Can Rashford do the hold-up play? cos Griezmann thrive best when playing with a striker/target man in front of him as can be seen with Fernando Torres in Athletico Madrid and Oliver Giroud in the French national team.

if Rashford can't act as a target man, then if we buy Griezmann, we might still have to buy another striker to play as a target man.

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.

joeace2020:
You are back to this shape shifting tendencies. You said he didn't have double figures, now it's a league where people score 30. Why not focus on Laliga and tell me the players of Sevilla, Valencia and the other teams besides athletico that have been scoring anything near the guys from Barca and Madrid. While you are at, tell us if it would be preferable we go for those guys if you find any or we just sshit on everybodies face like we always do by bidding for Laligas well know 30+ goals strikers.

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.

Funlord2:
Don't mind him! He wanted to lie but When I slapped him with the figures...shame catch am! I told him compare those figures with any of our united strikers since he joined Athletico my guy change Lane sharply! He knew that comparison would shame rooney and all our under performers...he has forgotten who he is dealing with! I'm waiting for the[b] la Liga is weak tale next! [/b]

GloryIsaac:
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...

Funlord2:
He mentioned vardy? Jamie _fucking vardy?

elampiro:
I would rather play Rashford and develope him instead of buying a 16 league goal striker for £70m or more. We can back him up with a striker like Vardy.

I still see names of strikers that scored 25 goals in some other leagues. Why always we?

Did A. Madrid cough £100m for Falcao? Costa? Greizmann?

Did Spur cough £100m for Kane?

Did Chelsea cough £100m for Costa

Did Bayern cough £100m for highly proven Lewandowsky?

codedguy1:
Guy calm down!

Elampiro will come back with an elaborate list. I trust him.

Oasis007:



Perhaps, as Funlord2 earlier suggested, we should get Ahmed Musa for £20m, at least he get Pace and he's cheap. Vardy should be cheap to get too.

I really can't believe you of all Analysts could prefer a United Attack to be saddled on the Shoulders of a Rookie!

Danhumprey:
I think Elampiro isn't being fair to Griezmann,although I understand his fears about us buying Griezmann, but he's using one season to judge Griezmann and that's not fair.

l[b]ook at the season Griezmann made the Ballon D'or 3rd position[/b]. he posted good performance and deserving of that position. it's can be argue that he should have even come 2nd sef


all in all, I'm still not sold on this Griezmann transfer, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Oasis007:


I had to watch a Clip of Griezmann to confirm his lack of Pace and dribbling Skill, but I was disappointed, coz he doesn't lack any of the two Qualities.

Elampiro claimed Griezmann is declining, yet he won the Euro 2016 Golden Boot as a SS.

elampiro:
Even FIFA 17 has his pace at around 87

Aubameyang is 97

Euro 2016 with a very good French team that Chicharito could have scored 10 goals. And he ruined their final. Perhaps you saw his dribbling against Luxemburg

joeace2020:
I would have supported the fee if it was Griezmann. someone who's general contribution to attack will be more direct and will probably score goals too. And no time for fanciful flicks and off pitch shenanigans with hair styles and emojis. But Pogba transfer will now make all our expensive transfers suspect.

joeace2020:
We are waiting for the list. Let's hope it doesn't contain names like

Jamie Vardy, Defoe, Modeste, Gomis, Dzeko and so on

elampiro:
I will be back with a list later.

Funlord2:
Na that vardy and rashford talk just end the discussion for me!

1: Madrid= BBC

2: Barca= MSN

3: Man city= JSSA(jesus, aguero, sane sterling)

4: Man u= RRV( rooney rashford and vardy) plus martial and lingaard!


Na person wey know ball be that?

Funlord2:
This Is not a valid argument! I knew after you saw those figures you would start stammering or trying to change lane! So one season with lesser goals but still double figures means a decline to you? Okay how come he had more goals in the champions league this season than he had in the seasons when he scored 22 goals in the league? Or that means he he also declined in europe according to your logic?

Funlord2:
How many people score the amount of goals that ronaldo and messi score? How many players are surrounded by teammates that have the quality that barca have that ensures that suarez and messi get at least 25 a season? How many goals did mbappe score in the french league that makes clubs now want tbuy him for £100m?

Funlord2:
Your man that we are paying 300k per week and that is a guaranteed starter...How many has he scored since 2014? You can't answer? Griezmanns numbers show that he is definitely going to be an improvement on the misfiring forwards we currently parade as strikers! Add one or 2 more quality players like grizzy and where do you think we may be next season! Abeg stop using intangibles like what, who, why,how and when if you are discussing football! Your name is elampiro not nostradamus!

Funlord2:
A man that leads the line for a footballing juggernaut like france is who is declining? A man short listed for the golden ball is who you are doubting? A man that won player of the tournament in the last euros is who who think united should ignore? A man real even with the rivalry wants? A man that has scored some of the best goals in la Liga and the champions league this season is who you don't want to see at united? But they should renew rooneys contract I guess? My guy go chop eba make you sleep small! Grizzy is coming to man united! If you don't like it stop watching the games and I go dey gist you as him dey next season play for nairaland!

This isn't extramile enough abi?

Diademk07:
Lmao!

I guess Tess1 has finally abandoned Smalling.. I hardly see him defend him these days except for the alleged creative turned workhorse Herrera.. Let's see how long it last!

joeace2020:
Elampiro why you mischievous like this? Focus on their league. Don't come and tell us what Eyimba or Akwa United striker scoredthis season. In their league only Messi surpassed the 30 mark, of which 6 goals where penalty, take those out u have 31 goals. Suarez 29 goals no penalty. Fantastic for age and experience and beyond anyone's reach. Ronaldo 25 of which 6 are penalty. Remove them and you have 19 goals. 3 more than Greizmann, Aspas with 6 penalty tells you all u need to know. The rest are obvious. Now of all these guys Griezmann scored 16..none penalty and he is an ss.

3 against Celta Vigo.
2 against Sporting Gijon
2 against Deportivo
3 against Valencia
1 against Eibar
1 against Bilbao (which they drew 2-2)
1 against Granada
1 against Sevilla
1 against R.Madrid
1 against Espanyol

Grizzy stats in the league this season, how many big teams do you see apart from Madrid and Sevilla that he scored against only once?

Yeah, he's good, he's your go-to guy!

Griezmann is not the guy you look to in time of dire need! that's the message i'm trying to get across!!!

I don send different people to go buy material for me for Lagos island.

Na EYO style I wan take show for the party.



You never can tell what's gonna happen. How you guys are so sure the guy will be a flop is what me I can't understand.

See how falcao came to united and could not do anything, a player that looked like those demons on horse back in all those robin hood movies when in full flight with ball. He is Monaco now and am thinking , is this the same falcao that was in united?

If griezemann come, he will contribute his share and if he fails na mourinho go chop am.

No one is actually cheap again and since other clubs are smelling our desperation even Musa as someone suggested might cost 100m if we indicate interest.

Na we cause am sha.

Well, if we wan buy am, no problem.... afterall people dey win for bet9ja

eph12:
And that is someone we want to break the world transfer the second time for?

No mind Mourinho and his antics... nothing is in griezmanns favour here, both the team and the coach tactics... anyway shaaa let's gamble as usual b'cos money dey

codedguy1:
You people should not put names in elampiros fingers na




Elamps, how far?

I would have expected that for someone who has been arguing vehemently against the purchase of griezemann, that you would have at least 4 -5names off the top of your head that are better options. So that we can also debate their suitability.

This one that looks like you are going to consult amadioha and obatala for names, I yam not understanding.
