To the defoe thread......................
It really isn't tbf, something obviously happened today with the briefing straight after the TAS announcementBehave, man.
If that's true he's wasting a year of his career for good will. Back in the day players would give their leg to sign for us now we are just an after thoughtBig girls blouse he is.
Would seem likely.Well if I had to guess, today's briefing to the press from our side came after we found out Griezmann wasn't going to leave. On to the next one...
Of course it is. Reasonably young French International, rated one of the best in the world. Deep down everyone knows it's going to happen but get swept along in the muppet tide of 'will he, won't he' for the summer.This is nothing like the Pogba transfer.
They haven't managed to sign a world class player either.Now is the time to start worrying about City, I didn't care about what they did because we had Griezmann coming now that's off I'm officially concerned about next season we need world class players and there's very few of them around![]()
Uh-huhI will.Ducker vs Acquire me, who will come out on top of the battle of the real ITK...stay tuned.
Good stuff. Closing thread with this as final post.If only he'd said the CAS decision wouldn't matter...
Oh wait, hold up, what's this?
Not going to happenI don't see him leaving immediately if that ban is not lifted. Atletico might try to negotiate that he joins his new club in the winter window. Strike the deal now but leave during winter.![]()
And this:I will.Ducker vs Acquire me, who will come out on top of the battle of the real ITK...stay tuned.

Which club, United ? Seems to me we are putting this on ice to first buy a striker, then finish this off. As opposed to the opposite which would almost surely result in Lacazette fee going up (assuming the entire Lacazette thing isn't just a massive diversion).For what's it's worth, a friend who works for the club is still saying this is happening.
Whether he's correct or not we shall see, but last summer he was spot on about Pogba and Zlatan weeks in advance.
Wasn't it because Atleti had something like 50 further chargers against them than Real regarding dodgy transfer dealings over the same period?By the way real got their ban cancelled and atletico could not?
Yeah I will.only admit it is over when the transfer window slams shut. Too many contradictory messages from Griezmann, journos and people close to Griezmann to really think this is the end.For what's it's worth, a friend who works for the club is still saying this is happening.

I still wouldn't be too optimistic about signing Griezmann this window, maybe next year.Which club, United ? Seems to me we are putting this on ice to first buy a striker, then finish this off.

I agree, at the risk of sounding like a deluded muppet. What's the go with Pogba's social media teasing/interviews? I don't wanna invest too much but where there's smoke...Yeah I will.only admit it is over when the transfer window slams shut. Too many contradictory messages from Griezmann, journos and people close to Griezmann to really think this is the end.
I think it is the end for now, he looks like he doesn't want to abandon Atletico because of their transfer ban, next summer when they can sign players he may leave.Yeah I will.only admit it is over when the transfer window slams shut. Too many contradictory messages from Griezmann, journos and people close to Griezmann to really think this is the end.
VidalSneijder all over again![]()
Not nearly close enough. Sneijder's speculation lasted much longer, this has been done fairly quickly.Sneijder all over again![]()
I have a weird feeling United will sign Neymar out of the blue like Anderson and Nani.
Specially with Messi being found guilty in Spanish courts, him being next probably.
With Griezmann, I think it has to be this summer or not at all. Not because he will be older or no longer value for money but because this is a huge summer for the club in the transfer market.This next statement is HUGELY if this is all true and we won't sign him this summer (and hope we still do), and a lot is down to the athletico ruling today - Would you still sign him next season at £85m odd or say his ship has sailed? He'll be 27+ years old and I don't think he has more than 3 years left at the top (if that) at that age, specially in a physically dominating league which is perhaps why Zlatan excelled.
I'd much rather spend £120m on an 18 year old Mbop than £85m on a 27 1/2 year old for sure.
Yes, he works for UnitedWhich club, United ? Seems to me we are putting this on ice to first buy a striker, then finish this off. As opposed to the opposite which would almost surely result in Lacazette fee going up (assuming the entire Lacazette thing isn't just a massive diversion).
Has he any updates on the matter then?Yes, he works for United
Well, the tweet did say "might be staying".. this saga is getting more complicated day by day.![]()
Griezmann liked the tweet that he's staying because of the ban. Shut it down fam.![]()
The ban changes nothing as far as we are concerned.Has he any updates on the matter then?
