I said something like this as a possibility a few weeks back, but it looks like a few gossip sites and rags are starting to suggest the same thing...

[condensed version: it says that we might be trying to use our buy-back clause for Vela to leverage a cheaper deal for Griezmann.]
Interestingly, whilst it sounds like most Arsenal fans would prefer Griezmann, the general opinion in Spain (and amongst those who watch Sociedad on a regular basis) is that Vela is the better player, with some going as far as to say that it's not even a close thing?! Both have scored a similar number of goals, but Vela's all round game is supposedly much better - he's quicker, has a better touch, bis a better dribbler, a better passer, and has chipped in with 4 times as many assists as the young french lad, making him the more creative of the two.
In Griezmann's favour though, he's 2 years younger (doesn't sound like much, but, as we've seen with Ramsey, a lot can change in a few months when you're young), he supposedly works his nuts off and contributes more to the defensive side of things, and I guess you could make the argument that we already have plenty of creativity in the side, and therefore might be better off with a more traditional winger who's simply all about the goals and will give our existing players a constant target to aim for?
Then there's the price - Vela for €4m vs. Griezmann for €18m (€30m buyout clause, less €12m for us to write off the buy-back option on Vela). I guess you'd have to say Vela wins that one, even with the potential discount on Griezmann, but I'm not sure how much price should really come into it, unless we're starting to run low on funds? For me, it's more a question of what type of player we need more: a versatile forward, who can play anywhere across the front 3/4, and who can create as well as score; or a more traditional winger, who sticks to the flanks, gets on the end of things, and maybe shields his fullback a little better?
Get both
Get everyone.
