I'm with you there mate, is he really much of an upgrade of Willian?

That lad has scored 25 goals this season probably more than WIllian has managed in last 4-5 seasons and he is also capable of play striker spot as well as winger.

Willian and Griezmanns end product is night and day. He will end up scoring more goals this season then Willian has his entire professional career. Offensively he is a much better player then Willian, or Cuadrado for that matter, is

 

This.

 

Willian may contribute more defensively, but when it comes to actually scoring goals/creating chances (like a winger should) then Griezmann is the much better option. Though I think Willian would be a great backup winger to bring on as a impact sub, his energy levels are insane, like Cuadrado

Fair enough haven't really seen him play that much so can't really comment but his stats are impressive. Different kind of player but how about Turan pure class and works so hard for the team would love him here.

Turan is a very hard working player, but his output is similar to Oscar/Willian in that he doesnt score too many goals or create as many chances, there would be no real point in having him in our team when we already have similar players. 

 

Koke however I'd love to have, to play alongside Matic

I've watched la liga all season, and Griezmann really lives up to the hype, AM would be nowhere without his haul of goals, he can reakky play as well, so for me a huge thumbs up... 

Well, well, well since making this thread it has certainly picked up a little bit.

Fun fact for you all, the two rumour posts I have started have both signed for Chelsea. Here's hoping third time is a charm.

We'd win the Champions League with Koke and Griezmann   

I thought he was a winger but looking at the clips looks more like a second striker

I would rather Isco than Koke, but oh well, doubt Madrid would sell Isco.

Willian doens't play as a striker, i'd like to think that most strikers would score more goals then Willian

Last season he wasn't playing as striker still managed a hefty 20 in 49. So your logic is fail.

He's an massive improvement on Willian if you consider output.

Athleti wont sell both, would be happy with griezmann and schnederlin.

Willian works hard, but he's in no way a goal scoring attacking midfielder. I am still disappointed in his goal return for a 30 million player, whether hard working or not. Sanchez works his socks off, yet he's something like 3rd/4th top scorer in the league, so Willian really should be doing more and has no excuse having been here for much longer.

Atletico are on sky now, griezman just made a great pass in behind the levante defence.

If we get Griezmann we won't have to sign any other attack minded player for a long time, and if we focus more on CM we have a squad capable of winning the UCL

Watched again against Levante. Still not convinced he is taking us to the next level ie. CL contenders

Griezmann is a fantastic player. Effective either as a winger or a striker. Really doesn't have a preferred position and works hard; a true Mourinho type of player. Very productive.

Someone of his quality is looking a must. In case this really is cuadrado's actual level.

It happens...

‘Antoine Griezmann could have joined Chelsea last January - but Mourinho bought Mohammed Salah instead’

Great player, he'd be a wonderful addition if you ask me.

 

He's a proper goal scoring winger/forward, whether that effects your team balance I'm not quite sure, as Jose seems rather happy with Willian offering a disciplined role on the right but he'd improve many top European sides. He's had a magnificent season as well considering it's his first in Spain and seems to be rather versatile among the front three.

 

Few French speakers in your squad such as well such as Zouma, Remy, Cesar, Drogba, Hazard, Thibaut; which is always useful.
