So? Benzema didn't score in 2 knockout stages of your last 3 CL wins and the games in which he scored last season where mistakes by Karius and Ulreich.

Forgive Nick, he is accustomed liking frauds and hack frauds all his life.

The 2 goals statistic is useless anyway. He did score against ManU away, ball gets deflected slightly and it counts as an own goal => "OMG, SUAREZ NEVER SCORES IN CL". He also scored against Liverpool and was heavily involved in Messi's tap in for the 2nd goal with his knee-shot against the bar. Messi walks it into the empty net => "OMG, SUAREZ DOESN'T SCORE, MESSI WHAT A GENIUS!" Next step will be to make a gif how Messi made ONE meaningful pass to Suarez in the entire Liverpool tie so that Suarez could shoot from a difficult angle which Allison saved => "OMG, MESSI CREATES SO MANY CHANCES, SUAREZ OUT".

Life of a logical Barca fan ain't easy.

You perfectly encapsulated the entire barcaforum forum in one post.

futbol is starting to sound like chad

If he goes to Barca where will he play?

Suarez will carry on playing as a striker because he is Messi's best friend so that leaves the wings, he is not a winger. He's best through the middle but that's Messi's area.

Honestly, Messi is a huge tactical issue for future signings.

Stop being a sheep tbh.

I'm liking this descent into madness direction

The 2 goal statistic is useless as you say. He should perhaps have a few more but it is not like he is missing sitters in CL left, right and center.
It all depends on who is set up to be the main goalscorer of the team. The CF is almost like an enabler in top teams these days. Enabling the top goalscorer score. Suarez does it for Messi. Firminho for Salah. Benz did for CR. Mandzukic for CR etc.
Not sure Griezmann can play with Messi.

Barcelona are now ready to pay €125M release clause for Antoine Griezmann. Talks ongoing with the player about the contract (5 years). #Barça #Atleti #transfers

They are also really close to signing de Ligt according to the latest reports - are they going to sell big or where does the club get all the money from?

Confirmed

Griezmann tweeted goodbye to Atleti

I mean they make at least like 500m a year, when you do that you can basically do what you want.

Terrible transfer for both parties (Griezmann and Barcelona).

Buying isn't so much the problem, it's the wage bill. They'll need to sell to ensure it doesn't become a serious issue.

I'm sure they will, i hear talk about Barca having potential money issues all the time and every summer they spend shitloads lol.

I just don't believe it tbh, it's the same case for most of these teams who are capable of such spending.

It's still a lot more than they usually spend tbf, getting somewhat close to the summer they sold Neymar already. We're talking about almost 300m for 3 players (Griezmann, de Ligt, de Jong). But of course they might just sell a few players and in the end it won't look to bad, who knows.

So what's Barca offense going to be? Suarez Griezmann and Messi or Griezmann Messi and Dembele?

That's a Valverde/Koeman/whomever issue. Lord knows how they would realistically line up but I am sure the shape looks good.

Okay, at least this time, try to win the league by November instead of October to make it look a little bit competitive.

Congrats on Griezzy, and I hope Florentino eats whatever Bartomeu ate to start crapping money as well.

i think barca are just throwing darts at the transfer market tbh. the 2 dutch kids are good young players but they are just kids. the pressure on them 2 boys will be crazy and i think they will get the coutinho treatment after a month or 2. the griezmann deal looks much like the coutinho deal where they sign a star player because they feel like they have to. the dutch lads are not gonna get 1-2 seasons to develope if they need to. the barca fans will expect them to be world class from the first game.

They should get like 100 mil or more from selling Coutinho and Andre Gomes.

Lol lets take a moment to acknowledge what a goddamn pleb he is, making such a fuss about his "tough" decision to stay and recording a documentary just to leave in the next window ffs its actually unreal how deluded this man is.
