I don't think griezmann is all that. Would he be better than de bruyne? I don't think so.

Gylfi Siguršsson of swansea is the third highest assister in the premier league. 9 goals as well. And no one talks of him moving for huge money. He's scrapping in a rubbish team as well, not athletico pummelling teams every now and then.

For the 80-90-100 million they're on about for griezmann I'd expect a generational talent. Not just an above average midfielder.

If Man U do this it'll prove to anyone they're there for the taking with transfers. They won't take the risk on buying slightly more unknown people, just throw money at the hyped up players.
Oh would you behave? Have you actually watched Griezmann play? He's absolutely brilliant. Griezmann has scored 25+ goals a season every year he's been at Atleti and scored 20 for Sociedad the year before.

Man United have cash to burn so who cares? They spent £90m on a centre mid for crying out loud, so they may as well get an attacking mid for the same price. Above average. Christ. Put your rod away. Also, Atleti are fairly defensive and look to AG to score their goals.
