not so sure about that. We have money left over from Neymars transfer and Barto has a hard-on for Coutinho

How much better is he than Hazard for example? I feel like he is more hardworking, but maybe Hazard has the upper hand in pace and technique?
That said I prefer Griezmann.

Cerezo, Atletico president:
"Griezmann is a player of Atlético and I think he will remain for a long time, and you know that I'm not lying to you."
"Everything has its explanation, I've been around since the time of Fernando Torres saying if he's going or staying, they play where they want to play."
"Griezmann is Atlético de Madrid player and you know I do not lie to you, players go in and out but he's fine."

Before that from Fernando Polo about Griezmann joining Barca came, most people here would've agreed with you.
Expecting a U-turn on this regard.

Imagine results like 6-3, 7-2, 8-4
Who needs 2 CB's, put Alena in and lets go with 3-2-5
I really can't see how could we fit both Griezmann and Coutinho in our system if Suarez stays here...
in 4-3-3 there is no way in 4-2-3-1 also no way. With Messi, Dembele and Suarez here only one can come.

We don't have midfield and can't get any, why not maintain the only worldclass MF we have and give him 5 forwards to work with
Imagine a counterattack of
Dembele messi Suarez Griezman Coutinho
Running against Madrid's backline at once.
Dembele makes a low cross and there are 4 men in the box waiting to score

There would't be a counter attack since none of those five would even return to defense. It' would just be a constant attack without defense
But I must admit it would be interesting to watch that.

If we don't sell Suarez I honestly can't see how could we accommodate Griezmann in our starting 11?
In 4-4-2 with Messi, Dembele and Suarez here he can't play anywhere
In 4-3-3 we have similar situation.
In 4-2-3-1 he could play on the LW but even than he would be better as a RW since he is left footed and that means moving Dembele to the left.
If we don't sell Suarez, Coutinho is much more usable solution for us since he can play in LM, LW and AM position.

We have to get rid of Suarez, can't see how we will play with the two, considering they both will be on huge wages too. Griezmann's age might be a problem, we sign these forwards - Henry, Villa, Suarez and so on - when they are around 27. They are performing at a high level for 2-3 seasons while they start declining. Griezmann is performing poorly for Atletico at the moment and nowhere near the level of the formers when we signed them.
Timo Werner would be a better option, proven goalscorer in the Bundesliga and the national team. Dont think he would be +60m either as Leipzig sold Naby Keita, easily their best player, for around the same. Gabriel Jesus or Mbappe would have been absolutely perfect for this role, being a inside forward with Messi playing false nine. Dembele providing width.
