ESPN FC’s Sid Lowe, Steve Nicol, Alejandro Moreno and Shaka Hislop delve into the rumours linking Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez with a move to Barcelona. Lowe says he doesn’t see Martinez making a move in January and thinks Barca could look for a «cheap fix» in the interim. The FC crew also delve into Antoine Griezmann’s role at Barcelona and how he could move to his natural position in the middle of the front line when the time comes for Luis Suarez to leave the La Liga champions.

The problem with Griezi is that he plays in a similair Messi role, he used to do that at atleti aswell, but griezi is someone who played behind diego costa in Atleti. Messi needs someone who makes runs and not someone who keeps playing as either a false nine or a dead tree on the left.
ney mar never reached the heights, i like antoine but 95 percebt back passes. he aint to a lot of imaginatio, my grandson would wipe the floor with him as footballer with imagination.
Nobody knew Lautaro but now everybody know him and talk about him. Tragic people hahah
Yes yes yes
Bamos por Lautaro ya lo queremos en el club del Barcelona
JOVIC at RealMadrid
L-MARTINEZ at Barcelona
Duvan Zapata Is way better but no one pays attention to him because he is Colombian
There is no replacement for Suarez.
So if the Neymar plan didn’t work, why did they prioritize Griezmanns transfer???
Would be great‼️
Barca need Neymar for left wing. He is the best choice, n he is not done yet. Other thing Barca need better right back n ofcourse Valverde out.
I've been thinking about this since last year CL match against Inter. Martinez playstyle looks really similar to Suarez, unpredictable, impulsive and aggressive.
A panel of failures trying to make everyone else sound like a failure ?☹?ESPN FC can suck a left nut.
inter will never let him go barca can forget it
He is also a great player
He is also a great diver
Fantastic like for like replacement
Orrrr… orrrr…. hear me out. This may sound crazy. But maybe you could just move griezman to Suarez position ?♂️
Just bring Marcelo Gallardo or pep and put griezmann in number 9 and fati on left and messi on right.. Hence, solved…
You guys just see the match stats you guys don't see the live matches. Griezman has been getting better every week.
Are these people serious? What is the point of having players like Alex Collado, Carles Perez, Ansu Fati, Dembele if you don't use them and let them develop and become the replacement instead of always talking about buying new players? That having been said I like Lautaro Martinez. He's impressive.
Neymar was the future of barca but all know what he did
Lautaro has been great, but man for the price tag? A bit overvalued, and barca has PAID too many overvalued players
Griezmann is doing fine as expected to his adjustment. But he will not be a 9 replacement, he never was. Barca has been linking up good lately, lets see how this trains goes.
Why would Barcelona need Martinez? They have Griezmann for the next 3-4 years, and Ansu Fati for the long term! Get Neymar or another left side inside forward, and they're sorted!
yes best replacement in suarez . LMG (light machine gun) . sacke valverde soon and replace new barcelona coach
Neymar is coming back so why can’t valverde just put Griezmann in his original striker position and Neymar on the wing!
Son from Tottenham would be a good fit too
Is he good enough? Sure, i'd even say he's the perfect replacement, but the smart thing to do is let Griezmann gradually replace Suarez. Then when Greazy is in the same situation as Suarez, buy Lautauro as a straight replacement instead of continuing to force central players to play wide
Yes and the important thing is he don't bite
Not sure if these guys watched Barcelona recently but Griezmann is starting to find his feet with his teammates. This isn't Fifa, you don't just get a new player and he'll automatically play at the top of his game. He's been starting on the left but if you actually watch the games you'd see that he drifts into the middle, goes on the right and basically interchanges depending on the situation. I have no problem with his performance thus far. People keep dwelling on his position but he's good enough to play on the left.
Suning don’t sell the best players. You have no clue
