Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted September 1, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted September 1, 2021 I like Atletico and I preferred Griezmann when he played for them so this is a good move in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Imagine selling Griezmann and freeing up his wages after you've let Messi go . It's amazing how 10 years ago they were the best club in the world and now they are just pure banter, must admit I loved everything about Barcelona, but since the Super League they can go and fuck themselves. Griezmann isn't wanted at Atleti either (by the fans). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted September 1, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted September 1, 2021 How the mighty fall, Barca and Griezmann, I can remember him ready to sign for United then pulled out of the deal due to some loyalty thing with Atletico, years later goes to Barca and has now landed back on planet earth with a great big thud. As for Barca, they have a massive basket full of eggs in their faces where this Super League thing collapsed and they can't clear their billions of debt, it's a funny old world we live in nowadays with Barca, I just hope Real goes the same path as them.

Fair enough, just genuinely curious if it was Super League based or something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 At Atletico he was nearly a 1 in 2 striker, at Barce he turned into a 1 in 3. I think this is a good signing for Atleti regardless of the damage to his reputation. Correa, Suarez, Griezmann and Felix is a well stocked front 4, especially with Correa's early season form. Only worry is that it is an ageing front 4, but maybe it will take the pressure off of Felix to become the player people thought he would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Atleti scored 67 goals last season tied second with Real Madrid. For reference, Liverpool a team that is considered very 'attacking' scored 68, the same as Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never really appreciated his style of football, well before they ever knocked us out. He's obviously a good manager... I just hate watching his sides play. Nothing against him personally, I just don't find myself ever entertained when I watch Atletico... which tbh is only ever in the CL because I'm never going to go out of my way to watch their domestic matches given how much I hate watching them play in Europe. He deserves credit for being a very good manager. And honestly, out of all the "big teams" in Spain, now that Valencia are fucking shit, I do hope he does well because at least when he does well it tends to upset Real Madrid and Barcelona. I just hate watching his sides play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until some 3 or 4 years ago, Real Madrid and Barcelona consistently scored 100 goals or more in a season. La Liga has lost a lot of quality at the top.

La Liga has lost a lot of quality at the top. It was inevitable though correct? Two of the greatest scorers we've seen are now 36 and 34 respectively, neither of whom currently play in the league. Saurez is the last top scorer in La Liga that's left I believe, and he's also 34 and nearing the end of his run. It was a unique period being able to two two of the best ever do it at rival teams week in and week out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
