Great on the ball and doesn’t have to chase after every first touch like Suarez. All things considered, a good addition to the squad.

Good addition.

Where is he going to play in the field. I dont see him replacing Sauraz at the moment.

Whether he is a success or not depends on Neymar's return. Neymar, Griezmann, Messi will work similar to MSN.

Suarez, Griezmann, Messi however sounds not so good as we still lack pace, dribbling and off the ball movement.

Neymar, Griezmann and Messi is terribly imbalanced. How does it work? The only formation we can play is a 4-4-2. A 4-3-3 with Messi is a pipedream.
Which means Messi and Griezmann up top with Suarez LM. Griezmann cant play ahead of Messi. Has flop written all over it.

One can dream, but I assume Neymar eventually won't come so I hope we go for one more WC midfielder a la Eriksen.

Dumbo--Grizzly--Messi
---Eriksen*--De Jong---
--------Busquets-------

Suarez as a super-sub because I don't think he can physically start all games come next season. Grandpa needs to pace himself.

Not sure how Messi and Grizzly will co-exist on the pitch since I am unable to visualize that right now lol.

*Thats my dream signing, I hope we don't end up with Rakitic/Vidal for another season because thats gonna suck. Arthur is decent but only decent.

Replace de jong with Busi and put Arthur where he is...

My apprehension and displeasure at his signing notwithstanding (because I was not sure of fit), have cautiously liked what I have seen of him at LW. Safe to say I think that he will play LW in the 4-4-2. Has combined well so far, pressed and defended exceedingly well and very mobile.

He gives us a lot of movement and dynamism. Definitely a positive addition to the squad.

Hes proved hes that good of a footballer, no surprise there. The thing is how will Valverde fit him together with Messi and Suarez/Dembele in the starting lineup. If he can work something out we will be good in attack. They only weakness I think he has is obviously his size and ability to be a presence in there up front like Suarez, otherwise his all round game is a joy to watch.

glitter celebration

I want him to play as CF , even when Sauraz is back. Lets see how EV fits them when both are available.

Barcelona are set to appeal the £265 fine they received after being found guilty of tapping up Antoine Griezmann while he was an Atletico Madrid player, according to manager Ernesto Valverde.

The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) announced on Thursday that Barcelona had been found guilty of violating its disciplinary code during their pursuit of the forward while he was at Atletico Madrid.

Our new #7, Coutinho kindly gave up the number at the request of Griezmann.

Quiero dar las gracias a @Phil_Coutinho, que además de gran jugador es un enorme compañero. #ViscaBarça #Grie7mann

"I want to thank @Phil_Coutinho who in addition to being a great player is a great teammate"

Another overpaid old misfit that we will be looking to sell next year. And will struggle for years to do so. At least, he is a great pro and works like a fiend off the ball.

Worst player I have EVER seen

I am absolutely disgusted that he ever wore a Barca kit.

The lack of game time is also not helping. He had like 3 very good chances vs juve. With a bit of confidence he could have scored one. Cant beleive he scored 20 goals on average before joining here.

This guy is such a drama queen what need is there to make these 'announcements'

Absolute waste of space, oxygen and resources. He's way in over his head. The only thing I'll give him is that he is indeed hard-working

What has he done?

Atrocious player. Can never play against a packed defence. A player with limited ability who can only play counter-attack era Atlético and France NT football. What a waste of money.

Nice contribution, but I still dont think he fits this team or what our team should look like moving forward.

He needs far too many right conditions to play well and at least once a game he finds himself in that 1v1 situation Dembele thrives in, Neymar thrived in, David Villa and so on and so forth...and he has absolutely no solutions and ends up going backwards.

He is too much a confidence player, when things go well hes capable of doing something, but when things go wrong he becomes absolutely hopeless.

He has had an improved season but I dont think I will ever be convinced. Doesnt help I was totally against his arrival from the start.

Everyone pretty knew he wasnt a good fit for us, but personally I thought hes too good a player to not get, and even not best fit would be beneficial to us. The result is debatable, but looking forward, with our problem with finances, looks like not much hope we can compete for the best anymore, and will need to swap or just buy/loan bargain forwards/strikers, which I dont see is much better than what we have, except Braithwaite of course If the new president can solve the finance issue or at least show prove/promises he will be able to, plus our club name, hopefully that can attract a top one to come join us this summer... otherwise we may be stuck with what we got.

Boo'ed upon arrival to training.

"Messi left because of you".

Not his biggest fan at all, in fact one of his biggest detractors, but that is harsh.
