrid.

How are you so sure Dortmund would sell Auba to us or the Player himself would prefer coming to United?!

No one is saying Griezmann is a Messiah, but he's one of the best you could get and be proud of!

codedguy1:
WHEN we win the EL na for arsenal thread I go celebrate

Players are not exactly responsible for their price tags, there are many factors that determines that. I understand those that say his price might not worth it but for me its what he brings to the field is what am concerned about, after all I can't influence the price, na wetin I wan see for field be my problem.

Now to use his price to now evaluate his contribution s to the team will be seen when or if he comes.

Nobody blames pogba for those balls he gives to baba zlatan that he misses, tgats what we expect from him. pogbas criticisms are more of his lazy play and his somewhat lack of urgency, trying to guard the ball instead doing a simple pass, showboating.

The party go hold for their thread sure ....

As for this griezmann, i no trust am, we are going for a gamble and the odds aren't in our favour...
