Who would you prefer? Depay or Griezmann?

[SambaSpurs]

Depay; Age: 20, Weight: 12st 4lb, Height: 5ft 9in
Last season Eredivisie stats; Apps: 32, Goals: 12, Assists: 7
Reputed cost: £15million

Last season La Liga stats; Apps: 31(4), Goals: 16, Assists: 3
Reputed cost: £25million

We're being heavily linked we've these two youngsters who recently impressed at the world cup, who would you prefer and why?/Do you think a LWF is needed this summer?

 

[Chris12]

Probably best if added a poll..

 

[KingNothing]

Whoever Pochettino prefers.

Though I hope Chadli puts in some good performances and impresses. Definitely a better fit at the left than Lennon

 

[chinaman]

Depay for me.

 

[fatpiranha]

Bit of a no contest isn't it?

edit: apparently not

 

[beats1]

Not the only LW's on the move:
Douglas Costa
Bernard (neither wants to go back to a war torn country and matches had to be moved other stadiums)
Konoplyanka
Pastore or Lavezzi if or when Di Maria signs
Shaqiri
Gaitan
and more

As well as guys other AM's like Isco, Yarmalenko and etc.

Chadli doesnt join the squad until the Celtic match

 

[Davious]

I'd prefer it if we finally utilised Ceballos & Falque and invested in our Defence instead. I was pleasantly surprised by those two during the Sounders game.

 

[SambaSpurs]

Probably best if added a poll..

Good point, don't know how though...

In all honesty I hope we move Lennon on, with fullbacks pushing up in poch's system and the wingers coming inside I don't feel this suits his game at all, not to mention his declining form over the last few seasons and how few goals he scores for an attacking player.

Griezmann is going to be a superstar a la Bale.. For 25 million euros(lazy journalisim again, that is the buyout clause).. we need to tie it up before likes of Chelsea start to get involved.

 

[Strikeb4ck]

Griezmann out of those two.

Admittedly I haven't seen much of Depay, but I can't say he's been impressive in what I've seen of him. Had to be one of the most overrated players of the WC.

 

[spursandbarca]

Griezmann is powerful like Bale and good finisher...

Good Point we all know how Chelsea are with AM/Wingers and they are running low
Hazard
Oscar
Willian
Schurrle
Fabregas
Salah
Atsu
Piazon
Marin
Moses
Hazard
Cuevas
Van Ginkel
Traore
Pasalic
Kakuta

Makes you wonder why these morons sign for them in the first place

Given only these two choices, I'd pick Griezmann any day of the week without hesitation.
However, considering the cost of investment, wages, the difficulties/terms of the potential deal, etc., I'd go for Konoplyanka -->> would be much more affordable/financially sound in terms of transfer fee than Griezz...much lower wages than Griezz...Probably (slightly) less cumbersome to deal with Dnipro than with R. Sociedad (although neither club are in a hurry to sell, tbf)....And last, but not least, the actual value (in terms of quality received for the money laid out) of Kono vs Griezz is much better. Kono IMHO is well-equipped for the rigors of the EPL. Not saying Griezz isn't, but overall I see Kono as more of a Levy-type deal than Griezz, but I could be wrong.
Also, I am not quite sure if we're truly after any of these LW/LWF players (haven't seen any ITK to support any of the media claims so far).
If we were, I'd be all over Kono, that's for sure. For £14-15 Million, you can't beat that with a hickory stick.

 

[nferno]

DePay could fail to develop as expected, Griezmann is already a star and has room for even more development. The smart money is on the Frenchman.

 

[Flashspur]

cant go past Griezmann.....finished article....what you see is what you get

 

[ravo]

Griezmann all day long.

Although, as others have said, it would be great to see Falque/Ceballas come through.

 

[ShaunL84]

Griezmann

Memphis Depay sounds like a pornstar.

 

[Arthur Hucksake]

I would be over the moon if we signed Griezmann. Burst of acceleration and a sweet shot on him.

Depay is from the line of slower, stronger type wingers who just aren't suited to the EPL in my book. He'd be another Chadli.
