Surprisingly enough, Antoine Griezmann is under Barcelona's radar again. There are reports surfacing about Barcelona trying to land the Frenchman as part of their post-debacle revolution. There is a lot of doubt about how the Camp Nou faithful will actually react to this. As far as we recall, he was booed out of his ears at the Camp Nou.

But on the bright side, he is a world-class player and he eliminates the need for sacrificing Suarez's experience and big-game prowess. Griezmann already knows what it is like to be on the biggest stages and he has played the World Cup Final, the Champions League Final, and the Euro Cup final.

He is the potent weapon for Atletico Madrid upfront and he creates and scores effortlessly despite the defensive style employed at the club. He has scored 15 goals and has created 9 assists in 35 games this season. Barcelona desperately needs a finisher up front who would not mess chances up. Messi creates, Griezmann scores, this needs to be the new trend.
