    Griezmann looks a great player, he's the one we need for the wings if we are in the market for a wide forward. I would prefer him to Draxler tbh.

    Lightweight little twat. If he couldn't cut it the first time he won't again.

    Plus he represents everything that was wrong with the club for years. Loser mentality.

    Yeah, I'm starting to lean towards the young French lad too - I still have a feeling that Draxler will be an absolute monster of a players at some point, simply because of the raw attributes he has, but right at the moment his stats are long way behind Griezmann's, and he comes with the heftier price tag? If we're going with our heads then there's only one choice there.

    To be fair to Vela, he does look like he's toughened up a lot in that clip? Still don't think we should be looking at him as anything more than an easy, no-hassle alternative, if all the other options we're looking at crap out though.

    That being said, I do wonder if we can use Vela's £3m release clause to our advantage in any talks for Griezmann? There's a lot of clubs snooping around Griezmann, so odds are they're going to lose him anyway, but only us who are able to pry Vela away for next to nothing - I'm guessing they won't want to lose both players at the same time (especially if they'll barely getting a fee for one of them), so they could eliminate the threat of losing Vela (and maybe get us to write off the release clause in the process), if make us the preferred bid for Griezmann?

    Vela has improved a lot since he was with us, playing games has obviously helped, being given half a game here and there was never going to develop him.

    Wouldn't mind him back as well as a top striker, he's a decent player who never really got a chance first time and suffered from being played out of position when he did play as well.

    clearly not going to sign him and a top striker, or a top striker full stop...to do that beaky nose would have to admit that Giroud isn't good enough.

    Vela is having a fine season from the looks of it and he’s always been a good little player. I don’t think he adjusted to life in England and I don’t think it was helped by the lack of first team games plus being played out of position. Wenger would always play him down the left and he’s a left footed player with an eye for goal. Playing him in that position just forced him down the byline because he’s so left footed and it reduces his game. For Real Sociedad he plays down the right as an inverted winger so he’s able to play off his preferred foot and cut in on goal. He might as well stay in Spain because Wenger doesn’t use inverted wingers anymore if you look at how he plays Podolski and Walcott. I don’t think there is any point in him coming back if we use him in the same way.

    Wouldn't be the worst option in the world but we'd still need a lot more.

    Griezmann would be a good option....i think our best striking option would be Remy, quick, strong and 20 goals in 40 league appearances....and imagine how productive he'd be being fed by players like Cazorla and Ozil.
